Instantly, worked by an AI employee
Not another app for your team to learn, and not a set of rules for you to build. You hire an AI employee, you give it access to your Instantly account, and you ask it for things in Slack or Teams the way you would ask anyone else on the team. There is nothing to map and nothing to maintain.

What Instantly is
Instantly is a platform designed to streamline cold email outreach by automating campaigns, managing leads, and enhancing email deliverability.
You paste in a key from your own Instantly account. It is kept encrypted, and you can withdraw it from inside Instantly whenever you like.

You stay the boss of your Instantly account.
Nothing connects until you approve it. You grant access one app at a time, you can take it back the same way, and everything your AI employee does in there is written down where you can see it.
How we handle your data- It signs in to your own Instantly account. You are not moving anything into ours.
- You grant access one app at a time, and you can take it back the same way.
- Everything it does in Instantly is written down, with what it did and when.
- Anything you tell it to check with you first, it checks with you first.
It works in Instantly and the rest of your software in the same job
A real job rarely stays in one place. Reading a message in one app, checking a record in another and writing the result in a third is one request to your AI employee, not three.
Questions people ask about Instantly

- No. Nothing moves and nothing is replaced. Your records stay in Instantly, your team carries on in the same screens they used yesterday, and your AI employee works alongside them in there.
- How does it get into my Instantly account?
- You paste in a key from your own Instantly account. It is kept encrypted, and you can withdraw it from inside Instantly whenever you like. You approve it before anything connects, and you can take the access back the same way you gave it.
