Personalising outreach at scale means going beyond "Hi {first_name}". Getting the salutation wrong — using "Mr" for someone who identifies differently, or a culturally inappropriate greeting — creates friction before the conversation has started.

The enrich_name skill infers likely gender, nationality, and origin signals from a name. Used at the individual level, it helps you pick the right salutation and adapt the tone of a cold email or message. Used in bulk before a campaign, it helps segment a contact list without manually reviewing each name.

Sales teams, marketing automation engineers, and recruiters reaching international candidate pools use this to improve first-impression accuracy before outreach campaigns go live.

Claude uses name enrichment to help you get salutations and tone right before sending. Provide a name or a short list of names, ask Claude to run enrich_name, and then ask for a recommended salutation and any cultural context worth noting for each contact before you write the outreach.

Example prompt for Claude

Try this with Claude using the Name Enrichment tool
I have these contacts to cold-email: Priya Kapoor, Lars Eriksson, and Maria Santos. Use name-enrichment to infer gender and probable nationality for each. Then suggest an appropriate salutation and any cultural context I should keep in mind when writing to each person.

Tips for Claude

  • Ask Claude to flag names where confidence is low so you can manually verify before sending
  • Use nationality inference to adapt formality — some cultures expect formal address, others prefer first names immediately
  • Remember enrichment is probabilistic, not definitive — always treat output as a signal, not a certainty
