Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Think of a chatbot as something that sits on your website and waits for someone to ask it a question. An AI agent is the opposite. It goes out and does things. Squirrels.ai agents make calls, send emails, follow up with texts, and keep going until the job is actually done. Whether to book meetings, remind about pending payments, schedule interviews, or whatever the goal is, our agents work autonomously, like experienced humans, without someone on your team babysitting every step.

The honest answer is any business activity that requires high-volume calling, emailing, and texting. Cold outreach that requires an army of human Sales Development Representatives (SDRs) / Business Development Representatives (BDRs). Invoice follow-ups that feel awkward for a human to make. First-round candidate phone screens that eat up a recruiter's whole afternoon. Squirrels.ai has purpose-built agents for each of these: an AI SDR (also referred to as  AI BDR) for sales prospecting, an AI Recruiter for candidate outreach, an AI Interviewer for phone screenings, an AI AR Collections Specialist for overdue invoices, an AI Account Manager for customer check-ins, and an AI Reminder Specialist for nudging people to complete pending tasks.

Yes, Squirrels.ai AI agents send and respond to emails, make phone calls, and engage via text messaging as well. And the part that actually matters is that they connect the dots between channels. When the agent calls someone, it already knows what emails it sent and what responses it received. So the conversation doesn't feel like a random cold call out of nowhere. It's aware of the history, which makes it come across more naturally than most human outreach, honestly.

No. The setup is more like filling out a playbook than configuring software. You tell the agent what your goal is, add or sync your contacts, customize how you want it to reach out. Most users have their first campaign live within an hour. You don't need an IT team or a developer to get started.

Yes, and that was clearly a priority when building it. Squirrels.ai integrates with CRMs, ATS platforms, accounting software, HR systems and  sales intelligence tools so the data flows both ways. You're not managing a parallel system or manually copying information between tools. It fits into what you're already doing.

If anything, smaller teams get more out of it. A three-person sales team using the AI SDR can reach thousands of prospects a month, a volume that would otherwise require hiring multiple SDRs. A small staffing firm can run candidate outreach at a scale that makes them look like a much bigger operation. Pricing starts at couple hundred dollars a month, so the math usually works even for lean budgets.

The agent is trained on your company's actual information: your products, your tone, your process. So it doesn't come across as generic or robotic. Whether you disclose that it's AI is your call and depends on your industry and audience. What most businesses find is that the quality and consistency of the communication is actually better than what their team was managing manually.

Most automation tools follow a script and fall apart the moment something unexpected happens. An objection, a question, a dispute. Squirrels.ai agents handle those moments because they're built to have real conversations, not just fire off pre-written messages in sequence. That's the practical difference between automation and an actual AI agent.

Pretty simple. You pick the agent you need and pay a flat monthly or annual subscription. Emails are unlimited and don't cost anything extra. Calls and texts use credits, which come included with your plan, and if you need more you can buy more credits.

Squirrels.ai works across a wide range of industries including staffing firms, healthcare practices, law firms, accounting companies, universities, trade schools, SaaS businesses, real estate, manufacturing, furniture companies, retail businesses and distribution. The common thread is usually the same. A team spending too much time on repetitive outreach and follow-up that a well-trained agent can handle just as well, at any hour, without burning out.
