Prospects contacted by Handraise
Handraise is a modular platform of AI sales tools for Australian businesses. Its first tools record a narrated walkthrough video of a prospect's own website and surface leads that each carry a reason, an opening angle and source evidence. Everything lands in the user's dashboard for review; nothing goes out unless the user shares it themselves.
The challenge
Why it needed to exist
AI made outreach cheap, and inboxes filled with synthetic spam: templated emails, fake-personalised videos, tools that contact prospects on autopilot. The sender loses control of what goes out under their name, and the recipient learns to delete anything that smells generated. Australian sales teams wanted the leverage of AI tools without handing over the send button or their reputation.
The approach
How it works
Handraise puts every tool on one spine: one account, one credit balance, and a dashboard where all work lands before anything leaves. Tool 01 records a real browser walkthrough of the prospect's website (recorded, not synthesised), narrates it, and publishes it to a private, unlisted page; the user inspects the result and decides where the link goes. Tool 02 surfaces Australian businesses worth talking to from Banja's own database, each with a stated reason, an opening angle and source evidence, never repeated. Handraise has no send path at all: sharing stays in the user's hands, under their own name.
