The Second Team category
What is a Second Team?
It works next to your people. It finds customers who stopped buying or haven't paid. Then it writes the messages to win them back. Nothing goes out until you say yes.

FAQ
Questions about Second Teams
Is a Second Team the same as an AI agent or AI employee?
No. An AI agent starts empty, so you have to tell it what to do. A Second Team comes ready with one job. It finds customers to win back and invoices to collect. There's nothing to set up.
Does a Second Team replace people?
No. Your people still do the work that needs a person. Your Second Team does the watching and the writing. A person says yes to every message.
Do I need to be technical to use a Second Team?
No. There are no agents to set up and no prompts to write. You share your invoices and approve the messages.
