AI-powered customer conversation platform for B2C messaging at scale
Bring WhatsApp, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Telegram, email and web chat into one shared inbox so no customer thread gets lost between apps.
AI agents qualify leads, answer routine questions, route to the right teammate and follow up automatically when conversations go quiet.
Track tags, custom fields, lead status and lifecycle stage per contact, and move deals through a pipeline without a separate CRM.
Reach thousands of customers with one message, and capture new leads directly from social ads and website links.

An AI sales employee that plans, prospects, and follows up on autopilot
Enter your URL and six specialized agents read your site in parallel to extract your proposition, build an ICP, map competitors, and surface pain points in about 30 seconds.
Agents scan hundreds of signals and score each lead by ICP fit, then enrich contact details so you focus on prospects with real context rather than raw volume.
Starnus writes and runs personalized sequences across LinkedIn and email, including connection requests, follow-ups, and reply detection, with every message approved before it sends.
Approve one weekly outbound plan and Starnus executes it step by step, reporting progress and results back to you.
