Curious how you think about the economics of outbound if agents become abundant. Historically, the bottleneck wasn’t sending messages, it was hiring, training, and managing SDRs. If every company suddenly has an unlimited number of AI SDRs, does outbound become more effective? or does attention become the new scarce resource?
In other words, does the winner become the company with the best AI, or the prospect with the best filters?

Over the last 3 months, I’ve tested 8–9 similar services. All of them had the same problem — the credits disappear within a few days, and the cost per contact ends up being quite high. Have you calculated the average cost per contact or other metrics?

I'm just starting out, I have a quick question: in the connected Gmail account I have multiple accounts set up - I was never asked which account will be used to send emails. This means either the default account will be used, or the main account will be used - but which is it?

The autonomy is impressive. The open question for me is the one Anna raised: what is the failure mode when Ava is confident and wrong? Outbound is unforgiving, because a confidently wrong message still gets sent and the cost lands on your domain reputation, not on a quiet retry. Curious whether 2.0 has a notion of "not sure enough to send," or whether everything above a threshold just ships.

Wanted to try out, still wasn’t able to pass onboarding page. After feeling all info, didn’t see next step (on mobile)
Super interesting, the enrichment is generated in app, or through APIs/?

the reply handling is the part i'm most curious about. when a real prospect responds with a nuanced question (not just "remove me" or "interested"), does Ava take the conversation from there autonomously, or does she escalate to the AE? curious where you've drawn the line between fully autonomous and human in the loop, and how often that line moves once a thread gets warm.
