With Tact

Hey everyone, I’m the founder of Tact. I built this after spending way too much time doing outbound on LinkedIn and feeling stuck between two bad options. Either write everything manually and move painfully slow, or use automation tools that crank out messages I would never send myself. The problem I wanted to solve was not how to send more messages, but how to write better ones faster without losing context or sounding fake. Most tools focus on templates and AI generation. In practice, that pushes you toward volume and away from judgment. Tact started as a simple keyboard-first inbox because LinkedIn’s UI is slow if you live in it all day. From there, it evolved into snippets with dynamic variables so you can reuse real sentences you wrote while still adapting them to each person. The AI side shifted from ghostwriting to coaching after seeing how often generated messages felt off even when they were technically correct. A big turning point was realizing distribution matters as much as copy. Sometimes the best move is a warm intro, not a cold message. So Tact now looks at mutuals first and only falls back to direct outreach when that makes sense. This is still early and very much shaped by real usage. I’m excited to hear what resonates, what feels unnecessary, and what power users would want next.
