Hey Product Hunt!
I'm Mikita, co-founder of Skarbe.
So here's the thing. I lost deals in my first business because I forgot to follow up. Embarrassing, but true. Later at PandaDoc, I watched thousands of founders do the exact same thing. Turns out I wasn't alone.
Here's what I learned: founders, consultants, small business owners - we're not "salespeople".
We're just trying to build something cool and sell it to people. But sales is like the 6th thing on our to-do list today, right after fixing bugs, answering customer emails, and pretending we have a marketing strategy.
How we got here:
We started with Skarbe - a simple AI inbox to organize your contacts and save you a couple hours every day. Nice, but not enough.
Then users kept asking: "Can it just... do the follow-ups for me?"
So we built Oskar.
Meet Oskar.
He's an AI agent who lives inside Skarbe and does the boring sales stuff you forget to do: qualifies contacts, follows up when they go cold, enriches them with data, tracks deals.
Basically, Oskar is the person you wish you hired but can't afford yet.
What's coming next:
We're shipping more stuff soon because apparently Oskar is an overachiever:
Integrations: WhatsApp for Business, built-in dialer with call recording, LinkedIn (because your leads are everywhere, not just email)
Ask Oskar Anything: "Who haven't I talked to in 2 weeks?" He answers. No more scrolling through your inbox at midnight.
Deep Contact Research: Oskar will dig through all 10,000 of your contacts, find opportunities you forgot about, and ask permission to re-engage. Like having a really thorough assistant who actually remembers stuff.
Mobile App: Because deals don't wait for you to get back to your desk.
Try Oskar today. Tell me what breaks 🙏

@nikita_martynov Guys, great project! Congratulations on the launch and good luck🔥
Skarbe
@maria_anosova thanks a lot for your support!
Skarbe
@maria_anosova Glad you like the idea! We built Oskar exactly for that reason )
Skarbe
@nikita_martynov @maria_anosova Thank you so much, Maria! Your support means a lot. We’re excited about Oskar and can’t wait to see how it helps teams like yours. This is just the start—much more to come!
@nikita_martynov Congrats on the launch! I really love this shift from inbox as a cold archive to inbox as an active assistant. I’m thinking especially about all those "accidental" entrepreneurs… the people who didn’t set out to become salespeople, but still have to sell while holding lots of other roles at once. For them Oscar is probably a relief!
Skarbe
@anastasiya_kashko Thanks so much, Anastasiya! Exactly, that’s who we’re building for. Those founders and operators who never planned to “do sales” but end up doing it every day. If Oskar can take even a bit of that load off their plate, we’re on the right track.
Skarbe
@nikita_martynov @anastasiya_kashko Thank you, Anastasiya! That’s exactly our vision — empowering those accidental entrepreneurs who didn’t plan to be salespeople but juggle many roles. We’re building Oskar to take that burden off your plate.
@nikita_martynov The deep contact research feature is something I would like to explore. I have 5k+ contacts in sheets, phone contact book and inboxes. If Oskar can revive them without me spending days sorting, I would love to pay for this. :D
Skarbe
@rohanrecommends Yes, we're all super excited about it!
@nikita_martynov Congrats team! Does this work for cold outbound?
Skarbe
@barmeir_tal Thanks, Tal! Oskar doesn’t send cold emails himself, but if cold emails is part of your go-to-market setup, you can simply forward responses to those emails to Skarbe (to connected inbox). From there, Oskar will automatically qualify, disqualify, prioritize, craft replies, and handle follow-ups for you. Very simple.

Whatever saves your 2 precious hours, that's a great thing. I feel the same for this app
Congrats on your great launch!
Skarbe
@chilarai Thanks, Chilarai! Glad it resonatesб that’s exactly what we’re solving for. Most people don’t need CRM, they just want their time back.
Swytchcode
@nikita_martynov yes and a single tool that does all the follow up stuff :)
Skarbe
@chilarai exactly!
Skarbe
@chilarai Thanks! Excited to hear what you think once you give it a try.
Swytchcode
@ilya_korzun Awesome. I'll do that
Skarbe
@chilarai Thanks so much! 2 hours back in your day is huge. Would love to hear how it works for you!
Swytchcode
@talyuk I'll definitely give it a try. Would love to connect with you guys

Massive congrats! Love how you turned a real founder pain into such a practical productt. Following up is the easiest thing to forget and the hardest to fix.
Skarbe
@a007mr Thanks for your support! Follow-ups are so easy to forget. Those people, who was asking about your service are already interested. You probably spent money and time emailing them, and now forgetting to follow up costs you business. Huge problem to be solved!
Skarbe
@a007mr Thanks for the support 🙌 -- curious to hear your feedback after testing.
Skarbe
@a007mr Thanks for the kind words, Anton! Excited to have you on the journey with us.

