Reported experience

  1. What they did

    Drew pulls business lists from AI Ark or Apollo, cleans them with Million Verifier, and has Claude keep only companies that fit his offer. Contacts go into a Turso database by campaign. A second Hermes agent, run from Telegram on a spare laptop, finds relevant Facebook group posts and drafts helpful comments. Drew writes his own emails and approves each comment.

  2. How it went

    He reached about 1,000 real subscribers in roughly 80 days with no ad spend. The source gives no per-channel breakdown or reply rates.

  3. Worth knowing

    Hermes ran on a $20 a month OpenAI Codex plan, because Anthropic blocked Claude subscriptions on such agents. Drew also says to run the workflow by hand first.
