It's been inspiring to follow your pivot journey and congrats on the launch! Finding creative and more down-to-earth ways to use AI that don't contribute to the noise of fully AI-generated content is the way to go as I see it. It seems like that's what you're trying to do here by transforming from Zaplify into Andsend! One question I had is how you ensure confidentiality and data protection when feeding the AI everything in inboxes and LinkedIn accounts? At least being based in Europe may present some advantages for this, right? Some people are selective about what they choose to share with AI models, myself included.

Andsend
@jan_heimes Haha, we do like to keep it straight to the point!
Andsend
@jan_heimes Please give it a spin and let us know how it went!

@filipkalkan Haha as do we with Needle. (Find the Needle in the haystack.)
Looks interesting and look forward to see you grow! on another note - You identify sales opportunites via data sources like Email, LN and CRM data - What key data signals do you prioritize when determining the best outreach moment, and how do you ensure the recommendations remain contextually relevant?
Andsend
@robert_fon1 Thanks Robert! We're actively scanning their LinkedIn, researching account information and news, and analyzing your conversation to find timely moments to reach out, follow up and create the best possible message!

@robert_fon1 This is a very good question. The short answer to your question is "All of them". :) The way that I see it at least is that as you say, it's all about context. We're ingesting context from as many sources as possible in order to be able to answer the question: Which Contact should receive which message at what time for which reason? The other context that is very important is the playbook that you as the user provides that describes what your goals are. So the full combination of all of these dimensions determine the best answer to your question.
@andefred Thanks for the insights! Excited to see how you continue refining this!
@eric_lilja appreciate the insights! Conversation analysis sounds like a strong way to spot a sale and looking forward to seeing it in action!
Andsend has been a game-changer for my workflow! It makes networking effortless in different ways, and the AI-powered message suggestions save me so much time. Andsend helps you find new clients and keep track of follow-ups, making it incredibly easy to use while keeping everything organized.
Since using Andsend, I’ve revived old leads, reconnected with past clients, and even closed new deals. On top of that, it has significantly streamlined my networking outreach. Highly recommend!

@kevin_houston3 Thx, just keep hitting us with insights :)
Recap
The LinkedIn integration process is very smooth; combining LinkedIn messages with CRM is a great idea. I've already started trying it out.

@zhiqi_shi Great to hear! Just reach out in the support chat bubble if you've got any questions. What value are you hoping most to get out of Andsend?
I find it highly impressive that this tool assists in maintaining effective connections on LinkedIn. I will try it and let you know how it goes!Congrats on the launch !🎉

@kay_arkain Thank you Kay! Happy you like that part. We've built that because we believe a lot of opportunities are already in your network. Would love to get your feedback once you've tried it. Especially the "inside network recommendations" and our "message generation" is something we've been working to improve lately and would live to get input on from new users :D
Looks cool! keeping my eyes on this 👀

@bjorn_modee Thanks Björn! 😃

Congrats on the launch! It sounds like Andsend is tackling a common pain point with networking and sales - making it easier to leverage existing connections effectively.

@mikita_aliaksandrovich Thanks Mikita! Definitely. Personally I love to see the shift now in mindset from "always be closing" to "always be connecting."
Curious, what's your opinions on CRMs in general? Our take here is that those are getting outdated with this shift as well in the rise of much simpler user interfaces than traditional forms and buttons
Ovren
@kevos I believe the shift towards simpler user interfaces makes sense. Traditional CRMs can often feel cumbersome :)
Big fan of the unified inbox concept
Andsend
@manuel_faust Thanks a lot Manuel!
What channels (except linkedin and email) would you like to see in order for it to work even better?
@kevos For my current use case, LinkedIn and email are enough, but in my previous project, having WhatsApp would help a lot.
This is something I can get behind. Sounds like the secret weapon for turning connections into opportunities :))
Don't wanna be the one who missed follow-ups or awkwardly timed messages!
Best of luck w/ the launch to Kevin & Team!!
Andsend
@cranqnow Thanks a lot Sam, glad to hear it resonates!
Anything you're missing that you feel would make the product 'complete'?
Hmmm not sure I'm the best to offer advice on that - I reckon the features are looking pretty damn enticing already!!
