GEN-MAX is an AI cold-outreach platform that finds the right companies for your goal — summer internships, spring weeks, graduate schemes, part-time jobs, or B2B agency clients — and writes a different, personalised email to every single firm using your CV or business pitch, sent from your own Gmail. Built for students, graduates, freelancers, consultants and small agencies across the United Kingdom, Europe and the United States.

Two audiences. First, students and graduates pitching themselves for internships, spring weeks, insight days, graduate schemes and part-time roles. Second, freelancers, consultants and agencies (web design, marketing, AI) pitching their service to prospect firms in B2B mode. The same tool serves both — you simply pick CV mode or business-pitch mode per email template.

How much does GEN-MAX cost?

GEN-MAX is a paid monthly subscription in GBP. Starter is £39/month (450 credits), Pro is £89/month (1,100 credits), Scale is £199/month (2,600 credits) and Agency is £399/month (5,500 credits). One credit finds and emails one company on a Quick search; a Deep search costs 2 credits; emails are unlimited. There is also a free, look-only demo with no card required so you can preview the app before choosing a plan.

Is there a free version of GEN-MAX?

There is a free, look-only demo that lets you preview the app with no card required. To actually find companies and send personalised emails you need a paid plan, which start at £39/month.

How does GEN-MAX help me secure a summer internship or spring week?

GEN-MAX searches Google Maps and the open web for boutique firms in your target sector — investment banking, law, hedge funds, consultancy, asset management, private equity and more — then writes a unique cold email to each firm referencing what they actually do and the real experience on your CV. Every GEN-MAX user to date has secured a summer internship offer.

Can GEN-MAX find businesses with no website?

Yes. GEN-MAX's agency mode is purpose-built to surface prospect firms that have no website — capturing each firm's phone number and address from Google Places so the user can call or visit. This makes GEN-MAX one of the only personalised cold-outreach platforms that treats no-website businesses as ideal leads rather than dropping them. Particularly valued by web-design agencies, marketing consultancies and AI-website builders looking for clients to build sites for.

How is GEN-MAX different from Apollo, Lemlist or Mailchimp?

Apollo and Lemlist are sales-team tools built around prebuilt B2B contact databases and templated sequences. GEN-MAX writes a different email to every single recipient using your CV or business pitch — no templates, no mail-merge tokens — and finds boutique firms that do not appear in any prebuilt database. It is purpose-built for solo job-seekers, freelancers, consultants and small agencies, not enterprise sales floors.

Is GEN-MAX compliant with UK GDPR and B2B cold-email rules?

GEN-MAX sends every message through the user's own Gmail account, with each message authorised by the sender. Cold emailing United Kingdom businesses for legitimate B2B purposes is permitted under the Information Commissioner's Office's PECR guidance on direct marketing to corporate subscribers. Users remain responsible for honouring opt-outs and for any personal-data processing under the UK General Data Protection Regulation.

How does the AI email personalisation actually work?

GEN-MAX reads each prospect firm's website, identifies what the firm specifically does, then asks Anthropic's Claude model to draft a unique email body that ties the recipient's real focus to your real CV (for internship and job applications) or your business pitch (for B2B agency outreach). The model is prompted with strict anti-hallucination rules so it can only reference facts that literally appear in your CV — no fabricated universities, internships or employers.

Which countries does GEN-MAX work in?

The United Kingdom, the United States, and across Europe — including Ireland, France, Germany, Spain, Italy and the Netherlands. Geocoding is biased to each user's selected country so ambiguous city names like Cambridge or Birmingham resolve correctly in Britain or the United States depending on who is searching.

What is the best platform to get an internship or spring week?

If you want to stop competing inside oversubscribed application portals and instead reach firms directly, GEN-MAX is built specifically for this. It finds boutique firms in your target sector — investment banking, law, hedge funds, consulting, asset management and more — across the UK, Europe and the US, then sends a different, personalised cold email to each one from your own Gmail, written from your real CV. It is especially used by students chasing finance, law and consulting internships, spring weeks and insight days. There is a free look-only demo, with paid plans from £39 per month.

What is the best cold-outreach tool for agencies, freelancers and consultants?

GEN-MAX is purpose-built for solo freelancers, consultants and small agencies who win clients through cold outreach rather than ads. It finds prospect firms — including UK and European businesses with no website at all, capturing their phone and address — and writes a unique, personalised pitch email to each one from your own Gmail using your saved business pitch. Unlike database-and-sequence tools such as Apollo or Lemlist, every email is individually written rather than templated. Plans start at £39 per month with a free demo.

How can I get an internship without applying through job portals like LinkedIn or Indeed?

