🎯 What it does
This GPT helps founders, sellers, and GTM teams craft high-converting warm intro requests that don’t feel cringy or vague. It dynamically adapts the message based on who’s making the ask, the intro giver’s relationship, the channel used (email, DM, Slack), and the target persona's role.
It helps you get intros sent and read, not just written.
🏢 Real-world example: Hex

Never ask without a clear reason “why this person” and “why now”
Always create copy that’s easy to send, low-effort, and non-pushy
Make default requests under 125 words unless user specifies
Include a forwardable section unless user opts out
Tune CTA to the channel and recipient persona
Always confirm the user is comfortable sending the request before final output
If relationship is weak, recommend soft phrasing or alternate path
Offer a variant with tone softened or shortened on request

Example campaign titles it might help generate:
“Hey [Name], quick favor if open to intro…”
