WorkingVendor case studyVendor ↗

Problem

Apollo runs a sales engagement platform used by thousands of sales teams. Reps needed outbound messages that were personal to each prospect without hours of manual writing.

Approach

Apollo built Claude 3.5 Haiku into its platform in four places. It drafts outbound emails and follow-ups, combines Apollo data with outside signals such as news and hiring, matches each rep's voice and tone, and fills its template library with generated content.
