What they said

Tell Harvey what you sell and who your ideal customer is.
Harvey itself: finds potential customers, researches them, identifies best leads, tracks replies, manages the sales pipeline, helps book meetings; gives a dashboard for the pipeline.
On-screen list: 1. Lead identification, 2. Reply generation, 3. Manages sales pipeline, 4. Books meetings.
README visible in the first frames (readable parts): "Harvey is an open-source Python agent that runs on your own mac[hine]... so every email it writes and every reply it reads is billed to the per-token bill. It is not an MCP server: Claude is its brain, Harvey d[oes]..." Stage table: Discover (finds local businesses, OpenStreetMap by default), Profile (reads each site: ad pixels, booking, agency, open...), Scout/Writer (scores leads vs your ICP, writes a 3-email sequence), Sender (daily cap, stops on...), Handler (replies... "Every 15 minutes it ... analyze"). Requirements: Python 3.11+, active Claude Pro or [API], macOS/Linux only, a mailbox to send from (Gmail/SMTP). Fastest setup: git clone https://.../harvey.git, cd harvey, claude, then type "set up Harvey"; it asks for what your product is, then installs, and sends nothing until approved (text partly hidden).
Mid-reel there is an ICP graphic ("Ideal Customer Profile (ICP)": industry, location, company size, revenue, stage, key decision maker, SaaS example) as illustration.

Try this

Agencies and outbound sellers: The tool in the reel finds local businesses, profiles their sites, drafts outreach, tracks replies and shows a pipeline dashboard. Profile signals such as a missing ad pixel make strong hooks.
Anyone trying it: Test in a sandbox first. Read the source code before you run it, because it sends email from your own mailbox.
Anyone doing cold email: Check spam and data laws for each country you contact, and watch deliverability.
Define your ideal customer first: industry, location, company size, revenue, stage and decision maker, so the agent targets the right businesses.
Creators: "Open-source tool X does Y, comment a keyword" is a repeatable format.
