WarmySender - Outreach on autopilot with AI agents
A technical user can build a narrow self-hosted outreach stack (email sending, basic warmup, OAuth LinkedIn automation, sequence engine) using open-source tools, but reproducing WarmySender's verified lead database, warmup peer network, and proxy infrastructure at scale is impractical for an individual—keep paying for those parts or accept the functional gaps.

Every project below is open source and already does this job today. Fork one, self-host it, or take the parts you need - the build prompt further down assumes an empty file, and this is the shortcut past that. Licences differ; check the one on each card before you ship. All WarmySender - Outreach on autopilot with AI agents alternatives, with the arithmetic →
What a replacement has to do
- Find leads -> generate personalized outreach with an LLM -> schedule/send messages -> monitor bounces/replies -> advance multichannel sequence
What it still won’t have
- Large built-in verified B2B lead database covering US/Canada
- Established peer-to-peer warmup network of real mailboxes
- Dedicated proxy pool and LinkedIn account-safety infrastructure
- Polished multichannel UI and deliverability guardrails
- Instagram DM outreach as an integrated per-seat add-on
What remains hard
- Proprietary data
Built-in B2B lead database covering verified contacts across the US and Canada, searchable by industry, location, company size, and job title.

Runnable build prompt
Build a minimal self-hosted outreach platform using Node.js (Express), PostgreSQL, Redis, and a task queue (Bull). Implement: 1) SMTP sending worker with bounce handling and per-domain throttling (use an SMTP provider like SendGrid); 2) an email warmup worker that schedules multi-turn mail threads and marks/pauses mailboxes on high spam rates; 3) LinkedIn OAuth connector and a proxy-backed action runner (actions queued and rate-limited per-account); 4) a multichannel sequence engine supporting conditional branching and a unified inbox UI; 5) a simple leads table and search filters (industry, location, job title). Out of scope: creating a large verified leads dataset, an Instagram automation implementation, and a global proxy marketplace. Include error handling, input validation, unit tests for core logic, and docker-compose for local deployment.

The base comes from the verdict. Everything under it is a check that either happened or did not, and each one is a fact frozen in this record rather than a judgement made at render time - so the same evidence always produces the same number.
