In plain English

The Engine, a French product run by Kevin Dumont, helps freelancers, consultants, and agencies find more clients and save time. The AI looks for people who might need their offer, writes a personal message, and keeps up the follow-ups and replies, while a person still reviews what goes out. Customers pay a monthly plan based on how many messages go out or how many people need access, because they want practical steps they can act on. The AI does most of the searching and the writing. Kevin checks quality, helps customers, and handles the careful cases.
