Long-ish post but I’m just thinking out loud here:
When you’re working in content, you’re always looking for expert insights for your blogs, whitepapers etc. but there are many roadblocks (finding the right person, constant follow ups, too busy to collaborate) and even on platforms like HARO, Qwoted etc. you get AI generated replies.
What if there’s a tool that automatically creates a list of industry experts you can reach out to, along with extracting their contact info by using AI (analysing their LI, web presence etc.). The tool can also create a personalised email outreach sequence to avoid multiple follow ups too. You can eliminate guesswork and reach out to people who can actually provide meaningful contributions to your piece.
And for SMEs, instead of scheduling long meetings they can just receive a form with focused questions relevant to the topic where they just respond via text or voice notes. It saves time and ensures fruitful collabs.
Is this an idea worth exploring or should this just be left alone as a 2am thought? Honest opinions pls, be as brutal as y’all can be :)
