Hermes Outreach Engine: Build an AI Email Agent for Lead Gen, Verification & Automated Campaigns

The script demonstrates an experimental “Hermes Outreach Engine” built inside a Hermes-based agent operating system to automate email outreach for link building and SEO. It shows an Outreach tab with dashboards for leads, validation, sendability, activity logs, lead generation (finding companies, enriching to real contacts, adding notes, hiding/skipping oversized companies), and campaign management (drafts, sent, bounces, audience selection, previews, draft-mode approvals, pausing/stopping campaigns, and reply tracking). The workflow is described as six parts: define targets, enrich, verify emails via Hunter, filter out large companies, send from a separate agent inbox, and track results. Setup uses Claude Desktop to build the tool and connects Hunter API, a separate inbox, Himalaya for inbox reading/replying, and Google Workspace API, with optional OAuth. The episode ends by promoting access to the agent OS and community training in the AI Profit Boardroom.
