AI Sales Research

Stop sending cold
emails that feel
ice cold.

Pipesmith researches every prospect before you reach out — funding rounds, pain signals, key contacts, recent news. Outreach that sounds like you spent an hour on it.

AI SDR tools promised the future.
They delivered spam.

On template-based outreach. Your prospects can smell automation from a mile away.

Research first. Outreach second.

01

Deep prospect research

Pipesmith reads LinkedIn pages, company news, job postings, and funding announcements. It builds a full picture before writing a single word.

02

Pain signal detection

The agent surfaces what's actually happening at the company — headcount changes, recent hires, product launches, tech stack clues — and maps them to your outreach angle.

03

Personalized talking points

Every output includes an opening hook, specific talking points, and conversation topics that prove you did real homework — not merge-field homework.

04

Prospect brief, delivered instantly

The finished profile shows up in your dashboard. Export, share, or use it to write your email. You close deals — Pipesmith does the legwork.

One SDR costs $65K/yr. Pipesmith costs a fraction and never calls in sick.

Human SDR
  • $65K base + benefits + management
  • Ramps for 3 months

  • Quits after 14 months (average tenure)

Real research output — funding signals, talking points, key contacts, and more. Everything you need to write one email that actually lands.

Example output
Flowstack

🏢 Design Tech / SaaS 👥 150–200 employees 💰 Series B · $60M 📈 Series B · $60M · Jan 2024
✦ Opening hook
They've scaled past the point where Figma exports are enough — their engineering team is spending real time reworking designs from the design team. Show them how to close that loop without another handoff meeting.
💬 Talking Points 3
Their head of engineering just posted about "rework debt" — sounds like the design-to-code pipeline is creating friction between dev and design teams
$60M Series B closed January 2024 means they're probably hiring aggressively in product and eng — new hires need onboarding workflows
They're using Framer for their marketing site (public job posts mention Framer experience as a plus) — there's a gap between Framer and production code worth exploring
Pain Signals 2
"Each design-to-dev handoff is a translation risk — assets get lost, specs get misread, QA turns into a blame game."
→ Position as a tool that eliminates the handoff entirely — no more "can you export at 2x?"
Source: LinkedIn post from VP Eng, March 2025
They're at the Series B inflection point where pre-PMF chaos becomes post-PMF process debt — onboarding new engineers takes longer because there's no standardized component system.
→ Frame around "component library-as-code" — devs get a single source of truth, design team stops shipping specs that need interpretation
