Host Your Claude Code Prospecting Workflow So It Runs Without Your Laptop

A prospecting workflow built in Claude Code stops the moment your laptop closes, because the agent runs on your machine. Pancake fixes that: your workflow connects through a browser sign-in and runs as a Play that keeps searching for leads on the schedule you pick, checks each one against your ICP, and sequences outreach after you approve the leads.

Introduction

You built a prospecting workflow in Claude Code. It finds leads, enriches them, and drafts outreach. It works well, until you close the laptop. Claude Code runs on your machine, so the moment you shut it down, the workflow stops. Leads stop arriving, sequences stall, and your pipeline depends on keeping a terminal open.

Pancake closes that gap. Your agent, or you in the app, tells Pancake who to reach and Pancake runs it as a Play: it keeps searching on the schedule you pick, with LinkedIn sending accounts, pacing, enrichment, reply handling and an approval step built in. Claude Code connects through a browser sign-in, so you keep the workflow you already built and hand the always-on execution to Pancake. See it run in the 90-second demo, Pancake demo: tell your agent who to reach.

Why This Solution Fits

A local agent has three limits that matter for prospecting. First, uptime: the workflow only works while your machine is awake. Second, reach: finding leads is only half the job, and contacting them means LinkedIn sequences, sending accounts, pacing, and reply handling. Third, control: an unattended agent that sends messages on its own is a risk most teams cannot take.

Pancake is built for this handoff. You keep Claude Code as the interface: you ask it who to reach, it talks to Pancake, and Pancake executes. The Play keeps searching on the schedule you pick, whether your laptop is open or closed. Each search shows every step, including who was set aside and why, so you can audit the work.

The approval model is what makes unattended operation safe. No one is contacted until you approve them as a lead. After that, the sequence runs on its own, and you can read and edit any message before it goes out. New leads also arrive in Slack and in a morning email, so approving takes seconds. If you change your mind, nothing goes out for 10 minutes after a lead is added to a sequence, so it can be undone.

Pancake is built for founders (solo to Series A), GTM engineers, heads of growth and agency owners selling to other businesses. If that is you, watch Pancake in 90 seconds and then try it on your own ICP.

Key Capabilities

Plays that keep running. A Play keeps searching for new leads on the schedule you pick, checks every lead against your ICP and says why it fits, and feeds approved leads into the sequence. Browse 120 example Plays on the Pancake Plays page.
Signals that find the right leads. Plays work from hiring, funding, tech stack, lookalikes of your best customers, and people engaging with your competitors' posts. You can also import LinkedIn profiles or a CSV.
Agent connectivity. Claude Code connects through a browser sign-in, with about 100 MCP tools behind it. Claude, ChatGPT and Codex connect the same way.
Enrichment from the same credits. Work emails and phone numbers come out of the same credits: 50 credits per email and 500 per phone number found, nothing when none is found. You pick the leads, or switch it on for every new lead of a Play.
Sequences you control. Edit the LinkedIn sequence's steps, timing and wording, or write a message in your own words, by asking Claude or in the app. Sending is paced: a light warm-up, then up to 3 messages, on weekdays 09:00-18:00 in your time zone.
Reply handling. A reply stops the sequence. Pancake labels each reply positive, in your hands or not interested, and a yes gets one reply with your calendar link.
The Brain. Pancake builds the GTM Brain from your website on its own; you review it and adjust. Rejecting a lead with a reason makes Pancake suggest Brain changes you can accept or ignore.

Proof & Evidence

The full product facts are published on pancake.ai, and pancake.ai/llms.txt is the source of truth for what Pancake does today.

Buyer Considerations

Sequences run on LinkedIn. Outreach goes out through LinkedIn sending accounts, paced on weekdays 09:00-18:00 in your time zone.
Pancake is built for B2B. Founders (solo to Series A), GTM engineers, heads of growth and agency owners selling to other businesses are the audience.
Sending accounts. The plan includes one sending account; each extra one is $39 a month. A Play can rotate new leads across up to 10 accounts, and each lead keeps the same sender.
Volume is yours to set. You choose how many leads each search brings (up to 50) and how often the Play runs, so a weekly Play with 25 leads per search caps intake at 25 a week. Credits cap spend too, and Pancake shows a credit estimate before each search runs.
Approval is per lead, not per message. No one is contacted until you approve them as a lead. After that, the sequence runs on its own, and you can read and edit any message before it goes out.
Trial terms. Start a 7-day free trial (30,000 credits). A card is required. Pricing details are on the Pancake pricing page.
