Agencies charge $10K/month to build personalized cold email systems with Clay + Smartlead. One of our users showed me how to do the same thing with ChatAE for $49/month. So, I recorded a demo video going over how to: 👉 Generate hyper-personalized emails truly at scale 👉 Sync them... directly into the first touch of a Smartlead sequence 👉 Launch campaigns way faster backed by the best account research agent, without the messiness of Clay tables, Zapier, or spreadsheets Volume-based outbound is dying. But outbound that leads with a well-researched POV, a real hypothesis, and true personalization built around that still works. And going into 2026, it’s the ONLY kind of cold outbound that works.show more

Alex Hormozi says the easiest business to start is a service business... You sell a skill you already have and it needs almost no upfront capital. An outbound agency fits that EXACTLY: - No product to build - No inventory - Software costs a few hundred a month - You can start with 1 client - Every system you build works on the next client My outbound agency has run 10M+ emails and 700k+ cold calls across 100+ B2B companies. 30k+ leads and $70M+ in pipeline for our clients All with the same systems running across many clients instead of one. That is 1 of the 2 paths broken down in this article. The other is doing it in house as a GTM engineer. Full guide is in the article:

Cody Schneider says AI slop is flooding inboxes and crushing the old cold email playbook. when every competitor can generate personalized outreach at scale, personalization alone stops being an advantage. timing becomes the edge. you can build a Hermes agent that watches your target accounts for new hires, funding, product launches, expansion, leadership changes, and other signals tied directly to your offer. qualified accounts stay in monitoring until the agent finds a credible reason to start the conversation. when a signal appears, Hermes verifies the source, refreshes the account research, identifies the right buyer, and prepares outreach around what actually changed. the article below shows how to build this signal-driven outbound system with Hermes:

Rippling is a $14B company and outbound drives over 50% of their revenue... Their CRO started by cold calling from Parker Conrad's basement. How it scaled: - Programmatic outbound at 0.5 to 1% - Ran out of accounts to work - 150 SDRs built in 18 months - Same accounts, 3 to 7% - 1,300 demos a month now We run the same principle. 10M+ emails sent and $70M+ in pipeline for 100+ B2B companies. Their CRO also said waiting so long to build outbound was a mistake, And it should start 9 to 12 months before you need it. Full breakdown of their strategy is in the article:

Proud to announce that I've acquired a stake in ListKit. 10 years ago I was sending cold emails one by one with no data and no infrastructure. Every business I've built since came down to reaching the right people at scale. ListKit is the first platform that gives a first-time founder the same outbound firepower as a funded sales team. So this isn't a passive investment. Their full sending infrastructure is being built directly into Credit to the founders Andre, Daniel, Christian, Dan and Oliver. Bootstrapped to a €45M valuation in under three years. Latest addition to the portfolio. Now back to work.

Delve generated pipeline with a Fortune 50 logo within 7 days of deploying Unify. They did it by automating compliance qualification with Unify's AI Agents at the top of their funnel. Delve is an AI-native compliance platform, which means outbound only works if they know one thing first: Is the company already compliant? Or are they working towards compliance? Because the messaging is completely different. → "Let us help you get compliant." → "Let us make your existing compliance even easier." Before Unify, this meant manually inspecting websites and researching compliance status account-by-account which was slow, inconsistent, and impossible to scale. Today, Unify’s AI Agents do that research automatically and route prospects into the right path. Which means Delve can run national billboard campaigns and turn that surge of website traffic into qualified outbound at scale. Taher Lokhandwala (Founding Growth Lead) said it well - "Unify ensures that outreach gets done right. The platform improves my ability to get revenue in the door tenfold." If your outbound depends on custom qualification criteria, Unify's AI Agents can do the research and routing for you.

Let me explain why I launched $KEYS. CA: 3BSoYDZsPupZ15iBzJbJJjZKLiyWEqLxexJX84rBpump is the first SocialFi experience for AI agents. It’s a project that’s very special to me that I’ve been working on daily for the last four months. Right now, everyone is building their own Agent, completely silo to their own computer or Mac mini. Transferring that information agent-to-agent in a simple, structured, and easy form is not possible right now. This is why I built I thought a lot about whether or not to launch an official token for Agent Keys and how I wanted to do it. The only way I really wanted to do it was if it can benefit the platform by increasing exposure and creating an increase in users. So I’ve decided to buy 50% of the supply to AirDrop directly to users over the next six months. Each AirDrop will happen at the end of each month, with the first AirDrop happening at the end of June. More details on how each AirDrop will work soon. Some of you may be wondering about the future of $OSHI. Oshi got us into the Bags hackathon and we won. $OSHI token will still be the home for all my AI Agents and runs as the showcase of how an agent with a token can properly integrate it into AgentKeys, a live example of the platform doing exactly what it was built to do. So welcome to Agent Keys, the first ever airdrop for AI agents. Sign up your agent today on and start collecting KeyCards today!

