Jason 3.0 + 4 Updates That Make Manual Outreach Easier

Jason AI SDR 3.0: Research Agents You Actually Control

The Problem Everyone’s Been Screaming About

You’re paying for AI personalization. Jason finds facts. He writes emails. But here’s what kept happening: he’d mention a prospect’s recent conference appearance when you really needed to talk about their Q3 hiring spike. Or he’d reference a LinkedIn post when a simple company pain point would’ve landed better.

The personalization was there. It just wasn’t yours.

What Actually Changed

Research Agents. You now pick exactly what Jason researches – and he ignores everything else.

Before: Jason grabbed whatever facts he found interesting.
Now: You choose up to 3 specific personalization angles, and Jason’s Research Agents pull only those insights.

Your options:

• Basic Research – surface-level essentials (job title changes, recent posts)
• Company Research – business model, recent news, growth signals
• Prospect Research – career moves, interests, trigger events
• Industry Research – market trends, competitor moves, emerging challenges
• CRM Fields – classic merge tags (name, title, company, location, size, industry)

Here’s What You Get

Instead of generic “I saw you posted about AI” lines, you get angles that actually match your pitch.

Selling to HR? Pick Prospect Research + Company Research. Jason finds recent hires and connects it to their scaling challenges.

Targeting enterprise? Choose Company Research + Industry Research. Jason spots their competitor’s move and ties it to your solution.

Want speed over depth? Stick to CRM Fields. Jason still generates unique emails – just faster.

The kicker: Choose multiple angles, and Jason automatically picks the most relevant one for each prospect. You set the strategy. He executes it. No babysitting required.

Your old sequences keep running unchanged.

Stop Burning $10 Per InMail When You Don’t Have To

The Expensive Mistake You’re Probably Making

InMail credits cost anywhere from $7 to $15 each, depending on your Sales Navigator plan. Meanwhile, tons of prospects have public LinkedIn profiles – meaning you can message them for free using regular connection requests or public messages.

But here’s the problem: you can’t tell who’s public until you’re already looking at their profile. So you burn credits on people you could’ve reached for $0.

What We Built

Automatic public profile detection. Reply.io now checks if a LinkedIn profile is public before you waste a credit.

Before: You sent InMails to everyone. Public or not.
Now: Reply.io checks first. Public profile? Free message. Private? InMail only if needed.

The Math That Actually Matters

Let’s say you’re running a 500-prospect campaign:

• 30% have public profiles (industry average)
• That’s 150 people you can reach for free
• At $10/InMail, you just saved $1,500

The feature works in AI SDR sequences automatically when you select InMail as a channel. For manual sequences, just add the condition “LinkedIn profile public = True” and set your routing logic. Same detection, same savings—whether Jason’s writing your messages or you are.

Connect LinkedIn Accounts Without the Cookie Circus

The Friction That Shouldn’t Exist

Until now, connecting LinkedIn to Reply.io meant exporting cookies from Chrome. If you’ve done it, you know: it’s clunky, confusing, and borderline sketchy-feeling.

For agencies managing client accounts? Forget it. You’re either asking for credentials (risky) or walking them through a 12-step cookie export process (painful).

Multi-channel outreach is powerful. The setup just sucked.

The Two New Options

We rebuilt LinkedIn connections from scratch. No cookies required.

•  Add with credentials
  Sign in directly with your LinkedIn username and password. Your account gets a key icon showing it’s secure. Takes 30 seconds.
•  Add with invite link

Generate a time-limited, secure link. Send it to a teammate or client. They click, authenticate, and their account connects – without ever sharing credentials.

Before: Cookie exports via Chrome Extension only.
Now: Direct sign-in or shareable invite links. Your choice.

What This Unlocks

• Agencies: Onboard client LinkedIn accounts in minutes, not hours. No credential sharing. No security concerns.
• Teams: New SDR starts Monday? Send them an invite link. They’re live before lunch.
• Solo users: Just sign in. No Chrome Extension download. No cookie confusion.

Multi-channel outreach (LinkedIn + email) just got as easy as email-only sequences—whether you’re running AI campaigns or building everything manually.

Attach Files to Manual Email Tasks (Because PDFs Still Close Deals)

When Text Alone Isn’t Enough

You’re at the bottom of your sequence. The prospect finally replied. They want to see your case study. Or pricing. Or that custom one-pager your solutions engineer built.

But here’s the problem: your manual email task doesn’t have the attachment. So you have to leave Reply.io, open Gmail, find the file, attach it, and hope you don’t screw up the tracking.

It breaks your flow. It wastes time. And sometimes, you just… forget.

What You Can Do Now

Add attachments directly to manual email tasks. Right inside Reply.io or via the Chrome extension.

Before: Manual tasks were text-only. Attachments meant leaving the platform.
Now: Upload your PDF, DOCX, or slide deck directly to the task. Hit send. Done.

Why This Actually Matters

High-value deals need more than copy. They need proof:

• Case studies for skeptical buyers
• Pricing sheets for budget conversations
• Proposals for final negotiations
• Technical specs for engineering reviews

Now you can stage the right document at the right step. Automate the task creation. Attach the file. Your rep just personalizes and sends.

It’s already live on the Tasks page and in the Chrome extension. Next time you create a manual email task, look for the attachment option.

Blacklist That Actually Blocks Everything (Finally)

The Leak That Kept Happening

You blacklist a contact. Maybe they’re a competitor. Maybe they complained. Maybe they’re your CEO’s ex.

But here’s what kept happening: they’d still pop up in LinkedIn steps. Or a call task would generate. Or worse—someone on your team would reach out manually because the contact was still visible in the grid.

The blacklist worked for email. Just not for… anything else.

What We Fixed

One-click, all-channel blocking. Blacklist now works everywhere, instantly.

Before: Blacklist only stopped emails. LinkedIn, calls, and tasks slipped through.
Now: One click blocks email, LinkedIn, calls, and tasks. The contact disappears from your workflows entirely.

What This Means for You

• No more awkward conversations. That competitor you blacklisted? They’ll never get a LinkedIn message or call – whether it’s Jason reaching out or your SDR running a manual sequence.
• Cleaner contact grid. Call buttons disappear for blacklisted contacts. No accidental dials.
• Team-wide protection. Everyone sees the same blacklist. No one can reach out by mistake.

It’s automatic. It’s instant. It’s how blacklist should’ve worked from day one.
