Descriptions:
Greg Isenberg hosts growth operator Cody Schneider for a detailed breakdown of how to build AI marketing agents capable of running automated customer acquisition on autopilot. The episode centers on two end-to-end systems: a LinkedIn engagement scraper that monitors influencer posts, extracts engagers, and enriches their contact data through a waterfall enrichment pipeline using tools like GetLeads, Apollo, Prospeo, and Origami — then feeds that data into outbound cold email and LinkedIn DM campaigns managed by an AI inbox agent.
Schneider walks through the full technical stack including MillionVerifier for email validation and how to wire an agent to manage replies and push prospects toward demo bookings. The underlying strategy targets “hand-raise signals” — people actively engaging with relevant content — rather than traditional demographic targeting, which Schneider argues is collapsing as AI-generated outreach floods every channel. Both systems are built using Codex or Claude Code.
The episode covers compliance considerations for data sourcing, the spectrum from white-hat to gray-area practices, and how to adapt the system for different go-to-market motions. It is squarely aimed at indie founders and vibe-coded startup builders who want customer acquisition running in the background while they focus on product — and want the full tool list with no gatekeeping.
