The job by hand
Follow-ups live in your head. The candidate who asked for two days, the hiring manager who owes feedback, the take-home that needs a nudge. Miss one and a good candidate goes cold.
The ask
Hello, send every candidate follow-up due today
What comes back
A Google Sheet lands in the Recruiter Follow-up Workspace folder in your Google Drive: Candidate, Role, Last touch, Status and Next follow-up.
| Candidate | Role | Last touch | Status | Next follow-up |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Priya Raghavan | Sep 8 - phone screen done | Sep 13 | Email draft: next-steps note with interview slots (see below) | Ready to send |
| Marco Delgado | Sep 5 - take-home sent | Sep 12 | Email draft: gentle nudge with new deadline, hiring manager cc'd | Ready to send |
| Ana Petrova | Sep 11 - offer discussed | Sep 13 | Follow-up held - she asked for 2 days, due Sep 15 | Snoozed |
Sample data shown. Your workspace fills with your real work.
What it takes over
- Reads the exact inputs and sources you approve.
- Saves the work as a review-ready Google Sheet in the Recruiter Follow-up Workspace folder in Google Drive.
- Shows evidence, unknowns and blocks instead of guessing.
- Prepares the next action and stops at the human gate.
How buying works
- Buy once for $19. Three files arrive:
skill.md,setup-prompt.txtandusage-prompt.txt. - Hand the files to the assistant you already use. It sets the job up on Google, Microsoft or Zoho and tests it on fictional data.
- Approve the setup. It runs the job and stops at every external action for your sign-off.
Where it stops
It does not send, spend, publish, schedule or make a human decision without the exact approval that action needs.
Common questions
Does it send real emails?
Only the ones you approve, and it shows its work. In the demo it sends two follow-ups and holds a third because the candidate asked for two days; you see the reason.
How does it track candidates?
In a Google Sheet with candidate, role, last touch, status and next follow-up date, saved in a Recruiter Follow-up Workspace folder in your Drive.
Will it double-email someone?
No. It works from the tracking sheet's last-touch dates and your cadence rules, not from a fresh guess each morning.

Questions people ask
What does the Follow-up Agent actually do?
It finds every candidate follow-up due today, drafts each email with the context of the last touch, sends the ones you approve and holds the ones with a reason to wait. It prepares review-ready work and stops for your approval before anything is sent, spent, published or scheduled.
Which AI assistants work with the Follow-up Agent?
Any assistant that reads plain-text files: Instinct, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot, Hermes, OpenClaw, Town, Muse and others. You hand it three files - skill.md, setup-prompt.txt and usage-prompt.txt.
Is the Follow-up Agent $19 a subscription?
No. $19 is one-time. You download and keep the three files forever; there is no account and no renewal.
How long does setup take?
About 10 minutes: attach the files, run the setup prompt, approve the fictional-data test. It never touches real work until you approve the sample run.
