Hey Product Hunt 👋

Leo here, maker of LeadAce. I run a small company in Tokyo. LeadAce is a Claude Code plugin that runs outbound sales for you. Some context on why we built it:

I am bad at cold email. I tried several "AI SDR" tools, and the emails they wrote were not something I could send. Most of them put one LinkedIn fact into a template and call it personalization. So we built an agent that reads the prospect's website first, and then writes the email.

Some details:

• It runs as a Claude Code plugin, not as a separate dashboard. If you already work in Claude Code, there is no new app to check every day.

• Emails are sent from your own Gmail. There is no shared warmup pool, so your sending reputation stays separate from other users.

• The backend is open source (modified Apache 2.0). You can use the hosted version at app.leadace.ai, or self-host on your own Cloudflare + Supabase (Cloudflare Workers Paid plan, about $5/mo).

• Free tier: 5 outreach actions per day (100 lifetime cap), 500 prospects, no card needed.

• It is a Public Beta. Recipients in US / CA / JP are supported today. UK and AU are next on the compliance roadmap. EU stays blocked until we can support it correctly.

• When a prospect says no, the reason comes back as structured data (too expensive / wrong timing / not the decision maker / missing feature), attached to the company. The next round of targeting uses that data.

To be honest about the limits:

• It is not a volume tool. It writes each email one by one, so it is slower than mass mailers.

• It is a beta, so there is no enterprise-grade SLA yet.

• It is not for spammers. Do-not-contact and unsubscribe handling are built in, and you cannot turn them off.

I would love feedback on:

• Was anything confusing in the /leadace onboarding?

• What would make you choose self-host instead of the hosted version?

• What was the first thing you tried that did not work?

I will be in the comments all day. Thank you 🙏
