These AI Marketing Agents Get You Customers

These AI Marketing Agents Get You Customers

Author: Greg Isenberg August 5, 2026 Duration: 43:59
I bring Cody Schneider back on the show to build two marketing agents end to end, live. The first one monitors LinkedIn posts from creators in your category, scrapes everyone who engages, waterfalls those profiles into emails and phone numbers, and then runs cold email and LinkedIn DMs with an agent managing the replies. The second one turns internal conversations, sales calls, and podcast transcripts into a daily organic LinkedIn content engine across an entire team. Cody names every tool in the stack, shares the real infrastructure costs, and shows the actual terminal commands he runs in Claude Code. By the end you have two systems you can go set up today for your startup. Timestamps 00:00 – Intro 02:27 – Agent Number One: Cold Outbound Agent 04:26 – Finding Creators in Your Category on LinkedIn 09:09 – Apify Explained and the API Maestro Actors 10:59 – Extracting Engagers Live in Claude Code 12:59 – Agent Versus Automation 15:45 – Waterfall Enrichment: GitLeads, Apollo, Origami 17:13 – Compliance, Data Brokers, and What Stays Legal 21:40 – Waterfall Enrichment: Million Verifier and LeadMagic 25:38 – The Cold Outbound Infrastructure 28:33 – Software Factories and Marketing as Code 31:41 – Agent Number Two: The Organic LinkedIn Engine 39:34 – Earned Media Math at $22 CPM 42:31 – Closing Thoughts Key Points LinkedIn engagement is a hand raise, so it beats firmographics as a targeting signal. Ten to twenty source accounts give you roughly 80% surface area coverage of an industry. Waterfall enrichment moves cheapest to most expensive: GitLeads, then Apollo, then Origami or Prospeo. Roughly $200 a month covers sending software plus inboxes for about 10,000 cold emails. An agent here is plain code on a cron job with an LLM attached where judgment is needed. Organic content works best when it starts from real human source material like calls, Slack, and transcripts.

Greg Isenberg, the CEO of Late Checkout who has previously advised platforms like Reddit and TikTok, hosts a twice-weekly conversation designed to spark entrepreneurial thinking. The Startup Ideas Podcast is less about dry business theory and more about opening a window into the process of identifying opportunities. Each episode serves as a catalyst, presenting listeners with actionable concepts and the reasoning behind them. You'll hear Greg dissect market gaps, consumer behaviors, and emerging trends, translating them into tangible ideas for potential ventures. The aim is to build a consistent habit of creative exploration, pushing beyond the initial "what if" to consider the "how" and "why." This podcast functions as a regular dose of inspiration for anyone feeling stuck in a rut or simply curious about the mechanics of building something new. It’s a resource for aspiring founders, side-hustlers, and innovators who appreciate seeing the blueprint before the ground is broken. Tuning in means joining a forward-thinking dialogue where the next big idea might just click into place.
