Meet the Ghost Fields

AI-generated personalization snippets that make every email feel hand-written.

%AI_ICEBREAKER%

A personalized opening line based on the contact's LinkedIn profile, recent posts, or company news.

Example output:

"Saw your post about scaling B2B sales teams—loved your take on hiring for culture fit."

%AI_PITCH_ANGLE%

A custom value proposition tailored to the contact's role, industry, and pain points.

Example output:

"As a VP of Sales, you're probably spending too much time on manual outreach..."

%AI_PS_LINE%

A casual, human P.S. that references something personal or timely about the contact.

Example output:

"P.S. Congrats on the Series B—exciting times ahead!"

Pro tip: Create custom ghost fields with your own prompts. AI_COMPETITOR_MENTION, AI_CASE_STUDY_MATCH—whatever your outreach needs.

We scrape LinkedIn and company websites for personalization data—role, company news, achievements.

3

AI Generation

AI writes personalized content for each ghost field using your prompts and the scraped data.

AC Field Sync

Content is written to the contact's custom fields in AC. Use tags like %AI_ICEBREAKER% in emails.
