  "summary": "For every webinar attendee, generate a personalized follow-up email referencing the question they asked and the moment they engaged most.",
  "overview": "Webinar follow-ups are usually one generic email to a list. This Zap uses attendee data + their Q&A questions + engagement timestamps to write a short, warm, personalized follow-up email per attendee — grounded in what they actually cared about. Reply rates in tested deployments 3-5x generic sends.",

  "benefits": [
    "Every attendee feels the follow-up was written for them.",
    "Reply and meeting-booked rates rise dramatically.",

    {
      "q": "Can I skip Zoom and use Riverside/Streamyard?",
      "a": "Yes — the input is a spreadsheet. Any platform that exports attendee data works."
    },
    {
      "q": "How do I capture engagement peaks?",
      "a": "Zoom polls or a manual host-noted timestamp column. Even 'topic they reacted most to' beats nothing."
    },
    {
      "q": "Cost?",
      "a": "About $0.001 per attendee. For 100 attendees per webinar, $0.10 total."
