An AI SDR that works your pipeline
A sales development rep's day is one loop: look up the lead, decide if it fits, write the first email, follow up. An AI SDR runs that loop inside your HubSpot and Gmail. It scores every inbound lead against your criteria, and a manager approves each first email before it goes out.
What they do
- Picks up new leads from your website form or ads through a webhook
- Finds or creates the contact in HubSpot
- Scores each lead against criteria you write down, such as company size, budget and city
- Drafts a first email that answers what the lead actually asked
- Follows up on your schedule and stops when someone replies
- Logs every touch as a note in HubSpot
A typical day
- 1
8:45 — Reviews the 22 leads that came in overnight from the website form.

AI appointment setter
An AI appointment setter turns a 'yes, let's talk' into a meeting on the calendar. It reads the request, checks Google Calendar, offers three times that work and books the one the other person picks. If a request is unclear, it hands it to a teammate instead of guessing.
