What AI sequencing means here
An AI follow-up sequence is a series of messages that a person would normally write and send by hand, planned and drafted by AI instead. The AI does not send anything on its own: you review it and switch it on.
In startbuddi, describe the sequence to Chip, for example "follow up new enquiries three times over a week, then create a task". Chip plans the steps, writes the emails and WhatsApp messages in your brand voice and saves a draft. For a single lead, Nurture with Chip drafts a short sequence from their history.

What is AI sequencing?
Using AI to plan and write a series of follow-up messages. In startbuddi, Chip drafts the sequence and you check it before it runs.

Building with Chip uses Chip credits, which every plan includes monthly. The rule-based suggestions are free.
