AI versus Marshy - Pipedream: A No-Code Tool

I’m going to dive into a no-code tool called Pipedream, but before I do, let’s take a step back and talk about what’s been going on in the world of AI. You might have heard about OpenAI’s CEO, Sam Altman, being sacked and then reinstated, which has been making headlines. But what’s interesting is how this relates to the development of AI and its potential impact on humanity. With that in mind, let’s take a look at Pipedream and how it can help us automate tasks and streamline our workflows. Pipedream connects to all of your software and enables you to fine tune and execute things in a very precise level of detail. I’ll colour it with an example: I’ve been testing cold outreach in the month of November for lead generation. My goal in November hasn’t been to get leads, it’s to push through the resistance I’ve got to doing it and beat it through sheer force of will. I aimed for 100 emails and follow-ups for this month and have very deliberately been doing it manually. Finding the right person at a software company. Getting their email Crafting a thoughtful email with what I can help with Following up with more help etc. Doing this so manually has been slow, but it has built up my confidence in doing it, and a byproduct has been coming up with 6-7 different entry points with which I can help (a competitive review, a sweep of their ads and feedback, etc.) Because Pipedream can connect to nearly all of the things and do it with nuance, this is a process I can build (and will build a version of) after November. Scan list and find name Browse the web to find any press/information about them Screenshot their companies landing page Screenshot snaps of any advertising they’re currently doing on Google, LinkedIn, or FB Put all this information into Airtable Scan a table of potential entry points (competitive review, landing page feedback etc.) Scanning previous emails sent of this nature, draft a similar email with an approach to send in the same language Prospecting process done for you The benefit of committing to manual first reaps unexpected rewards later.
