Not a mock-up. Xeme's own engine, numbers from 14 October 2026.

Our own engine

Xeme runs on its own engine.

The same kind of system we build for clients, running on Xeme's pipeline: HubSpot in, Clay research and scoring, verified email, a copy check, and everything written back with a reason.

What we build

Four kinds of work. One outcome each.

Each ends with a named process running in your systems, a person on the decision, and a number measured before and after.

01 · Forward-deployed engineering

An engineer in your stack until it runs

Built on the tools you already pay for, one change at a time, tested on real records, then handed over with a runbook and an owner.

UNKAPPED: inbound qualification from 4 hours to under 3 minutes, 698 unit and 143 end-to-end tests.

02 · Applied AI

One process, one owner, one number

A narrow job: read, decide, draft, write back. A score on every output; below the bar, a person. A test set from your past cases.

Relay for DefenderMate: Claude drafts every reply and nothing sends until a person decides.

03 · GTM engineering

Pipeline as a system, not a campaign

Signals scored with a reason, accounts enriched once with a credit cap, routing with rules, every touch logged in your CRM.

RemoteState: qualification from 48 hours to 9.6, $180K ARR growth in six months.

04 · Enterprise AI transformation

Audit, design, deploy, run

One department process at a time: baselines first, then what each agent reads and writes, one change a week, a weekly review.

Most production work so far is in revenue teams. The live system below is the clearest example.

Live in production

Meeting intelligence, every recorded call.

Built in-house by Rasul at UNKAPPED. Every recorded outside call becomes one record tied to the right client, with a summary a person reads first, and nothing reaches a client or the CRM without a gate.

How a Sprint runs

Thirty days, plan to a running engine.

A build schedule, not a discovery phase. About two hours of your time in week one, plus access to your CRM and domains.

  1. Step 01 · Days 0 to 3

    Plan

    The outcome and the guardrails. TAM, ICP, personas and signals agreed before anything is wired.

  2. Step 02 · Days 3 to 7

    Set up

    Domains, mailboxes, warm-up, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, CRM fields. Signal feeds go live.

  3. Step 03 · Days 8 to 14

    Build

    Engines run against past replies, lost deals and closed calls before a live mailbox. You correct them.

  4. Step 04 · Days 15 to 21

    Meetings

    First qualified meetings. Inbound scored and routed. Copy follows the reply data.

  5. Step 05 · Days 22 to 30

    Hand over

    Attribution in your CRM, runbooks, handover. The engine keeps running in your accounts.

The agents

Research, draft, check with a second model, route, follow up, and log every step to the CRM.

The people

Set the rules, correct the first runs, decide anything unusual, and take the meetings.

Inside one engine

Seven steps to one email worth reading.

The personalization engine Rasul built in-house at Omnibound AI: 95%+ deliverability and 1.5%+ positive replies across 150+ sending domains.

Rasul Shaikh

Who runs it

One engineer, scoping to handover.

Rasul Shaikh. AI GTM engineer since 2020, founding forward-deployed engineer at UNKAPPED, official Clay Creator. Pune, works remote.

You bought the AI. You bought the GTM tools. The number still hasn’t moved. That’s the gap I work in.

His day job is at UNKAPPED; Xeme is the practice he runs alongside it, so it takes on a few builds at a time.

Questions

Asked often, answered plainly.

Who is a fit?

Venture-backed AI and ML companies from Seed to Series B with a sales-led or hybrid motion: founders still doing founder-led sales, first GTM hires, or revenue leaders whose SDR math stopped working. Not a fit: pure PLG with no sales motion, or teams that want rented SDRs.

What is a forward-deployed engineer?

An engineer who works inside your team and your systems, maps how the work actually moves, builds on the tools you already pay for, and stays until it runs in production. Then hands it over with a runbook and a named owner on your side.

What do you mean by applied AI?

AI tied to one named business process, running on your own data and systems, with an owner, a review gate and a number it is judged on. Buying seats for a chat tool is not applied AI.

What is GTM engineering?

Building pipeline as a system rather than a campaign: signals captured and scored with a reason, accounts enriched once, routing with rules, every touch logged in the CRM, and closed deals feeding back into targeting.

Can you get us into ChatGPT and other AI search answers?

We can measure it and move it, but nobody can promise it. Answers change from run to run and each engine cites different sources, so we track a panel of real buying prompts every month and report the trend next to pipeline.

Do agents send anything without a person?

You decide. Outbound email can go out after a second model checks it, once you have approved the rules and the first runs. Replies to prospects, anything that touches money, and anything below the confidence bar wait for a person.

What do you need from us?

About two hours of founder or GTM-lead time in the first week, access to your CRM and domains, and sign-off on the signal plan. After that you review the first runs and take the meetings.

Do we own what you build?

Yes. It is built in your Clay, your CRM, your n8n and your domains. When the work ends, the engine stays and keeps running, with runbooks and handover docs.

We already run Clay and outbound. Is this still useful?

Usually that is the most useful case. The Teardown maps what to keep, and the Sprint rebuilds the engine around it. Existing tools shorten the build.

Next step

Start with a 27-minute call.

Bring the number you want to move. If Xeme is not the right fit, we will say so and point you to someone who is.
