Sailaco — The Complete Guide
The agent that rotates between cities, finds businesses with no website, and drafts outreach — but sends only with your approval
The sales pipeline is the most worn-out, tedious work in a small business: finding leads, checking who's already been contacted, writing the first outreach. Sailaco is the agent that takes that work off your hands. He is male (he/his), chats on Telegram via @Sales_elad_bot and in the 'Rebels' group, and does three things: rotates between cities in Israel (rotation — never gets stuck in one city), finds new businesses with no website (with dedup — never repeats one already found), and drafts an outreach message for each lead. Once a day he sends a lead digest of what he found. But here's the critical part: sending itself is blocked behind a Firewall — Sailaco prepares everything, but an outreach goes out only after human approval with one click. For me (Elad) that's the difference between a 'dangerous spam bot' and a sales assistant you can trust. For you — it's the pattern for any responsible sales automation: the agent does all the worn-out work, the human keeps control of first contact with the client.
What this guide covers
What is Sailaco?
The sales agent that does the top-of-funnel — without touching sending unapproved
Sailaco is the network's Sales/BD agent — the component that handles the top of the sales pipeline: discovery, qualification, and outreach prep. He doesn't 'close deals' (that's a human role) and doesn't send autonomously (that's blocked). What he does do: rotate between cities in Israel, find new businesses with no website, dedup, draft outreach for each one, and send Elad a daily lead digest. He depends on Kaylee for infrastructure and Hermes for research/content. Everything is built so the worn-out work is delegated, but first contact with a client always goes through a human.
City rotation — not getting stuck in one place
Sailaco rotates between cities in Israel to cover a wide market
A common problem in automated lead discovery: the agent exhausts one city and then 'gets stuck' — repeating the same businesses over and over. Sailaco solves it with rotation: he systematically moves between cities in Israel, so each round he works fresh territory. That ensures broad coverage over time instead of over-mining a single area, and prevents the 'same 20 leads every day' effect.
Lead discovery + dedup — new businesses only
Finds businesses with no website, and cleans out anyone already found
Sailaco's core is lead_intake: finding businesses with no website — exactly the target audience for a site builder. But discovery without cleaning is worthless: an agent that returns the same 50 businesses every run just wastes time. So every lead goes through dedup: Sailaco checks against the existing list and returns only new businesses not found before. That way the daily digest is always 'what's new', not 'what you've already seen'.
Outreach draft — prepares, doesn't send
A tailored initial outreach is written for each lead — ready for approval
outreach_draft is where Sailaco turns a list of names into real value: for each lead he writes an initial outreach draft — short, relevant, and tailored to the specific business. The draft is exactly that — a draft. It is not sent. It's presented to Elad as part of the digest, and he can edit, approve, or reject. That saves all the time of 'how do I start a letter to a new client', without giving up the human touch that decides a first contact.
Firewall — sending only with human approval
Sailaco prepares everything; outreach goes out only after Elad clicks a button
This is the section that turns Sailaco from 'dangerous' to 'safe'. All his safe actions — discovery, qualification, dedup, draft prep — run on their own. But the one action with an irreversible external consequence — sending outreach to a client — is blocked behind the autonomy stack's Firewall. Outreach goes out only after Elad approves it with one click. That way the agent does 100% of the worn-out work, but first contact with a client — which can damage reputation — stays under full human control.
Integration — how to adopt a sales agent yourself
Start with discovery-only, add drafting and a send-gate gradually
As in every guide — don't build the full Sailaco on day one. The order: first discovery+dedup (an agent that returns a clean lead list), then outreach drafting (as the list matures), and only then — wiring sending behind a Firewall. Sailaco sits on the autonomy stack (as an endpoint), depends on Kaylee for infra and Hermes for research, and is coordinated via the network protocol. He's the agent that turns 'I need to find clients' into 'here's a list ready for approval' — without risking the reputation.
