What’s the “tell” that gives away AI video outreach to you?

Maker here 👋

Honest question for everyone: when you get a “personalized” video pitch in your inbox, what’s the exact moment your brain goes, “oh, this is automated”?

Is it:

• The script structure? Always opens with “Hey [Name], I noticed your company…”

• The eye contact, or lack of it?

• The script feels generic even when your name is in it?

• The background, lighting, or energy?

• Something else entirely?

I’m trying to find every “tell” so we can engineer them out of Outvid.

The whole bet is that AI video outreach is only worth doing if it doesn’t feel like AI video outreach.
