Want 10 conversation starters that do not sound like a bot wrote them, in under 7 minutes?
You do not need more confidence.
You need a repeatable AI research workflow that pulls real context, fast.
The Real Problem: You Are Not "Bad at Outreach," You Are Under-Researched
Generic messages are not a character flaw.
They are a research problem.
- You skim a profile.
- You guess what they care about.
- You type something safe.
- You hope it lands.
This is why we built evyAI around one philosophy: automate your tech, not your relationships.
Your job is to be human.
Your AI research workflow should do the digging.
How evyAI Helps With Fast, Human Context
evyAI includes Networking tab workflows and AI Research with six research agents, so you can gather context, choose an angle, and write an opener that sounds like you.
- AI Research agents: evyAI, ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Perplexity, You.com
- Pick the angle you want, not the angle the model guesses
- Turn research into messages you can actually send
The 7-Minute AI Research Workflow (10 Openers, Zero Cringe)
Here is the play. It is simple on purpose.
This AI research workflow breaks down into five short steps:
- Minute 1: pick the person and the purpose
- Minutes 2 to 5: run six micro-research passes
- Minute 6: generate 10 openers using patterns
- Minute 7: pick 2, personalize, send
PRO TIP: The goal is not to sound smart. The goal is to sound like you paid attention.
Step 1 (Minute 1): Pick the Person and the Outcome
If you do not know why you are messaging, your opener will wobble.
Pick one outcome.
- Start a relationship (no ask)
- Learn their world (one question)
- Offer a helpful resource (one of the five “I’s”)
- Invite them into something (low friction)
- Explore a meeting (only if warmth exists)
This is the difference between prospecting and random networking.

How evyAI Helps With Picking the Right Target
Start inside the Networking tab.
- Work from a list you already care about
- Stay consistent with the “5 conversations a day” habit
- Keep your actions human, not spammy
If you want the habit loop, this pairs perfectly with 5 Conversations a Day: The Post-Engage-Message-Connect Loop That Compounds in 30 Days.
Step 2 (Minutes 2 to 5): Use 6 Research Agents Like a Panel, Not a Roulette Wheel
Most people use one AI and accept the first draft.
This AI research workflow uses six agents for six different jobs.
- One agent for database context
- Two agents for interpretation
- Two agents for current web signals
- One agent for punchy phrasing and variants
Same person.
Same goal.
Different lenses.
How evyAI Helps With Running Multi-Agent AI Research Workflow
evyAI AI Research includes six agents: evyAI, ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Perplexity, You.com.
You are not stuck with one “voice” or one bias.
You can triangulate, which is what makes this an actual AI research workflow instead of a single-prompt guess.
Step 3: The Exact 6-Agent Prompts (Copy, Paste, Run)
Run these fast.
Do not overthink it.
- Agent 1, evyAI: “Summarize what this person does, who they help, and 5 specific conversation angles based on their profile and company.”
- Agent 2, ChatGPT: “Pull 5 non-obvious hypotheses about what they might care about professionally, then give 5 questions to test those hypotheses in a DM.”
- Agent 3, Claude: “Rewrite those questions so they feel warm, curious, and human. No buzzwords. Keep each under 22 words.”
- Agent 4, Grok: “Give me 5 spicy, playful openers that are still professional. Avoid generic compliments.”
- Agent 5, Perplexity: “Find one recent signal: a podcast, article, interview, or product update. Summarize in 2 sentences and suggest one thoughtful question.”
- Agent 6, You.com: “Find 3 credible resources relevant to their niche. Summarize each in one line and suggest who would benefit.”
PRO TIP: You do not need perfect info. You need one real hook plus one real question.
Step 4 (Minute 6): Turn Research Into 10 Starters Using 5 Patterns
Now you convert context into openers.
Use patterns so you are not reinventing the wheel every time you run this AI research workflow.
- Signal + question: “Saw X, curious about Y.”
- Micro-contrast: “Most people do A, you seem to do B, why?”
- Specific curiosity: “How do you think about X when Y happens?”
- Resource gift: “This made me think of you, want it?”
- Identity acknowledgement: “You seem to be building X kind of thing, what prompted that shift?”
How evyAI Helps With Writing in Your Voice (Not the AI’s Voice)
Use Styles and Personas so your openers match how you actually talk.
- Styles help you control tone and formatting
- Personas help you control point of view and role
- Basic includes 1 persona and 1 style, Premium includes 10 of each, Pro includes unlimited
If you want the simplest explanation of the difference, read Styles vs Personas: 2 Ways to Customize Your AI Content Output in evyAI.
Step 5 (Minute 7): Pick 2, Personalize, Send
Do not send all 10.
Pick the best 2, then do one tiny human edit.
- Add a detail from their profile
- Reference a specific post topic
- Ask one clear question
- Keep it to 1 to 3 sentences
- End with an easy “yes” or “no”
This fits perfectly with “Greeting, Feeding, Meeting.”

EXAMPLES: 10 Copy-Paste-Ready Conversation Starters (Non-Generic)
Use these as templates.
Swap the bracketed parts with your research.
- “I saw your post about [topic]. When you work with [audience], what’s the hardest part to get them to change first?”
- “Quick question, are you more focused on [outcome A] or [outcome B] this quarter? Your content makes me think it’s [B], but I might be wrong.”
- “You’ve got a very clear angle on [niche]. What are you seeing right now that most people in [industry] are missing?”
- “I noticed you work with [type of client]. Are they asking more about [trend 1] or [trend 2] lately?”
- “This is random, but your approach to [process] feels more ‘systems’ than ‘hustle’. Was there a moment that pushed you that direction?”
- “I listened to/read your [podcast/article] on [topic]. The part about [specific point] stuck with me. How did you arrive at that perspective?”
- “Do you have a strong opinion on [tool/strategy]? I’m collecting real-world takes from people who actually do the work.”
- “I found a resource on [topic] that feels relevant to your audience. Want the link, or would that be noise?”
- “Most [role] I meet optimize for [common metric]. You seem to optimize for [different metric]. What’s the tradeoff you’re comfortable with?”
- “You’re clearly building something in the [category] space. What kind of client is the best fit for you right now, and what kind is a headache?”
