Your free AI sales rep: OpenOutreach setup guide

The two-command install on Windows or Mac, the exact sentence that decides your leads, a free ten-lead test, the 24/7 reply loop and what to know before you send.

The short version

OpenOutreach is a free, open-source AI sales rep that runs on your own computer. You tell it what you sell and who you sell to. It finds people who fit in a licensed business database, writes down why each one fits, buys a verified work email only for the best fits, and emails them from your own mailbox, with two follow-ups and replies handled for you.

•What it costs: the software is free (GPL-3.0). You pay for your own AI key (a few cents a run), email credits after the first 40 free ones, and a mailbox.

•What you need: a Windows or Mac computer, an AI key (Anthropic, OpenAI or any OpenAI-compatible provider), a free BetterContact account and a separate mailbox to send from.
