Quickstart

Get from signup to your first outreach campaign in 5 steps.

1
Sign up and create a workspace

Go to stormy.ai and sign up with Google or email. Create your first workspace — name it after your brand or company.

2
Connect your Gmail account

Go to Settings → Integrations → Connect Gmail. Stormy sends emails from your real address — creators never see "sent via Stormy".

3
Discover creators

Navigate to Creator Discovery, pick a platform, and use natural language search or filters to find creators that match your campaign.

4
Build a list and find emails

Add creators to a list, then click Find Emails to run email discovery. Stormy searches multiple sources and verifies addresses automatically.

5
Create and launch a sequence

Build a multi-step email sequence (initial + follow-ups), select your list, and launch. Stormy handles sending, rate limiting, and tracking replies.

Tip

If you are using a new email address, enable email warmup before sending at scale. Stormy gradually increases your sending volume over 2-3 weeks. See Connecting Accounts for details.

Key Concepts

Workspaces

A workspace is the top-level container for everything in Stormy. Each workspace has its own creators, lists, sequences, inbox, and billing. If you manage multiple brands, create a separate workspace for each one.

Lists

Lists are how you organize creators — dynamic spreadsheets where each row is a creator and columns can be anything. Stormy's AI can create and manage columns automatically.

Sequences

Sequences are automated email outreach flows. Define the steps, set delays, and Stormy sends on your behalf through your connected Gmail. The AI personalizes each email using creator profile data.

AI Agent

The AI agent is the core of Stormy's autonomous capabilities — it drafts emails, reads and responds to messages, negotiates rates, categorizes conversations, and manages follow-ups.

Note

The AI agent works best when you configure it with clear playbooks that define your budget ranges, deal structures, and brand voice. See the AI Agent docs for setup details.
