Hi Dana, I saw Westbrook just took on the Maple Court townhomes. Who handles grounds for the new sites today? We maintain six HOA properties nearby and could quote it this week.
Thanks for connecting, Jordan! Saw Brightline is adding two new office parks this year. How are you handling grounds for those sites so far?

What is an AI co-founder?
An AI co-founder is an AI agent that takes on the growth work a business partner would usually own: marketing, prospecting, follow-up, and keeping up with conversations. Parallel AI’s Co-Founder does that work every day on the accounts you connect, and nothing goes out until you approve it. It can also build your marketing website and a full web or mobile app. You keep the judgment. It does the writing, the research, the building, and the sending.
Built for owners who are great at the work, not at marketing it.
A day with your co-founder
You spend five minutes. It does the rest.
Here’s what a normal day looks like once your AI co-founder is running.
- Every day
Your queue is ready
During business hours, your co-founder reads its notes, checks your inbox and LinkedIn, researches what’s happening in your industry, and prepares the day’s work: a blog article, a post for each social account, openers for new leads, follow-ups, and reply drafts.
- Five minutes
You swipe through it
Each item is a card you can read in seconds. Swipe right to approve, left to skip. Want a change? Approve with a note like “make it shorter” or “mention our spring discount”, and your co-founder follows it.
- Right away
Approved work goes out
The moment you approve, your co-founder publishes the post, sends the email from your own mailbox, or sends the LinkedIn request. Everything it does is recorded in Activity.
- Through the week
Nobody falls through the cracks
When a lead hasn’t replied in three days, a follow-up shows up in your queue. When someone accepts your LinkedIn invite, it’s ready with a thank-you that opens the conversation. When a customer writes in, a reply is already drafted.
- Every run
It gets better at your business
Your co-founder keeps notes on your customers and preferences, a plan for what’s next, and a log of everything it has done. Skip something and tell it why, and it won’t propose anything like it again.
Every day
Four jobs your AI co‑founder does for you.
The growth work that slips when you’re busy serving customers. Your co-founder picks it up every day and never forgets where it left off.
Publishes content
- One blog article for your website, written to help your ideal customers find you in search.
- One post for each connected LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram account.
- Uses web research and news for timely angles, and never repeats a topic.
Finds customers
- Searches for people who match your ideal customer profile.
- Writes a short, specific opener for each one, by email or as a LinkedIn connection request.
- Plain text, one easy question, no links. Never the same person twice.
Follows up
- Proposes a follow-up when a lead hasn’t replied after three days.
- Up to two follow-ups, each with one new reason to reply.
- On LinkedIn, it opens the conversation as soon as someone accepts your invite.
Answers messages
- Reads new email and LinkedIn messages.
- Drafts a reply to every message that needs an answer.
- Skips newsletters, notifications, and anything that needs no reply.
LinkedIn outreach
Connection requests and DMs, written for you.
Connect your LinkedIn account and your AI co-founder works your network like a dedicated SDR. It finds the right people, asks to connect with a personal note, and starts the conversation the moment they accept. You approve every request and message before it goes out.
| Connection requests | A personal note for each person who matches your ideal customer, within LinkedIn’s 300-character limit. |
|---|---|
| First message | When someone accepts, a thank-you DM that opens the conversation is ready in your queue. |
| Follow-up DMs | No reply after three days? Up to two follow-up messages, each with a new reason to respond. |
| Reply drafts | It reads your LinkedIn messages and drafts a reply to every conversation that needs one. |
| Your own account | Everything is sent from your LinkedIn profile, one action at a time, within a daily per-account limit. |

Beyond the daily queue
Your co-founder builds, too.
A real co-founder doesn’t just market the business. Describe what you need in plain English and your AI co-founder builds it with you, then keeps improving it as you give feedback.
Beautiful yards, without the weekend work.
Get a quoteMarketing website
A website that sells for you.
Tell your co-founder about your business and it builds your marketing website: pages, copy, and design in your brand. Publish it on your own domain, and the articles it writes every day have a home that brings in search traffic.
- Home, services, about, and contact pages
- Your brand colors, fonts, and voice
- Edit any page by chatting about the change
- Publish on your own custom domain
Web and mobile apps
The app your business needs.
Need a client portal, a booking app, an internal tool, or a product of your own? Describe it and your co-founder builds a full web or mobile app, with real screens, user logins, and your data, ready to share with your team or your customers.
- Client portals, booking tools, and dashboards
- User logins for your customers or team
- Works in the browser and on phones
- Iterate by describing what to change

