Questions, answered

Will it email prospective clients on its own?

No. Every reply is left as a Gmail draft for you to read and send. Nothing leaves your account, and WebRun never replies inside Dribbble either.

How does it tell an inquiry from a compliment?

It reads the message for signs of a real brief: a project, a budget, a timeline, or a company. Compliments and promotions are skipped, and anything ambiguous is listed for you.

Will the drafts sound like me?

Yes. Give WebRun two or three replies you have already sent and it matches your tone, your rate wording, and your usual next step on every draft.

Put this on autopilot.

Turn it on in minutes - or have our team set it up for you.
