Build Your Personal AI Bot: Outreach That Sounds Like You. Uses Muse, Dots, Grok

Choose a personal AI agent safely. Use it to write outreach that people want.

Personal AI bots are now everywhere. xAI calls its agents teammates. Meta lets you name your Muse. OpenAI put Dots inside ChatGPT. Manus gives each agent its own email address.

You'll learn about:

  • Dots | ChatGPT

  • Grok Bot | xAI

  • Muse | Meta

  • Bot Mode | Hermes Agent

  • Cue | Manus

In this hands-on workshop, we'll start by comparing the new personal AI bots. You see what each one does, what it can access, and who it suits best. Then you pick one.

In the second half, we build your agent together, showing you how to build an agent for authentic outreach. It uses your real network. It finds the people worth contacting and drafts a message for each. You then make the final edit.

What we're solving for: Most people use these tools to send more messages. People hate that. They delete mass outreach. They answer messages that show you know them.

You need one input: your LinkedIn connections file.

You will leave with a working agent, a safe setup, and a list of personal messages ready to review.
