Creator and commerce decision

Snippet

A capable developer can build the narrow outreach workflow (profile, match, generate, send, triage), but the vendor value relies on curated brand relationships, representation services, and tuned templates that are not reproduced by a small self-build; full parity would require significant dataset and operations.

No open-source build does this yet

Nothing published replaces this one, so a replacement starts from an empty file. Here is what it would have to cover.

What a replacement has to do

  • Ingest creator content and audience metrics → match creators to brands → generate personalized pitch emails in the creator's voice → send via creator's Gmail → monitor inbox and triage replies → surface pipeline in a dashboard.

What it still won’t have

  • Curated brand relationships and any proprietary brand database
  • The vendor's historical deal data and performance-optimized pitch templates
  • Managed representation option (commission-based team service)
  • Personal onboarding support described on the site

What remains hard

  • Product polish and ongoing maintenance

Runnable build prompt

Not run yet
Build a minimal self-hosted AI-assisted creator outreach app using: Node.js + Express backend, PostgreSQL, simple React frontend, OpenAI-compatible LLM API (or similar) for generation, and Gmail API for sending/receiving. Core features in scope: 1) ingest and store creator posts/metrics (manual CSV upload + optional social token placeholders), 2) compute basic creator profile (follower counts, engagement rates, topical embeddings), 3) brand dataset import and nearest-neighbor matching, 4) generate personalized pitch emails from prompt templates and per-creator voice overrides, 5) send emails via Gmail OAuth and record delivery status, 6) poll Gmail for replies and classify/triage threads, 7) a simple dashboard showing pipeline and sent pitches. Out of scope: building or curating a large proprietary brand database, managed human representation, and advanced analytics dashboards. Include error handling for API failures, OAuth refresh handling, and unit/integration tests for core flows (ingest → generate → send → triage).
