Shaku AI
Pipeline from live buying signals, not stale lists
About Shaku AI
Shaku AI is built on a distinction that separates effective outbound from the rest: timing beats targeting. A static contact list tells you which companies match your ideal customer profile, which is necessary and nowhere near sufficient, because most of them have no reason to buy anything this quarter. What changes that is an event. A funding round closes and there is budget. A hiring surge starts and there is a new problem. An executive arrives and there is a mandate. Shaku watches twenty signal types for those moments, rechecking every three hours, and the ones it names are hiring, funding, executive changes, LinkedIn posts and tech stack changes.
The part that makes it more than a signal feed is what arrives attached to each lead. Every company is scored 0 to 100 against an ideal customer profile that Shaku drafts by reading your own website, and which nothing runs against until you approve it. Then each lead carries two written notes: why now, the trigger and its timing in plain English, and how to pitch, a first message angle grounded in that specific signal. Their own framing is fair: this is the part a list vendor cannot sell you, because a database row is available to every competitor who buys the same file. Outreach then runs from your own mailbox rather than a shared sending domain, so replies land in your inbox like any other conversation. You can see the whole thing work before creating an account, since entering your URL runs the real engine on your site for free with no signup.
Enter your website and approve the ICP it drafts. Shaku reads your site and proposes industries, personas, company size, geography and which signals matter. Nothing sources until you approve it, which is the one point where you control who gets targeted.
The engine then sources on its own every three hours, around the clock. It watches the twenty signal types across companies that fit your profile, scores each match from 0 to 100, and writes the why now and how to pitch notes as it goes.
Work the ranked queue rather than a spreadsheet. Every lead shows its score, the signal that surfaced it and its why now note, so the question of who to call first is already answered. Four surfaces carry the work: the lead queue, your ICP, the signal feed and the outreach drafts.
Enroll the leads you want into email and LinkedIn sequences sent from your own address, edit or approve each drafted message, and push leads to your CRM. AutoReach adds automated sequences, follow-ups and outreach analytics on top of the Basic workspace.
- •Twenty Signal Types, Rechecked Every 3 Hours - Hiring surges, funding rounds, executive moves, LinkedIn posts and tech stack changes among them, so leads surface within hours of the trigger rather than weeks later

- •0 to 100 Scoring - Every lead ranked against your approved ICP, so the queue arrives pre-sorted
- •Why Now and How To Pitch - Two written notes on every lead: the trigger and its timing, and a first message angle grounded in that signal rather than a template with a name swapped in
- •Sends From Your Own Mailbox - Email and LinkedIn sequences run from your address, so replies come back to your inbox
- •Send-Only Mailbox Access - Shaku requests send-only scope and states it cannot read, search or open any message you receive. Replies are recorded as having happened, never their contents
- •Tenant-Scoped Data With One-Click Delete - Every record scoped to your workspace, TLS in transit and encryption at rest, OAuth tokens in an access-controlled store, full JSON export and instant deletion on demand

For B2B sales teams and founders doing outbound who have worked a purchased contact list and watched it convert poorly, which is the standard experience. It suits companies whose product maps to an identifiable trigger, such as anything sold to newly funded organisations, to teams that just started hiring for a role, or to organisations that just changed a piece of their stack.
Teams that have refused signal tools on security grounds should look at this one specifically. Most outbound tools want full mailbox access; Shaku asks for send-only, says plainly that it cannot read your inbox, and does not store reply contents. It also publishes one-click export and deletion, and describes SOC 2 readiness as underway rather than claiming certification it does not have. That is a materially different posture from the category norm and it is the objection this product was built to answer.
Two things to weigh before you buy. Pricing is per user, so cost scales with headcount rather than being a flat platform fee, and a five rep team on Basic is $245 a month rather than $49. And the site does not name which CRMs it pushes to, nor how long the free trial runs, so confirm both against your own stack before committing. The free no-signup ICP preview is the cheapest way to judge whether the signal quality suits your market.
Pricing
$49 - $69/mo
Priced per user, not per team: Basic $49/user/month (200 enrichment credits, signal-led discovery, outreach drafts, CRM push, tasks) and AutoReach $69/user/month (350 credits, adds email sequences and follow-ups, AutoReach analytics, manual LinkedIn and call tasks). A free trial is offered but the site does not state its length, and there is no annual option. Enterprise is marked coming soon. You can generate your ICP free with no signup before creating an account.
