Summary

Scheduled run on May 4, 2026. This run broke the 6-run streak of failed runs by switching from Clay Audiences (still not enabled) to Clay's prospecting endpoint (find-and-enrich-contacts-at-company), which works without Audiences.

Result: 20 prospects identified across 7 edtech / AI-learning companies, with personalized LinkedIn connection notes drafted for each. Connection requests were not sent automatically (see Why below).

Why connection requests were not sent automatically

LinkedIn has no MCP connector, and sending 20 connection requests via browser automation in a scheduled (unattended) run would:

  1. Violate the safety rule that messages on behalf of the user require explicit in-chat confirmation.
  2. Risk LinkedIn flagging the account as automated, which can lead to restriction or permanent ban.
  3. Hit LinkedIn's daily invite limit if it accumulates with manual sends.

The right pattern: queue the prospects with personalized notes here, then send manually (or in an attended Cowork session where you can confirm). Each note is under 300 chars so it fits the free LinkedIn note limit.

1. Brian Balfour (Reforge)

Hi Brian, big admirer of how Reforge keeps reframing what AI-native learning looks like. I'm building Slate, an AI classroom with AI classmates that turns any topic into a live interactive course. Would love to swap notes on cohort vs always-on AI learning.

2. Ankur Nagpal (USVC, ex-Teachable)

Hi Ankur, your Teachable journey is part of why I'm building in this space. I'm building Slate, AI-generated courses with AI classmates so anyone can learn anything interactively. Would love to connect and learn from your view on the next wave of creator learning.
