PostalAgent - https://PostalAgent.com – direct mail automation for people who've given up on email open rates.

Email averages ~20% open rates on a good day. A postcard sitting on someone's kitchen counter for two weeks is hard to compete with. I've been building out the programmatic side. API, Zapier, and native integrations with Jobber and Zoho so you can trigger physical mail from the same workflows you already use for email.

Shopify integration is almost out the door too, which opens up a lot of interesting abandoned cart and win-back use cases for stores whose customers have opted out of email.

No bulk minimums, no design software needed. If anyone here wants to give it a try, reply or email me and I'll set you up with some free credits to get started.

https://PostalAgent.com – Send personalized postcards online.

Upload a CSV or circle neighborhoods on Google Maps to build your address list (consumers or businesses). Printing and postage included in one price.

In the last 30 days I've added integrations for Zapier and Jobber (after adding Pipedrive, Zoho, and Follow Up Boss last month).

If anyone wants to help test these new integrations, I'll set you up on a special plan and let you send mail at my cost (roughly the price of a stamp)

I just purchased a Beelink Mini S13 with 16GB ram and 1TB drive on Amazon for ~$200 to use as a Docker host on my local network and have been very happy with it so far.

I immediately wiped it and installed Ubuntu Server. I chose Coolify to manage Docker and local domains, and that took a bit of work to get going, but now I can spin up local services and containers on local domains and play with random stuff

Yes! You can send to an entire area, filter by residential/business or even select demographics such as home value, household income, etc

I launched https://PostalAgent.com recently that solves a similar problem.

It also can be used for Marketing because you can circle areas on a Google Map to send mailings to, and then filter by Household income, home value, etc

Ping me if you want to chat

It still forces you to download a model regardless

An option to use a local LLM on network without needing to download the 2GB "default model" would be great

The data comes from a few different sources, like MelissaData.

Thanks for noticing the broken link, I fixed it

This is amazing, nice work. Definitely one of the better starter kits I have seen.
