The Demand Engine(er)

What it does

Most demand gen teams are drowning in manual work — pulling exports, building reports, testing copy, scoring leads by hand. I spent the last year automating all of it with AI. The Demand Engine(er) is where I document what I build: AI pipelines, Claude-powered workflows, and the PRDs behind them — written for senior B2B marketers who want to use AI but aren't engineers. Free to read. Real systems. No fluff.

AI systems that drive pipeline, not clicks. A newsletter for B2B demand gen managers, by Matt Danese.

After 8+ years scaling demand generation programs from the ground up, I now build and share AI growth systems that actually work. Plays I run on Monday, written up by Friday. Each project comes with a full PRD — the brief, the prompts, the failure modes, and the numbers it moved. Five are gated. One is free. § The "ATTRIBUTION" build took the longest. Enhanced Conversions for MQLs is the kind of plumbing nobody writes about until it breaks. A fully automated diagnostic system that connects live LinkedIn Ads, Google Ads API, and warehouse data — and writes the weekly performance memo a senior strategist would have written. Runs Sunday night. On your desk Monday. Accepts raw CSV and XLS…from thedemandengineer.com

  I built a frontpage for personal blogs▲783

  With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
