Sequences & cadences
The flagship feature reps live in — except the editor is clunky, the AI variants are upsold, and steps go stale the moment your ICP shifts.
What people actually say
✕Reviewers consistently describe the interface as clunky and outdated, with navigation that feels chaotic and confusing once you have more than a handful of sequences in flight.

Cadences live as versioned YAML in your repo: step, channel, delay, branch. A Next.js admin UI lets ops edit them, an Inngest worker runs the schedule, and every change is a PR with a diff — no more guessing why a step changed last Tuesday. AI variants call your own Claude or GPT key at pennies per draft, not a per-seat add-on.
