Built and supported here - the way a Emerald business would actually use it.

We've worked with enough operators in Emerald to know that the brief that arrives in our inbox is rarely the brief that ends up shipped. The first thing we do on any AI outreach project is sit with your team for a day before we propose anything.

What AI outreach actually does

Multi-channel outreach run by an AI agent - email, LinkedIn, SMS - that reads like a real person who's actually done their homework. Built for teams who want top-of-funnel growth without burning a BDR on busywork.

  • 01 Channel mix tuned per persona - email-first, LinkedIn-first, or both
  • 02 Reads each prospect's site, LinkedIn, recent posts before writing
  • 03 Real conversation threading - replies feel continuous, not robotic
  • 04 Compliance baked in: NZ Spam Act + global unsubscribe handling

Built on: Claude for message generation LinkedIn / Smartlead / Instantly for delivery Apollo + Clay for enrichment Custom guardrails for tone and compliance

Where Emerald operators actually lose hours.

  • Emerald sits in the Central Highlands where coal and cotton meet, serving both mines and farms out of one small town.
  • Bowen Basin coal, irrigated cotton, grain and the machinery and logistics behind them. Mining procurement and agricultural seasonality pull local businesses in two directions at once.

We work with teams across Emerald: Emerald CBD · Blackwater · Capella · Springsure · Clermont.

How we build AI outreach for a Emerald team.

We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Emerald business, so value lands before the build is finished. Outreach at human quality, machine scale.

The outcome for Emerald teams

If we build the right slice first, Emerald teams feel the difference inside the first month. Replaced a 3-person outreach team for an NZ infrastructure consultancy - 5× the volume, same close rate.

Not your typical AI agency.

Honest about what AI can and cannot do

Ships the one workflow that pays for itself

Hours given back, never the size of the invoice

*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.

How much is not automating costing you?

Nine hours a week of admin is 468 hours a year. With Koala Dynamics, that drops to about 52.

FAQ

What's a typical engagement length for Emerald businesses?

Six to twelve weeks for the build, then a short managed-services month while the system goes from "shipped" to "owned by your team". After that you keep us on retainer if you want, or take it from there yourself.

Are there hidden costs we should plan for?

Three to know about: model/API spend (which we set up under your own account, not ours, so you see and control it), any new SaaS subscriptions we recommend, and your team's time during rollout. We surface all three in the quote so there are no surprises.

Anyone else in this space using AI outreach?

Plenty. Replaced a 3-person outreach team for an NZ infrastructure consultancy - 5× the volume, same close rate. The interesting question is rarely "does it work" - it's "is your team ready to use the output." That's what we'd scope on the call.

Can you work with our existing systems?

Yes. The default AI outreach stack we reach for is Claude for message generation, LinkedIn / Smartlead / Instantly for delivery, Apollo + Clay for enrichment, Custom guardrails for tone and compliance, but we'll bend it around whatever you already run - Xero, HubSpot, Shopify, Cin7, your own in-house apps. The discovery week maps every data source before any build starts.

Worth a conversation?

Even if you don't end up working with us, you'll leave the call knowing what's worth building.