Following up leads is most tedious and painful stuff while running business - so glad Skarbe Oskar could help it out! Congrats team!
Skarbe
@cruise_chen Cruise, thank you! 🙏 Exactly. Follow-ups are the thing everyone knows they should do but somehow never gets done. We built Oskar because I lost deals in my first business to exactly this - just forgot to follow up while busy with other stuff. Really appreciate the support today!
Skarbe
@cruise_chen Yep, Oskar handles follow-ups so you don’t have to, curious to hear your feedback after testing.
Skarbe
@cruise_chen Couldn't agree more! That tedious work is exactly what we're trying to take off your plate. Can't wait to hear how it helps!

🔥 Huge congrats, team!
As a marketer who lives inside CRMs and follow-up sequences every day, I felt every line of this. Forgetting to follow up is literally the silent killer of deals - and building an AI that handles the boring-but-critical parts of sales is a game changer.
Skarbe + Oskar look like the combo a lot of early-stage teams have been waiting for. Wishing the entire team a strong launch today and lots of well-deserved traction 🚀
How does Oskar decide when to follow up - is it based on custom rules, engagement signals, or does he learn from user behavior over time, how “intelligent” the timing logic is?
Congrats again! 👏
Skarbe
@kate_ramakaieva Kate, thank you so much! Great question about the timing logic.
Right now, 3 days is the default. But here's how Oskar decides: He keeps track of your contacts - communication history, business intel he collects from the web, and most importantly, the intent of your email. If you sent an email where you clearly expect a reply (like a proposal or question), Oskar takes note and will follow up.
Currently, Oskar generates follow-ups automatically and pops up to remind you to approve before sending. We're testing fully autonomous mode with beta testers now (not available for general public yet) - where Oskar sends without asking.
Early results are super exciting. We're also building behavior learning. The goal: be good enough that you trust him to send without reviewing every time. We're getting there. Really appreciate the support today!
Skarbe
@kate_ramakaieva thanks Kate waiting for your honest feedback!
Skarbe
@kate_ramakaieva Thanks for the thoughtful feedback, Kate! Great question—Oskar currently bases his follow-ups on a 3-day default delay, the intent of your message, and engagement history. We’ll soon make it smarter to learn from your behavior and signals to optimize timing, plus integrate with WhatsApp, phone calls and more. Appreciate your support!
Congrats wit the launch!
Skarbe
@ititov_agency Thanks! You should try Oskar, it should be a huge help with agency business communication!
Skarbe
@ititov_agency Appreciate it! Let us know what you think once you try it out
@ilya_korzun 🤝
Skarbe
@ititov_agency Thanks Dmitry! Really excited about what we're building. Would love to hear your thoughts once you give it a try.
Skarbe
Hey PH! Ilya here from the Skarbe team. I want to share what building Oskar taught us about AI agents vs AI tools.
AI Tools: You ask them to do something. They help you do it faster.
AI Agents: They work proactively. You don't ask. They just do it!
The hardest part of building Oskar wasn't the AI - it was figuring out WHEN to act.
When is a lead actually cold?
When should he follow up?
How do you write a follow-up that sounds natural, not pushy?
We analyzed thousands of successful follow-ups to figure this out.
The result: Oskar that feels less like "sales automation" and more like a human assistant who actually remembers stuff.
Would love your feedback!
Skarbe
@ilya_korzun Go Go Go!
Skarbe
@ilya_korzun 🙌 Couldn't have said it better!

@anton_selikhov1 Thanks so much, Anton! Really appreciate the support.

great launch! can I review follow-ups before Oskar sends them?
Skarbe
@bhavesh_jain5 yes! You can set Oskar to 'review mode' where you approve every follow-up, or 'autopilot mode' where he sends them automatically. Most people start with review mode, then switch to autopilot once they trust him.
Skarbe
@bhavesh_jain5 autopilot mode is in Beta now, we will release it soon.
Skarbe
@bhavesh_jain5 Yes, you can -- just try it and see how easy it is!
Skarbe
@bhavesh_jain5 Absolutely! You're always in control. For now, you review and approve every follow-up Oskar suggests. Once you trust the system, you can toggle on autopilot and let it send automatically. Your call entirely.
