What it is
Email Bee is a fork of Busy Bee built after the first run's cold-email attempt failed on sending infrastructure. It builds the half of cold email that is not for sale (the lead list, the copy, the prediction and the auditor) and leaves sending to Smartlead's warmed inboxes. Every campaign is a pre-registered prediction on positive replies, and seven invariants, six enforced in code, keep the agent honest.
The problem
Cold outbound run by an AI agent fails quietly: bounced lists, unverifiable results and copy no human approved.
How it works
- The same Docker-sandboxed Claude Agent SDK tick loop as Busy Bee, retargeted at Apollo, MillionVerifier and Smartlead instead of a compiler.
- No address reaches a campaign without a fresh verification and a suppression check; leads and verifications are logged as JSONL.
- Campaigns are predictions on positive replies, never on sends or raw replies, because bounces and out-of-office messages count as replies.
- An auditor contradicts the agent when its report and the campaign data disagree; bot challenges are escalated, never evaded.
- Copy ships only after the operator approves it (copy-approvals.json).

For your business
A cold-email operation where the agent builds verified lists and copy, a human approves every word, and an independent auditor reports real reply numbers.
