A first line worth sending, for every prospect
Your AI opens each one in your own logged-in LinkedIn, reads what they’re actually working on, and hands you the opener. You send it yourself. It never sends anything for you.
Research each prospect and draft an opener tied to a real problem
Use Actionbook to prospect for me on LinkedIn. Find 5 VPs of Engineering at Series B startups, open each profile in my logged-in session, and read their recent activity. For each, draft a short opener in my voice that speaks to a problem they’re actually dealing with — don’t send or connect, just write the copy. Give me a table of who you found and the problem it ties to, and put the drafts in openers.csv for me to review and send myself.
ChatGPT
Here’s my plan:
- 1.Search LinkedIn for VPs of Engineering at Series B startups, in your session.
- 2.Open each profile and read their recent posts and activity.
- 3.Find the one problem each seems to be wrestling with.
- 4.Draft an opener in your voice that names that problem, not flattery.
- 5.Collect them in openers.csv for you to review and send — nothing is sent for you.
Starting now.
Here’s the batch. openers.csv is ready — the copy’s yours to send.

An opener that sounds like you did the work, because it did.

Writes “I saw your post” flattery buyers delete in two seconds.
Ties what they actually posted to a problem worth a reply.
Sounds like every other AI email, so it reads as spam.
Drafts in your voice, learned from how you actually write.
Leaves you digging through profiles to find the angle yourself.
Reads the activity in your own logged-in LinkedIn and hands you the draft. You send it, your way.
Research anyone on LinkedIn.
Open like you mean it.
Same job, sharper angles. Each reads your own logged-in LinkedIn and hands back a draft — you stay in charge of every send.
Open one prospect on a real problem
Use Actionbook to open [prospect]’s profile in my logged-in LinkedIn, read their recent posts and activity, and find the one problem they seem to be wrestling with. Draft a short opener in my voice that speaks to that problem, and show me the observation it’s built on so I can tweak it and send it myself.
Open on a warm angle, not a cold line
Use Actionbook to research [prospect] in my logged-in LinkedIn for any warm path: a shared connection, a former colleague, the same school or community, or common ground in what we both post about. Tell me the warmest angle you found and draft an opener that leans on it, so it lands as “we’re connected” rather than cold.
Make it sound like you, not AI
Use Actionbook to read a few of my own recent LinkedIn messages and posts to learn how I actually write, then draft an opener for [prospect] in that voice. Keep my phrasing and length, skip the AI tells, and show me both the draft and the prospect detail it’s built on.
