phill, my ai sales development rep

Phill is my AI sales development representative. I gave it a qualification rubric, my own take on what makes a project worth my time, and pointed it at the places opportunities actually show up. LinkedIn, Upwork, and a handful of others. Phill reads through all of them, scores each one against the rubric, and pushes only the ones that clear the bar into Attio as real opportunities.

That alone saves me more than 10 hours a week. I used to crawl through boards and posts by hand looking for the few projects I'd actually want to work on. Phill does that part now.

Then there's a second layer. For every opportunity that makes the cut, Phill drafts me a note in Discord that explains why it's high-leverage for me, whether I should go after it, and the thinking behind that call. To make that judgment real, I fed it my professional goals.

I ran it as a test for a week first. At the start it was too generous, telling me to pursue things that looked fine but weren't where I actually want to spend my time. So I gave it more context and made the goals narrower and more specific. Now it only tells me to go for something when it genuinely lines up with the work I want to do.