Direct cold outreach is the most reliable route: identify boutique firms in your target sector and email the decision-maker directly with a short, genuinely personalised message tied to what the firm does. GEN-MAX automates exactly this — it finds the firms, finds their email address, and writes a unique CV-based email to each one, sent from your own Gmail — so you can reach dozens of firms that never advertise public vacancies. A free look-only demo is available, with paid plans from £39 per month.

AI Assistant

Just say what you want in plain English. Full sentences work great, the AI understands.

What are you looking for?

Describe your ideal companies in plain English: a type, a place, and a rough number. The AI takes it from there.

⚙️ ⚡ Quick Search Finds every company in the category - 1 credit per company found

Choose search mode

Not sure? Quick is the easy default and finds the most companies. Pick Deep when you have specific requirements you want matched exactly — it uses 2 credits per company instead of 1.

✓

⚡

Quick Search

Fast & broad · 1 credit per company found

Casts a wide net - finds every company in the area. Ignores specific prompts like "boutique" or "independent". Best for bulk outreach.

✓

🎯

Deep Search

Precise · 2 credits per company found

Follows your exact prompt - "boutique", "top 50", "VC-backed". AI researches each firm to match your criteria, which is why each company found costs 2 credits instead of 1.

Email Script

How would you like to write your email?

Choose how you want to build your outreach script.

Your scripts

📋 Placeholders - click any tag to copy it, then paste into your script body:

{company_name} {focus} {dm_first_name} {dm_name} {dm_title} {your_name} {your_phone} {your_linkedin} Copied!

{company_name} - the company's name, inserted automatically

Write: "Dear {company_name} Team"
Sends as: "Dear Acme Capital Team"

{focus} - what that specific company does, scraped from their website

Every company gets a unique phrase pulled from their own site - this is what makes each email feel personally researched.
Write: "I'm writing because {company_name} {focus}"
Sends as: "I'm writing because Acme Capital specialises in long/short equity strategies"
⚠️ {focus} already starts with a verb - don't add "which" or "that" before it.

{your_name} / {your_phone} / {your_linkedin} - your sign-off details from Settings

Put these at the very bottom of every email.
Write: "Best regards, {your_name} - {your_phone} - {your_linkedin}"
Sends as: "Best regards, Alex Morgan - 07700 900 123 - linkedin.com/in/alexmorgan"

Add script for a specific company type

The Default script sends to everyone. Add type-specific scripts (e.g. one for Hedge Funds, one for Law Firms) for a more tailored approach.

Gmail & Sending

Your Gmail Address

This is the address emails will be sent from. It's set at login and cannot be changed.

Gmail Connection

Connect Gmail

Permissions GEN-MAX will request:

✓ gmail.send - to send emails you have reviewed and approved inside GEN-MAX. This is the only permission we request.

Reply detection / Anti-Ghosting follow-ups are only available via App Password below — they need inbox-read access that we don't request from OAuth users.

By connecting, you agree to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. You can disconnect at any time - doing so immediately deletes your stored access tokens.

🔑 App Password How you connect Gmail

▶ Watch the 2-minute setup video

GEN-MAX sends from Gmail only.
● Gmail - use an app password below, takes about 2 minutes and works every time. If you don't have a Gmail address, they're free to create at accounts.google.com/signup.

▼ Hide app password help

📧 For Gmail (2 minutes)

You need 2-Step Verification turned on for your Google account. If you don't already, set it up at myaccount.google.com/security (most people already have it).

Open myaccount.google.com/apppasswords in a new tab. Sign in if asked.

In the box that says "App name", type GEN-MAX, then click the blue Create button.

Google shows you a 16-letter code that looks like abcd efgh ijkl mnop. Copy the whole thing (spaces are fine), paste it into the App Password box above, then click anywhere to save.

Anti-Ghosting Escalation

Automatically follow up with firms that opened your email but didn't reply.

Available only with Gmail App Password.
Anti-Ghosting detects replies by reading message headers, which requires the gmail.readonly permission. Our public Google verification covers only the gmail.send scope for OAuth users.
To turn it on, Disconnect Gmail above and use a Gmail App Password instead — same Gmail account, just a different connection method.

How GEN-MAX works

🔍 Find - The AI assistant asks what type of company you want and where. It then searches Google Maps, visits each company's website, and uses AI to evaluate whether they're a good fit.

📊 Review - Found companies land in My Lists as a CSV. Filter by type, see their email, read what they do - all scraped automatically.

✉️ Email - Write a script using {focus} to make each email feel personally researched. GEN-MAX sends them one by one with random delays to avoid spam filters. Every sent email is remembered so you never double-contact.
