Hey guys, for all my Cold Emailers. If you were starting from Day 1 in 2026, and had Zero social proof how would you go about when approaching Cold Email for obtaining clients?

openai just dropped free models. you can now stop paying for chatgpt. they're called gpt-oss. 2 versions: 20b and 120b (that’s billion with a b). and yes, they can think, reason, and talk just like gpt. crazy. you can plug them into your automations in n8n and never pay api costs again. 2 ways to do it 👇 method 1 – huggingface + curl - go to huggingface.com - search “gpt-oss” models - grab the curl command (it’s under “deploy → inference API”) - paste it into n8n using the http request node - drop your huggingface token in - done. you’re live. method 2 – groq (free llm provider) - sign up at groq.com - get an api key (starts with sk-) - open n8n, use the ai agent node - choose groq as provider - paste your key - choose gpt-oss or another model (i like llama3 too) - set temperature to 0.7 (sweet spot for smart + creative) bonus tip: you can make a public ai chat with this setup. free chatbot. no fees. no limits. hope this helps!