Email · LinkedInHow it works
Connect your accounts. Approve the work.
Setup is a five-step guide: meet your co-founder, connect email, social, and your blog, then launch.
Connect your accounts
- The mailbox it sends from
- The social profiles and pages it posts to
- Your blog, plus Search Console and Analytics
It gets to work
- Starts on its first batch as soon as you launch
- Runs once a day after that
- Only works on the accounts you connected
You approve or skip
- Every post, email, and message arrives as a card
- Swipe right to approve, left to skip
- Add feedback and it follows it
It carries it out
- Approved work is sent or published right away
- Every action is recorded in Activity
- It learns from what you skip and why
It remembers
A co-founder with a working memory.
Most AI tools start from zero every time. Your co-founder keeps its own working notes, so every day picks up exactly where yesterday left off.
| Notes | What it has learned about your business, your customers, and your preferences, including why you skipped things. |
|---|---|
| Plan | The themes, campaigns, and lead segments it’s working through, and what comes next. |
| Log | A dated line for everything it proposed or carried out, and how it went. |

You stay in control
A co-founder that asks first.
Handing your brand to an AI is a big step. Your co-founder is designed so it never has to be a leap of faith.
| Nothing goes out unapproved | Every post, opener, follow-up, and reply waits in your approval queue until you say yes. |
|---|---|
| Your voice, your facts | It writes in your business’s voice and never invents customers, results, or offers. |
| Your accounts | Emails come from your own mailbox and posts from your own pages, so replies come straight to you. |
| It learns from skips | When you skip something, it reads the reason and stops proposing work like it. |
| Built-in cost control | It stops proposing once 20 items are waiting, so an unattended queue doesn’t keep using credits. |

AI co‑founder questions.
What does an AI co-founder actually do?
Parallel AI’s Co-Founder runs the day-to-day of your sales and marketing. It proposes blog articles and social posts, finds people who match your ideal customer and reaches out by email or LinkedIn connection request and DM, follows up with leads who haven’t replied, and drafts replies to messages that need an answer. It can also build your marketing website and a full web or mobile app.
Can an AI really be a co-founder?
It won’t replace your judgment, and it doesn’t need to. It takes on the work a growth-minded co-founder would own day to day, like content, prospecting, follow-up, and building, and leaves every decision to you through the approval queue.
Do I have to give it equity?
No. Your AI co-founder is part of your Parallel AI plan. There’s no equity, salary, or vesting schedule.
Will it send anything without my approval?
No. Everything it proposes waits in your approval queue. Only work you approve is sent or published, and it goes out as soon as you approve it.
How does swiping work?
Each piece of work appears as a card. Swipe right to approve it, or left to skip it. You can also approve with feedback, or tell it why you skipped, and it uses that next time.
Does it sound like me?
It writes in your business’s voice and keeps everything specific to what you sell and who buys it. When you approve with feedback or skip with a reason, it takes that into account in future work.
Can it build my website?
Yes. Describe your business and your co-founder builds a marketing website with your pages, copy, and brand. You can publish it on your own domain and use it as the blog your co-founder writes for.
Can it build a mobile or web app?
Yes. Describe the app you need, such as a client portal, booking tool, or internal dashboard, and your co-founder builds a full web or mobile app with screens, user logins, and your data. Keep refining it by describing what to change.
Does it send LinkedIn connection requests and direct messages?
Yes. Connect your LinkedIn account and your co-founder sends connection requests with a personal note to people who match your ideal customer, messages them as soon as they accept, follows up by DM when they go quiet, and drafts replies to your LinkedIn conversations. Every request and message waits for your approval and is sent from your own profile.
Where does it find leads?
It searches Parallel AI’s built-in lead data for people who match your ideal customer profile, then reaches out by email when there is a verified work email, or on LinkedIn when you have connected a LinkedIn outreach account.
Do I need every account connected?
No. Connect at least one account and your co-founder works only on what you connected. With only a blog, it writes articles. With only a mailbox, it handles outreach, follow-ups, and replies.
How much does it cost?
Your co-founder uses the credits included in your Parallel AI plan. It pauses proposing new work once 20 items are waiting for approval, so it doesn’t keep spending while you’re away. See pricing for plan details.
