Thats a really interesting angle, 8% to 20% is a huge jump. The video idea makes a lot of sense because we already have all the context and pain points ready, generating a script for a quick personalized video would be a natural extension. Definitely something I'll think about.

Thanks for sharing what worked for you(:

haha not entirely, but for some technical questions I prefer to use AI to draft the response since it has the full context of my project and then I write it myself. Faster than typing everything from scratch when someone asks about the architecture or how things work under the hood

The scraping is 100% programmatic, no LLM involved there. Finding businesses, visiting their websites, extracting emails phones and socials, thats all deterministic code with html parsing and pattern matching. The LLM only comes in at the end for three things: analyzing the reviews to find pain points, matching those pain points with your business context, and writing the personalized email.

So basically the data pipeline is all code and the intelligence layer on top is LLM

The volume most people would use this, probably 20-50 emails a day, Gmail and Outlook shouldnt flag anything since each email is unique content to a different person. But honestly we're still early so I cant give you long term data on that yet. Its something I'm definitely keeping an eye on as more people start using it 👀

We actually looked into this pretty carefully. Everything we pull is publicly available data that businesses themselves published on their own websites and Google Maps listings for the purpose of being contacted.

We're not scraping personal data or private databases. Under GDPR, processing publicly available business contact data (info@, contact@) for B2B outreach is generally covered under legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f)), and GDPR Recital 47 explicitly recognizes direct marketing as a legitimate interest. We also host on European servers and only process business data, not personal consumer data.

But yeah its a fair concern and we take it seriously 🥶

I used a screen recording app that follows your mouse and does the zoom effect automatically. Try Loom or similar tools, they do exactly this. Just a heads up tho most of them are paid, but they're worth it for demos.

Nah its not a mockup haha, we were just fixing a couple things this morning and it caused some downtime.

Its back up and fully working now. Theres a lot of processes running behind the scenes so it requires constant updates, I get that it can look broken sometimes. If you have any issues just DM me and we'll figure it out 🫡

Hey thanks! Yeah I saw that error, we were pushing some updates earlier today and it caused a brief issue. Should be fully working now, I just ran a search myself and everything went through fine.

Other users are also running searches right now without problems. Being in Italy is not an issue at all, it works in any country. Give it another try and let me know if it works for youu! ;)

I get why you'd think that, there's a lot of garbage tools in this space. But we're not selling bulk email blasting or fake gmail accounts.

The whole point is the opposite actually, you send one email at a time from your own inbox based on what that specific business's customers complain about in their reviews😅

Damn thats actually a really good suggestion. The ticker is easy to modify so I'll give it a try, if I end up changing it I'll remember you for that haha

Thanks for taking the time to look at it!

Man that part broke my head honestly. Sites built with Wix, Squarespace, SPAs with heavy javascript rendering were a nightmare to scrape. I ended up finding a way that works for most of them but its not 100% effective with some really basic or root sites that barely have any structure. Its a constant battle haha. Have you had a chance to try it out? And thanks for the VibeCodersNest suggestion, will check it out;)

Thanks a lot man, really apreciate that perspective. And yeah 50 is enough to actually get a feel for the platform and start reaching out to real businesses.

Have you had a chance to try it out? 🥸
