24 alternatives to I built an AI sales agent that writes and sends cold emails for you

Hey HN, I’ve been working on ElevateSells — an AI sales agent designed to take the pain out of cold outreach for solo founders and small teams. Here’s how it works: You ask the AI to generate leads or manually use the advanced lead search built in tool. You tell the AI what your business does and what problem it solve. It writes very personalized cold emails, sends them, and follows up — all automatically. You still control the voice and audience — the AI just handles the research, writing, timing, and sending. I built it after burning out managing multiple tools for lead gen, email copy,…

    My co-founder and I work in B2B sales. We’ve seen how genuine prospect research and personalized outreach can win deals — but also how exhausting it is to manually research and track every prospect. We tried CRMs and popular sales intelligence tools, but they felt like static directories — good for contacts, not for real insights or engagement. GPTs were great at generating content, but to get a usable Customer 360° strategy, we had to constantly engineer prompts and feed it fresh data about both the customer and us. So we built intellisell.ai — an AI-first sales research assistant that: a)…

    Recently, I was exploring the idea of using AI agents for real-time research and content generation. To put that into practice, I thought why not try solving a problem I run into often? Creating high-quality, up-to-date newsletters without spending hours manually researching. So I built a simple AI-powered Newsletter Agent that automatically researches a topic and generates a well-structured newsletter using the latest info from the web. Here's what I used: - Firecrawl Search API for real-time web scraping and content discovery - Nebius AI models for fast + cheap inference - Agno as the…

    Hi everyone. Over the weekend, I built a tool for finding contacts using AI. Here's the backstory. My partner and I are working on an agrotech startup – we’re building telematics for agricultural machinery. Most of our sales come through cold outreach: you search for contacts, message them, call, make deals and so on We also do indiehacking, because agrotech is slow and a sometimes boring. At some point, we got tired of manually collecting contacts from the internet, so we built a AI tool for that. It turned out to be super helpful, and we decided to share it with the world. If anyone here…

    Hey HN, I built Cold Craft, a Chrome extension that helps draft cold outreach messages quickly and naturally. I often struggled to write outreach emails or LinkedIn messages that didn’t sound robotic or forced, and found myself spending ages rewording them. As a developer, I thought there had to be a better way. With Cold Craft, you just select the recipient type, purpose, and tone, and it generates a tailored message instantly. I built it to keep the flow simple: minimal clicks, clean UI, and fast results right inside the extension popup. It uses OpenAI for generation. Building it taught me…
