What people actually use Forco for.

Follow-up — the work email keeps quietly losing

Most "I dropped the ball" moments live in email. A proposal that never got a yes or no. A quote a tradie asked for and never sent. A vendor you were waiting on. The thread is right there in your inbox; you just stopped looking. Below are the most common shapes this takes, and what the Forco follow-up skill does for each.

Sales — chasing a proposal or a quote

You sent a proposal on Tuesday. The buyer said "we'll review it this week." On Friday: silence. CC followup@forco.ai on the original send and write "chase if no reply by Monday." On Monday morning, Forco drafts the chase in your voice, shows it to you, and sends it the moment you approve. If the reply lands, it stops. If it doesn't, the next nudge is already queued.

Same shape for cold outreach: send the first email, CC Forco, tell it to run a polite 3-step sequence. It paces the chases, varies the wording so nothing reads like a template, and lets the loop die quietly when the prospect's clearly not interested.

Bookkeeping — chasing an unpaid invoice

The invoice went out 30 days ago. The client said "next week" two weeks back. CC Forco when you send the next reminder, and ask it to chase weekly until the payment shows. It writes politely, escalates the wording gently each round, and stops the second the client either pays or replies with a date.

Recruiting — keeping candidates moving between stages

You've got eight candidates at different stages — phone screened, waiting on a take-home, scheduled for a panel, post-offer. Each one needs a different nudge at a different cadence. CC Forco on each thread with one line of instruction; it keeps the right conversation moving at the right pace, and you stop accidentally ghosting the candidate you were keenest on.

Project management — chasing blockers across a team

A teammate owes you a design file. A vendor owes you a quote. A contractor owes you an availability. You're not their boss; you can't badger. Forward each thread to Forco with "nudge by Wednesday if no reply" and the chase happens without you ever looking like the person who's hassling everybody. The reminders come from a calm assistant, not from a frazzled human at 9pm.

Founders — vendors, investors, intros

Cap table questions sitting in a lawyer's inbox. A warm intro you owe a thank-you to. A vendor you're waiting on for a contract redline. The work that's never urgent enough to put on a to-do list, but always urgent enough to bite you a week later. CC Forco and let the threads chase themselves.

Customer success — checking in without the survey fatigue

New customer onboarded on the 1st. You want a real check-in on day 14, not a templated NPS ping. CC Forco when you send the welcome, tell it "check in on day 14 and ask how the first week went" — and it writes the human-sounding email when the time comes. Approve, send, see what comes back.

Building workflows out of the marketplace

Forco isn't only the follow-up skill. It's a marketplace of email skills, and the next layer up is orchestration: chaining one skill's output into another's input, all over email.

A taste of what becomes possible as more skills land:

• Content → publish. Email a writing skill a brief. When it replies with a draft, forward that to the WordPress skill with "publish as a new post, schedule for Tuesday 9am."
• Lead → chase. A form submission lands in your inbox. Forward it to a research skill for a one-paragraph company summary, then to the follow-up skill with "send a personalised first reply, then chase weekly until they respond."
• Invoice → reconcile → chase. Email a billing skill the month's invoices. It marks the paid ones, sends the unpaid ones to the follow-up skill, and you get a single summary email at the end.
• Whole processes by email. Hiring loops, quarterly reviews, supplier onboarding — anything that's currently a Notion checklist someone forgets to update. Describe the process in one email; the skills coordinate.

Each skill is a single email address. Each instruction is a single email. The orchestration is just you saying, in plain English, which output goes where next.

Build a business on top

That last shape — orchestration — is how operators end up running whole businesses on the back of Forco without writing code. An agency manager runs intake, research, drafting, and delivery through five different skills, chained by email. A one-person consulting practice runs onboarding, scheduling, invoicing and follow-up through the same inbox. The point isn't "use one skill"; it's "compose the skills you need into the workflow you actually run."
