Cold Call sales reachout - AI based process optimization

A food startup had a plan to run a cold calling campaign to importers in Europe. They had a list of companies that needed to be researched and contact details from public facing information needed to be fetched.

The usual way would be to hire a contractor to manually research the companies and send out emails. I helped in using n8n to build AI agents to do the research online, populate an excel sheet with details and do the first reach out.

The process that would normally have taken 15 business days was done in 6 hours at a running cost of less than $5. The AI agent compared to a human had 25% more messages opened and replied.

Trading in futures - an AI based approach - Due diligence

Retail trading is restricted by the size of capital and the hours a trader can put into sitting in front of the desk.

With the advent of Machine Learning models and thereafter LLM's provides an opportunity to build AI based trading bots that can both trade autonomously or provide valuable information on the potential direction of the trade, saving countless hours on the desk.

I did due diligence in understanding the various Machine Learning approaches to build time series data prediction and fine tuning LLM's with widely available financial data from the futures segment of S&P/Nasdaq. The approach was to segment and bracket data using a test strategy to help build the model. The project is currently ongoing.
