For founders. Your own account, worked daily.SDR Pilot for Founders.
SDR Pilot (sdrpilot.ai) is an AI SDR from $97 a month that runs on your own LinkedIn account and can be driven by your own AI agent. It is built for the founder who is the best salesperson in the company and has three hours a week to be one. It finds the people, decides who is worth a request, and answers every reply.
- Nothing to approve
- Take over any thread
- Your posts become leads
Founder outbound on LinkedIn fails in a predictable order. Week one you send fifty requests. Week two you send twenty. Week three a customer escalation eats the slot. By week five the account has forty unread conversations, a dozen unanswered connection requests, and a founder who has decided LinkedIn does not work.
Nothing in that sequence is a sending problem. It is a consistency problem and a replying problem, and those are the two things an agent is genuinely better at than a busy person.
What it does with your account
It runs on your own LinkedIn, not a second profile, because your profile is the asset. Your name, your posts, your connections and your credibility are what make a stranger accept. It holds an encrypted session cookie rather than your password, works behind a dedicated residential IP in your own country, and acts only inside the hours you set.
Every day it works six sources: the connection requests sitting unread in your invitations, the people who viewed your profile, the people who liked or commented on your posts, the people engaging with posts in your niche, a people search on your ICP, and the connections you already have and never spoke to. It opens each profile, reads it, scores it against your ideal customer profile, and sends a connection request only to the ones that pass, up to 20 a day.
Your posting finally does something
If you already post on LinkedIn, this is the part that changes the return on it. Everyone who engages with a post becomes a researched lead, scored and queued, and the ones who fit get a conversation instead of a notification you scrolled past. You can also write, schedule and publish text posts from the app. It does not write the posts for you, which is deliberate: a founder's posts are the one thing on this list nobody should outsource.
The replies are the point
When someone accepts, the agent opens the conversation in your voice, using your playbook and what it read on their profile. When they reply, it answers, asks the qualifying questions you wrote, handles the objections you listed, and holds the thread until the lead is ready for you. You put your booking link in the playbook and it sends it when the playbook says so.
When you want the conversation, you take it. Answer from the app or from LinkedIn on your phone and the agent stands down on that thread, permanently. It does not talk over you and it does not start again behind you.
What a week actually costs you
- One hour at the start, editing the playbook drafted from your website.
- Nothing to keep it running. No approvals, no scheduling, no sequence to maintain.
- Whatever time you choose to spend reading the inbox and taking the threads you want.
The honest limits
- It does not book meetings by itself and it connects no calendar. It sends the booking link from your playbook and hands over the thread.
- It is LinkedIn only. No email, no WhatsApp, no CRM sync.
- Twenty requests a day is the default and 25 is the ceiling, so this is not a volume play. It is a quality of decision play.
- A new sender warms up from 5 requests a day and reaches 20 on day 16, so the first fortnight is deliberately quiet.
- There is no free trial. Access is allow-listed and starts with a LinkedIn DM.
The founder who built it has run his own LinkedIn account on it since June 2026 and has left it unattended since August 2026. That is one account and it is not a case study, but it is the reason the defaults on this page are lower than anything the campaign tools advertise.
FAQQuestions people ask
Do I have to give SDR Pilot my LinkedIn password?
No. It holds an encrypted session cookie. There is an optional remember my password setting for automatic reconnection, off by default, and even then the password is encrypted, used only at login inside the worker, never logged and never returned by the API.
Will people be able to tell it is not me?
It writes from your playbook and from what it read on the person's profile, not from a template, and it answers at a human pace with one action at a time. Whether it says it is an AI is your decision, written in the playbook.
Can I take over a conversation?
Yes, at any moment, from the app or from LinkedIn on your phone. The agent stands down on that thread as soon as you reply and does not resume behind you.
Is 20 connection requests a day enough?
It is 600 a month, each one sent to a person whose profile was read and scored against your ICP first. LinkedIn's own invitation allowance is roughly 100 a week, so 20 a day is already close to what the platform tolerates.
What does SDR Pilot cost for one person?
$97 a month on the Pro plan, which includes one LinkedIn sender, unlimited leads and unlimited conversations. A second sender is $47 a month.
It Starts With a DM. The Agent Answers First.
SDR Pilot is allow-listed, so there is no checkout and no free trial. Send a DM on LinkedIn, the agent answers, and your account is set up from there. Plans start at $97 a month for one LinkedIn sender.
