I'll go first. I’m building Avian - the all-in-one CRM for cold DMs/emails. Most cold DMs don't work because they feel lazy, unoriginal, and like they've been copy pasted. With Avian you enter any name, email, or social media, why you're reaching out to them/goals, and any other context, and it scrapes the web for what the person's doing right now. It writes a personalized cold DM that can be sent in one click. There's also a kanban board with all your Avian email drafts so you can keep all your outreach attempts in one glance.

I'm Jaxson. I started building Avian two months ago because I kept noticing the same problem: cold outreach fails not because of bad writing but because of zero research. People send the same message to everyone and wonder why nobody replies.

Avian fixes that. You drop in any signal: LinkedIn URL, Twitter handle, email, GitHub profile, name, anything. And it searches the web, builds a full personality profile, and generates three personalized message variants in under 60 seconds. Each one references something real and specific about the person.

Beyond message generation it's a full outreach system. Kanban pipeline, multi-touch sequences, reply intelligence, follow-up reminders, analytics, and brand voice context.

I'm 15 and building this in public. Currently pre-launch with a waitlist. Would genuinely love feedback from this community.

(BTW mods, if you think this wouldn’t provide value for the community, feel free to remove.)

I got tired of spending 30 minutes researching someone just to send one decent cold DM.

So I built Avian.

The problem with Cold DMs is that most messages still feel fake.

“Hey [First Name], love what you’re building…” Nobody responds to that anymore.

So Avian does the research for you:

• what someone is building
• what they recently posted
• what they care about
• what makes them relevant to contact

Then it writes outreach that actually feels human instead of copy-pasted AI slop.

Avian is currently in waitlist right now, sign up here: https://avian.sh

Would love feedback!

Not because outreach doesn’t work…

But because everyone optimized for scale instead of relevance.

The average cold DM today feels like it’s:

- AI generated

- mass sent

- fake personalized

- instantly forgettable

Which is weird because the whole point of networking is supposed to be human connection.

That’s actually why I started building Avian.

Instead of helping people send 10,000 messages, we’re trying to make every message feel like it was written specifically for that person.

I genuinely think “warm networking” is going to replace traditional cold outreach over the next few years.

Avian’s currently in waitlist at https://avian.sh so make sure you sign up!

One thing I didn’t expect when building an AI outreach tool: Most people don’t actually want “more automation.” They want better conversations.

The more founders I talk to, the more I realize people are exhausted by fake personalization and AI slop outreach.

Most people send cold DMs that start with: “Hey [First Name], love what you’re building…” and they get no responses.

So we started focusing less on volume and more on relevance.

Instead of generating generic cold emails, Avian researches the person:

- what they’re building

- what they recently posted

- what they care about

Then writes outreach that actually feels contextual.

Been building an AI outreach tool called Avian for the past month and I want to put it to the test publicly.

Here’s the deal. Drop any of the following in the comments:

• A founder you’ve been trying to reach but haven’t figured out the right angle for
• A potential investor, partner, or customer you want to get in front of
• Your own startup and the type of person you’re trying to reach - I’ll write the outreach from your perspective

I’ll research the person with Avian, figure out what they actually care about based on their public presence, and write a cold DM that references something real and specific about them. Not a template. Not “Hey I love your work, would love to connect.” An actual message with a hook that makes sense for that specific human being.

I’ll ll reply directly in the thread with the message.

For context: I’ve been building this in public for the past month. The tool is called Avian. It takes any input (LinkedIn URL, Twitter handle, email, name) researches the person across the web, builds a profile, and generates personalized outreach in under 60 seconds. This post is basically me running it live in the comments so you can see exactly what it produces before deciding if it’s worth trying.

Waitlist is open if you want early access: https://avian.sh

Otherwise just drop a name below and I’ll get to work.

I’ll go first - I’m building Limbo - a tool that intercepts downloads and allows you to make quick decisions about them before they’re auto deleted. I made it because my Downloads folder had two thousand items in it and over 30 GB of storage. With Limbo, all new files are sent to the Limbo, where they can be copied, saved permanently, or deleted instantly.
