I Let an AI Agent Find Leads and Send My Cold Emails: Setup, Fixes, What Broke

Описание и применение

Автоматизация рассылки холодных писем с помощью AI‑агента Grok Bot, использующего бесплатный метод поиска лидов через Google Maps/Places. Система успешно настроена, но первоначальные письма были некачественными, а эффективность не измерялась.

Задача

Automate daily cold email campaigns with an AI agent while avoiding paid lead tools and ensuring email quality.

Результат

The setup succeeded in automating lead discovery and email sending, but initial email quality was poor and no engagement data were collected during the test run.

Рабочий процесс

• Connect Grok Bot and Gmail plugin
• Create a local lead‑finder project using Google Maps/Places API
• Configure the bot to read inbox and delete spam
• Set up a daily routine to find leads and send emails
• Iteratively refine email template from messy to plain
• Deploy the workflow for continuous daily execution

Доказательства

I connected Grok Bot (a desktop AI agent) to Gmail and asked for a daily cold email campaign of 10 emails.

Источник

It wanted a paid lead tool, so I pointed it at a free Google Maps method I'd built before.

Источник

The first emails came out messy, then over‑designed, and only the third try was a plain email I'd send.

Источник

The automation ended up running, but I have no opens, replies or meetings from this run.
