@gingerkidney Great question! influencer sourcing is showing the strongest retention so far. Once they start using it to find and vet creators faster, it usually becomes a repeat workflow. Lead gen and recruiting are picking up quickly too, but creator sourcing is the stickiest use case right now.

The "personalized outreach" piece is where most of these tools fall apart. What's the actual personalization signal — is it pulling context from their content, recent posts, job changes? Or is it template-filling with name/company/title? The gap between those two is the difference between a reply and a spam folder.
@sounak_bhattacharya Totally agree — that gap is everything. We’re not just template-filling. Personalization comes from signals like recent content, activity, and context around the person. Still improving here, but the goal is exactly what you said: something that feels considered, not spammy.

For me the best part of this category is prioritization. A ranked list of prospects with reasons makes the lead generation workflow much easier than a raw directory dump.
The useful part here is the context layer. For finding potential partners, knowing why someone matches is way more valuable than getting 500 loose results.
@kero_lau Totally. We're trying to make the 'why this partner' part obvious, not just return a long list.

This feels closer to a working research assistant for researching accounts before outreach than a traditional database. Nice if you're tired of stitching together LinkedIn, company pages, and scattered notes by hand.
@andy2026 Exactly — that’s the goal. We’re less focused on being a static database and more on acting like a working research assistant that pulls context together before outreach

Feels like this could pair really well with founders doing outbound for the first time . Lower barrier to getting started.

@edward_curtis1 Totally — that was exactly one of the use cases we had in mind. Lowering the barrier to get started with outbound.
@edward_curtis1 That’s one of the key goals. Lessie is meant to make outbound approachable, even for first-time founders, by handling the heavy lifting so you can focus on meaningful conversations. Glad it resonates!

I can see this being useful when you're moving fast but still want each email to feel considered.
@clayccc That balance is what we focused on. Lessie helps you move quickly without losing the personal touch, so each outreach still feels thoughtful and relevant.

Just curious, which use case is driving the strongest retention right now: influencer sourcing, lead gen, recruiting, or something else?

@priscilla_o Yes, exactly. Prioritization is a huge part of the value here, not just search volume.
