Tool that generates B2B sales briefs from URLs, feedback?


Hi HN,

I'm working on a tool that automatically creates sales briefs for B2B outreach.

You paste in a company name or website, and it generates a short, strategic brief: - Company summary - Likely pain points - Talking points - Suggested outreach message - Objection handling

It’s built on top of a research agent, with some modifications for structured output.

My goal is to make high-quality, personalized outreach easier for solo founders, SDRs, and agencies, not spam at scale.

I’d love feedback from anyone who’s: - Done B2B sales manually - Built AI wrappers before - Curious about workflow automation

Questions I’m thinking about: - Is this too niche or just focused enough? - Would you want it as a Chrome extension, web app, or CRM plugin? - Any red flags I’m not seeing?

Thanks for reading and happy to share demo if useful.

I think the issue you're overlooking is: what happens to your product if model providers further enhance their capabilities?

To be honest, I once had a similar idea—to build a system like this. But I gradually realized that model providers are becoming increasingly powerful, and they’re even venturing into application development themselves, not just focusing on the models. This makes anyone building applications on top of LLMs seriously consider whether the model providers might eventually replace them and do a better job.

I can even give you what I think is a very representative example: Manus. You can’t possibly not know this product. But now, both OpenAI and Google are developing their own full-featured agents. If Manus can’t come up with new ideas, I think they might be in serious trouble.