Agentic advertising isn't possible without a single source of truth. Every agent, every trade, every settlement has to resolve against the same record, or the whole thing collapses back into the mess we're leaving behind. Sui and Walrus are how we get there. The settlement layer and the data layer that make agent-to-agent advertising actually workable at scale. Labs is the community heart of all of this. Built with you, and the best part is still ahead.

This guy did $120,000 in his second month of business and $40,000 of that was profit. He's only six months in. His entire business started because he got a random assignment at a sales competition in Norway where he had to cold call people and pitch birthday cakes. He booked 17 meetings in four hours. That's when he realized he stumbled onto something big. He built the business to $150,000 ARR in Norway, then moved to San Francisco and pivoted the entire model when the birthday angle didn't work in America. The new version converts at 35% to meetings. Cold calling averages 2-3%. What is it? Cold caking. He sends cakes to prospects on behalf of B2B companies trying to close deals. One dentist software company just ordered 1,000 cakes to send to dental offices across the country. In this episode William breaks down: - Why the dead internet theory makes physical gifting the future of outbound sales - How his AI agent negotiates with bakeries in 15 cities without him touching it - The exact margins on each cake - Why cold caking works when cold calls and emails are dying - How one viral tweet turned zero revenue into $120,000/month in six weeks This one is crazy! I love entrepreneurship. Full episode below.

The last major innovation for lawyers was Microsoft Word in the 1980s. Crosby is changing that with a law firm built around AI agents and human lawyers working side by side. Instead of billing by the hour, they charge by the contract, so getting faster aligns incentives. That single change is why hyper-growth companies like Cursor and Clay made Crosby part of their legal team from day one. Ryan Daniels breaks down how the model actually works in the newest Outlier Briefing.

Our team was recently pitched by a well-known AI SDR company. Two problems came up: 1. The company only offered AI SDRs for outbound, we needed a solution to assist us on inbound processes. 2. The software was too complex and overpriced relative to our expected usage. So, I took a couple of weekends to build an early version for what we wanted: - Simple UI that syncs with GMail - Custom AI labeling for emails - AI Agent that drafts replies via CrewAI - Custom knowledge base for the Agent v - Slack inquiry tool for the Agent so it can ask us for clarifications anytime it has knowledge gaps With the help of AI, it's never been easier or more fun to take your workflows and turn them into full web apps. If you're interested in a released version of this, link below.

Coco Gauff after beating Jeanjean in Madrid “You recently compared your relationship with clay to the good guy in a relationship. You have good results on clay but you just don’t love it. What does this surface have to do to win you over?” Coco: “Well first of all did you see how many times I feel today? 😂 I’m always leaving this clay swing with new scars on my body. That’s the first thing. My socks and shoes and everything gets dirty. I like it for my game but it’s the little small icks that kind of get on my nerves. Clay treats me well, just a few icks I need to get over” 😂

This agent relies on a marketplace of 2.8M+ specialized agents to complete a task. This is how I imagine the future of personal agents. Here is how this works: 1. Agentverse is a marketplace of agents 2. Anyone can build and publish an agent there 3. ASI:One is a personal agent with access to the marketplace 4. To solve a task, ASI:One finds the best agent for the job In other words: You have an agent that can solve pretty much *anything* because it knows how to outsource the work to a network of specialized agents. And you don't need to do any setup to get this working. The way ranking agents in the marketplace works is pretty cool: Fetch.ai, the company behind it, created an AgentRank algorithm that works much like Google's PageRank. Every time an agent calls another, it forms a connection. Over time, these connections build into a graph of who relies on whom. An agent that is frequently called by other reputable agents scores higher and surfaces higher in results. The end result here is that your agent will consistently use the best agents in the marketplace to accomplish a goal. You should give this a try: You don't need to pay or even register to try these agents. Thanks to the team for partnering with me on this post.

Paul Graham explains why you shouldn’t try to be a visionary “Empirically, the way to do really big things seems to be to start with small things and grow them bigger. Want to dominate microcomputer software for decades? Start by writing a basic interpreter for a machine with a couple thousand users. Want to make the universal website and a giant vacuum for people’s time? Start by building a website where Harvard undergrads can stalk one another.” Paul Graham continues: “Neither Bill Gates nor Mark Zuckerberg knew how big their companies were going to get. All they knew was that they were onto something… Maybe it’s a bad idea to have really big ambitions initially, because the bigger your ambitions, the longer they’re going to take to realize and the long you’re projecting into the future, the more likely you’re going to be wrong.” PG suggests starting with something small that works instead. “I think the best way to do these big ideas is not to try and identify a precise point in the future and say, How do I get from here to there? Like the popular image of a visionary. I think a better model is Columbus who thought there was something to the West—I’ll sail westward. Start with something that works, that you know works, that’s small, and then when the opportunity comes to move, move westward. The popular image of a visionary is someone with a very precise view of the future, but empirically it’s probably better to have a blurry one.”
