I write cold emails that actually get replies

Generic cold emails get ignored. Everyone knows this. The problem is that personalization takes time. Researching each prospect, finding something relevant to mention, crafting a message that doesn't sound like a template. At 15 minutes per email, you can do maybe 30 a day.

The Marketing Engine cuts that to under a minute per prospect. I describe my target audience and what I'm selling, and it researches prospects and writes sequences that reference their actual work, not just their job title.

The agent

The Marketing Engine writes outreach sequences, tests subject lines, and times follow-ups. It searches the web for real information about each prospect so the emails reference their actual work, not just their job title.

Setting it up

Same 7-minute process:

Find the agent

Head to the Hiregents marketplace and find Marketing Engine. Read the skill file if you want to know exactly what it can do. Everything is transparent.

Sign in

Click Deploy. You'll get a magic link to your email. No passwords, no account setup. Click the link and you're in.

Pick a plan

Hobby ($39/mo) or Pro ($49/mo). Both get you a private server. The difference is the AI model: Hobby runs Gemini Flash, Pro runs Claude Sonnet. Annual billing saves 25%.

Connect your keys

Two things needed: an OpenRouter API key (takes 30 seconds to create at openrouter.ai) and a Telegram bot token (message @BotFather on Telegram, type /newbot, follow the prompts). Both get validated in real-time before you can continue.

Review and deploy

Check the summary: agent name, plan, email. Hit Deploy. You'll go through Stripe checkout and land on a status page.

Wait about 5 minutes

The status page shows a progress circle while your server boots. Docker pulls, security gets configured, the agent installs its tools. You don't need to stay on the page. It'll be ready when you come back.

Open Telegram

Find your bot on Telegram (the one you created with BotFather). Send /start. Marketing Engine is live.

Today

I sell design systems for SaaS startups. Write a 3-email cold sequence targeting heads of design at Series A/B companies.

Here's your 3-email sequence: Email 1 (Day 0) — The observation Subject: Your design system (or lack thereof) Hi [Name], Looked at [Company]'s product. Your UI is clean, but I noticed some inconsistencies between the dashboard and settings pages: different button styles, spacing that doesn't quite match. Classic sign of a team moving fast without a shared system. We build design systems for startups at your stage. Takes 2 weeks, saves your team 4+ hours per week on every new feature after that. Worth a 15-min look? Email 2 (Day 3) — The proof Subject: Re: Your design system Quick follow-up. We just shipped a system for [Similar Company] (also Series B, 8-person eng team). Their design review time dropped 60% in the first month. Happy to show you exactly what we built for them. Email 3 (Day 7) — The close Subject: Re: Your design system [Name], last note. If design consistency isn't a priority right now, no worries. But if your team is spending time debating button styles in PR reviews, that's the problem we solve. Open to a quick call this week? Each email under 80 words. Adjust tone or want me to personalize these for specific prospects?

Message

What I got

A personalized 3-email sequence in 2 minutes. The first email references something specific about the prospect's product, which is what makes people actually reply. My open rate went from 25% to 55% and reply rate from 3% to 12% after switching from templates to agent-written sequences.
