The Challenge

AG1’s affiliate recruiting program meant 26,000+ email threads across 40 inboxes, data extraction for 2,000+ creators, and replies needed in every language — a volume that would take 15–20 staff to handle manually, with leads going cold during hours-long response delays.

What Cheerful Ran

  • All 40 Gmail inboxes unified into one workspace with AI status tracking
  • Context-aware replies pre-drafted for one-click send, tuned by 80 custom rules from the AG1 team
  • Intelligent routing: 123 paid requests redirected to the affiliate program, 261 FAQs answered automatically, 45 edge cases escalated to humans
  • 5,000+ Google Sheets updates: names, handles, and opt-in status captured from natural conversation
  • Native replies in German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and more. No translators.
