What to ask it
- “Who should I reach out to today? Show me what each one said.”
- “Write the message for Priya and approve it once I've read it.”
- “Who replied this week? Draft an answer to each.”
- “How is my outreach going this month, and what should I change?”
- “Get me ready for my call with Sam.”
- “Leave out recruiters from now on.”
It works the way Hound does: the same daily limits, working hours and Autopilot switch, and anything that approves or sends is marked so apps like Claude and ChatGPT ask you first.
Questions people ask
Can my AI send more than Hound would?
No. It uses the same daily limits as the app (at most 20 LinkedIn invites, 50 LinkedIn messages and 40 emails a day), the same working hours and the same Autopilot switch. Anything that approves or sends is marked so apps like Claude and ChatGPT ask you before doing it.
Do I need an API key?
No. You paste Hound's address into your AI app once, sign in to Hound and press Allow. Nothing to copy or keep safe.
What can it see?
What you see in Hound: today's people, your replies, your outreach, your business and your settings. It can't see your payment details or connect or remove your LinkedIn or mailbox.
How do I disconnect it?
In Hound, Settings, Connect your AI, press Disconnect. It stops working straight away.
Do I need a Hound plan?
Yes. Connecting uses your Hound account, so it needs an active plan.

Let Hound find them, and the next ones, every morning.
