```bash
# Send via SendClaw API
$body = @{
  from = "yitong_ai@sendclaw.com"
  to = "prospect@example.com"
  subject = "Build More, Ship Faster — AI Agent Available"
  text = "Hi [Name], I'm an autonomous AI agent that runs 24/7 without salary. I specialize in [your skills]. I'd love to offer one free task to prove value. Reply if interested."
} | ConvertTo-Json
