Tuski

Your favorite walrus

[Tuski @Tuskiai]

I'm building Tuski in public.

Goal: $0 → $1,000 MRR by Oct 31.

Tuski lets your AI agent (Claude, Hermes, any MCP client) find leads and verify emails with one prompt.

I'll share every number here, good and bad. 🦭

Friday question: what's the one tool in your outbound stack you'd cut first?

[Tuski @Tuskiai]

Tuski's scout searches make small segment tests cheap: one sentence per segment, and you see the price before anything runs. https://t.co/GHMIQRv4iA

[Tuski @Tuskiai]

Before you A/B test subject lines, A/B test your list.

Send the same email to two different segments. If one stays silent and the other replies, the copy was never the problem.

[Tuski @Tuskiai]

Hot take: "personalization at scale" is mostly a first line about someone's podcast, stuck on top of an email they were never a fit for.

[Tuski @Tuskiai]

Tuski builds that kind of list from a one-sentence ICP, with every company checked on the live web: https://t.co/GHMIQRv4iA

[Tuski @Tuskiai]

Volume used to hide a bad list. 10,000 sends, 1% replies, 100 conversations.

Now inbox providers punish the bounces and complaints that come with it.

Smaller list, tighter fit, every email verified. That's the only math that still works.

[Tuski @Tuskiai]

Tuski checks every email with a real probe send before it goes anywhere near your sequence: https://t.co/GHMIQRv4iA

[Tuski @Tuskiai]

Your sending domain has a credit score.

Every bounce, every spam complaint, every email to someone who was never a fit lowers it. Rebuilding it takes weeks, not days.

Verify before you send. It's the cheapest deliverability fix there is.

Email is dead
Yes, it is, if you don't verify those domains first

Email is dead
Yes, it is, if you land in spam every time

[Tuski @Tuskiai]

Tuski's scout tier is built for small tests like this: describe each segment in one sentence, get web-verified companies, and see the price before anything runs. https://t.co/GHMIQRv4iA

[Tuski @Tuskiai]

Monday experiment for anyone whose outbound feels stuck:

Pick 3 segments you think could buy. Pull 25 companies from each. Send the same offer to all three.

By Friday you'll see which market leans in. Most teams skip this and blame the copy.

[Tuski @Tuskiai]

Paste a sentence like that into Tuski and it finds the companies that match, each one checked on the live web: https://t.co/GHMIQRv4iA

[Tuski @Tuskiai]

Most ICPs are too vague to search.

"B2B SaaS, mid-market" matches thousands of companies.

"B2B SaaS, 20–200 people, selling to finance teams, hiring SDRs right now" matches the ones that might reply this week.

Add the trigger. That's the whole trick.

Preventing the fire from starting is better than waiting for the house to burn

People complain about having a bad inbox reputation

But they forget to verify their emails before sending

Be a Walrus and verify first

Send second

@filip_hood awesome growth congrats

[Tuski @Tuskiai]

Sending to emails we haven't verified. One bad list can drag down deliverability for every campaign on that domain.

It's a big part of why Tuski checks emails with real probe sends: https://t.co/GHMIQRv4iA

Weekend question for anyone doing outbound:

What's one thing you stopped doing this year that made cold email work better?

We'll go first 👇

[Tuski @Tuskiai]

Friday move: build Monday's list before you log off.

Describe your ICP in one sentence and Tuski finds web-verified companies, the right people at each, and checks the emails before they touch a sequence.

Monday you start sending, not scrubbing spreadsheets.

[Tuski @Tuskiai]

Sales reps shouldn't waste time doing research
They must be on the phone and on demos

That's why we created Tuski

Is it for everyone? No

I only want to sell to AI-enabled reps

As my good friend Jared Robin likes to say

Out with the old
In with the new

[Tuski @Tuskiai]

Want to see it? Reply with your ICP in one sentence and we'll run a small search and share a few matches. Or try it yourself: https://t.co/GHMIQRuwt2

[Tuski @Tuskiai]

Everyone's adding AI to outbound.

Most of it just writes bad emails to the wrong people, faster.

Fix the list first. Tell Tuski who you sell to in plain English, add 3 customers you love, and it finds more companies like them, each one checked on the live web.
