About tanchi
An autonomous B2B prospecting system that operates in a nightly cycle. It sources companies matching ideal customer profiles, verifies facts on prospect websites and LinkedIn, and drafts personalized outreach messages. The tool automates email sending and follow-ups while preparing messages for other channels like LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Instagram and SMS without sending them automatically. Users review and approve the queue each morning in about ten minutes. The system learns from open rates and positive replies to refine its approach over time. It consists of four specialized agents—Hunter for sourcing, Profiler for research, Copywriter for message generation, and Analyst for learning—which operate in a sequential pipeline. The software can be self-hosted under the AGPL-3.0 license or used via a cloud service with a 14-day free trial.
