- 50 new conversations / day per line
- Apple enforces a per-line cap of 50 new conversations per day on iMessage. Exceeding it gets the Apple ID flagged. To scale, add lines — limits stack linearly (10 lines = 500/day, 100 lines = 5,000/day).
- $335 one-time setup fee
- The $335 fee covers a dedicated Mac mini, a warmed Apple ID, and carrier KYC done in your business name. Paid before the first message. Non-refundable from the moment provisioning starts.
- Shared pool vs dedicated infrastructure
- $100/month competitors run a shared pool of Apple IDs across customers — if anyone on the pool spams, Apple flags the pool and your traffic stops too. Tuco AI gives every line its own Apple ID and Mac mini. The setup fee pays for that isolation.
- Email-based iMessage line
- On an email-based line you bring your own iCloud address. Recipients see an iMessage from that email instead of a phone number. iPhone users get blue-bubble iMessage; Android falls back to standard email. No $335 setup fee and no carrier KYC required.
- Dedicated phone line
- A dedicated US phone number assigned to you. Sends real SMS to anyone on any carrier with higher Android delivery than an email-based line. Requires the $335 one-time setup fee for provisioning and carrier KYC.
- Real hardware
- Tuco AI is not a SaaS API on top of someone else's pool. Every line runs on a physical Mac mini with a dedicated Apple ID, on a real cellular or Wi-Fi network. That is why setup takes days, costs $335 upfront, and is non-refundable.
- Apple ID recovery
- Apple flags lines occasionally, usually from high volume or recipient reports. Tuco AI rebuilds the Apple ID and provisions a new sending identity within 24-48 hours without replacing your number or infrastructure. Competitors typically force you to start over with a new line.
- KB copilot
- Tuco AI ingests your docs, FAQ, and sales playbooks once, then drafts replies for incoming questions sourced from those documents. Three modes per line: Manual (you approve), Copilot (AI suggests), or Autopilot (AI sends directly).
- AI SDRs
- Prompt-built AI personas that qualify leads, ask the right discovery question, and book the meeting without you typing. You set the persona, the offer, and the disqualifiers — the SDR runs autonomously inside the limits you define.
- Telegram work surface
- Every inbound iMessage reply pings your Telegram bot. Tap to draft, send, snooze, or mark done — no need to open the Tuco AI dashboard. Optimized for phone-first SDRs.
- AI replies (autopilot mode)
- Three modes per line: Manual (you type), Copilot (AI drafts, you approve), Autopilot (AI sends). Caps, DNC, business hours, language audits, and custom blockers are always respected — no autopilot bypasses your safety rules.
- Dormant lead reactivation
- Scans leads who went quiet (typically 90-180+ days), respects cooldowns and per-day caps, then re-engages with a fresh-angle iMessage. The AI SDR handles the conversation and books meetings without you typing.
- MCP (Model Context Protocol)
- Model Context Protocol server that exposes Tuco AI to AI assistants. List leads, send messages, build campaigns — all in natural language from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client. Currently in alpha; APIs may change.
- "Unlimited" iMessage marketing claim
- Every iMessage platform — Sendblue, Blooio, Linq Blue, Tuco AI — sends through Apple's infrastructure, which imposes anti-spam thresholds per Apple ID. 'Unlimited' is marketing language; the cap is real and Apple-enforced. Tuco publishes the actual numbers: 50 new conversations per day per line, 150 messages per day per line.
