Questions founders actually ask.

I'm not a salesperson. Can I still run outbound with AskOptimus?

Yes. The AI Writing Assistant drafts full sequences — subject lines, body copy, and follow‑ups — so you don't need sales experience to start sending personalized outbound.

How many mailboxes do I need to start?

One. The Free plan supports a single sender account with a conservative daily cap, so you can start outbound from your own inbox without adding more mailboxes.

Will this hurt my company's only domain reputation?

AskOptimus enforces a daily sending cap and runs SPF/DKIM/DMARC checks on every connected mailbox, automatically pausing sends if bounce or spam‑complaint rates rise — protecting the one domain you have.

Can an AI agent handle outbound while I focus on the product?

Yes. AskOptimus's MCP server lets Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor find, verify, and launch sequences on your behalf, using the same credits and account as the dashboard.

Do I need to hire an SDR or RevOps person to use this?

No. AskOptimus is built to be set up and run by a single founder in under 15 minutes, with no dedicated GTM hire required to get a sequence live.
