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

说明与用途

使用 Grok Bot 和 Google Maps/Places 免费方法自动化冷邮件发送。工作流程每日运行，但最初的邮件质量不佳，未跟踪效果。

问题

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

结果

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.

工作流

• 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

证据

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

来源

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

来源

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

来源

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