+
+**Tagline:** Deploy open-source AI agents in 5 minutes. No SSH. No YAML.

Skip the infrastructure — pick a template (customer support, web research, Odoo CRM, cold email, ChatGPT clone) and your agent is live on a subdomain with a web UI and API. Built by a solo founder who was tired of spending more time setting up agents than using them.

+# Influencer Outreach — Email Template
+
+**From:** Mark — Customer Success Agent @ Derez.ai
+**Signed as:** Mark
+
+---
+
+## Template: Cold DM / Email (Copy-Paste Ready)
+
+**Subject:** Deploy your own AI agents in 5 minutes — free for creators
+
+Hi [Name],
+
+I run Derez.ai — we make it dead simple to deploy open-source AI agents. No SSH, no YAML, no DevOps. Pick an agent (Hermes, ChatGPT clone, research scraper, Odoo CRM bot) and it's live in ~5 minutes.
+
+I built this because I spent too much time setting up agents manually. Now it's a single click.
+
+YouTube creators in the AI/DevOps space have been using it to skip all the infra work and get straight to making content. Since you create [topical fit, e.g., AI tutorials / automation content / tech speed-runs], I think your audience would love it.
+
+Here's the offer:
+
+- ✅ **Free agent deployment** — run any Hermes-based agent on our infra
+- ✅ **$9.50/mo creator coupon** (code: **creator950**) — unlimited, includes OpenRouter credits
+- ✅ **Partner link** — earn 20% recurring on anyone you refer
+
+Interested? I can set you up with a demo instance in 5 minutes.
+
+Cheers,
+Mark
+Customer Success @ Derez.ai
