Run outbound sales from research to booked demos preview
What They Did
Solo founder gave OpenAI Dots his ICP, calendar and inbox plus one prompt. The agent ran recurring jobs: scholar researched news/hiring/funding/tech for targets, watcher spotted signals, bouncer disqualified before outreach, builder wrote one fact-based first line per email, manager handled replies with calendar slots and produced one-page briefs. It acted autonomously after the first 20 emails, max 30/day, stopping on no-interest replies.
How It Went
Over four days it researched 300 companies, qualified 61, sent emails, got 18 replies and booked 14 demos for $186k pipeline; nine were disqualified for size or budget.
Worth Knowing
Founder reviewed and approved only the first 20 emails before full autonomy.
Try it yourself with Dots

Run outbound sales for my product, [what you sell]. My ideal customer is [industry, company size, job titles, other criteria]. Research [number] companies that fit, qualify them against those criteria, and give me a list showing why each qualified. For each qualified company, draft a personalized email to [contact role] that mentions something specific you found, and propose times from my calendar for a demo. Pause and show me the full list and all drafts before sending any email or booking anything on my calendar, and stop once I have approved the batch.
