Last week we mentioned Speakoro, and this week we got it done & dusted. We’re launching to a group of friends this week — and hopefully making our first $ from it!
what happened?
🦜 launching speakoro
Introducing speakoro: an automated outbound agent for speakers.
backstory: 2 weeks ago, we started talking to Nathan, a subscriber who also happens to be an international speaker. he told us about a problem that a lot of speakers face when it comes to finding speaking opportunities, which was this really manual process of reaching out to conference organizers — and wondered if we might have a way to automate bits of it using AI.
turns out — we could do a whole lot more than just automate a few bits of it. We automated the entire thing!
like… hundreds of hours of work.
and just like that, what was previously the suckiest part of any speakers job — painstakingly finding events, and reaching out individually to organizers: POOF, gone!
..but, while we were able to whip up a proof of concept in just a few hours, getting the end to end flow together, and polishing it took a whole lot of time. in fact, all the time we’d allocated for AI project hacking last week (7 hours, and then some!).
Still, i’m glad we did — and I really like how it turned out.
📱 autodial approved!
we got so pre-occupied with speakoro that we didn’t make any headway with autodial. invites still pending, but should be sorted before the next update!
p.s. AI makes it easier than ever to build projects, but you still have to figure out how to sell them. That’s what this series is about. If you know someone who’d enjoy watching us stumble through that part, forward them this link → journey.yaz.in
see you next week,
