Potion

Overview

Potion is an AI-driven video prospecting tool that allows sales teams to create thousands of personalized videos in minutes. By recording a single template, the AI automatically customizes the recipient's name, website background, and other variables, helping reps break through the noise of crowded inboxes with high-engagement video content.

What it does

• Generates dynamic video backgrounds showing the prospect's website or LinkedIn.
• Uses AI to 'lip-sync' recipient names so one recording feels like a personal message.
• Provides branded video landing pages with integrated Call-to-Action buttons.
• Tracks video views and engagement metrics in real-time.
• Integrates with sales sequence tools to automate video delivery.

Who it's for

• SDRs and BDRs
• Account Executives
• Sales Agencies
• Growth Marketers

Why it works

• Personalization at Scale: Delivers the high conversion rates of 1-to-1 video without the massive time commitment.
• Engagement: Video is proven to increase email open and reply rates compared to text-only outreach.
• Trust: Showing a prospect's own website in the background creates instant context and credibility.
• Automation: Fits into existing workflows by syncing with popular outreach platforms.

Founder story

Founded in 2021 by Kanad Bahalkar and Dhriti Sanyal. Both founders saw that personalized video was the most effective way to sell, but realized that nobody had the time to record hundreds of individual clips daily. They built Potion to automate the tedious parts of video creation while keeping the human element intact.
