What they did

It watches Gmail, extracts and validates leads with OpenAI plus rules, dedupes, stores them in Supabase, assigns agents, and nudges about unanswered leads at 30 minutes, 2 hours and 24 hours. Agents manage leads in natural language on Telegram.

How it went

MIT-licensed with workflows, schema and setup guide.

Worth knowing

The human Send step keeps the AI from emailing clients on its own.
