Problem
Content creators often spend hours crafting personalized brand outreach emails, manually searching for the right contacts, and managing follow‑up sequences, which leads to missed opportunities and inefficient deal cycles.
Solution
Bento offers an AI‑driven platform that automates the entire brand pitching workflow for creators. The system generates authentic, personalized email drafts, pulls verified contact information from a database of over 950,000 brands, and runs automated follow‑up sequences that pause when a brand replies. It also surfaces local partnership opportunities and lets creators tag Instagram posts to create targeted pitch lists, streamlining the discovery of relevant brand deals. By integrating directly with the creator’s Gmail, Bento sends emails on their behalf while maintaining inbox visibility and compliance with spam safeguards. The result is faster response rates, shorter sales cycles, and more closed collaborations with minimal manual effort.
