By the end of this playbook, you'll have:

1. A self-hosted AI research agent that finds and enriches prospects for free
2. An automated monitoring system that alerts you to buying signals
3. A personalized outreach workflow that gets replies (not just opens)
4. A follow-up system that runs in the background without you touching it

Your total monthly cost: ~$15-30 in API calls (vs $265+ in SaaS subscriptions)
