Infrastructure for AI sales agents on Instagram, WhatsApp and other DM channels, built and improved by talking to an LLM over MCP.

MCP Server Control Surface: Exposes agent creation, testing, analysis and improvement as MCP tools, so Claude, Claude Code, Codex or ChatGPT becomes the interface instead of a dashboard.
Cortex Playbook Library: Ships prompt templates, KPI rubrics and anti-patterns distilled from agents that ran in production, so a new agent inherits patterns that already converted rather than starting blank.
Multi-Channel DM Deployment: Connects agents to Instagram, WhatsApp and other direct-message channels where the selling actually happens, without a separate build per channel.
Versioned Changes with Rollback: Every edit to an agent is versioned and instantly reversible, so a bad prompt change during a live launch can be undone rather than debugged under pressure.
Synthetic Conversation Testing: Runs an agent against generated conversations before it reaches a real inbox, surfacing broken qualification logic ahead of launch.
Follow-Ups and Keyword Triggers: Fires scheduled follow-up sequences and keyword-based branches so stalled conversations get reopened automatically.
Built-In CRM and Funnel Analytics: Ninjo Studio provides real-time conversation views, contact records and funnel reporting in one panel for when you want direct oversight.
Payment Recovery Flows: Agents can chase declined payments conversation by conversation, a pattern the team credits for recovering 47 declined payments in a single four-day launch.

Creator and Coach Launches: Running a short high-volume launch where an agent qualifies inbound DMs, handles objections and sends payment links at a pace a human team cannot match.
Instagram Lead Qualification: Filtering hundreds of daily inbound Instagram messages down to the prospects worth a human sales call.
WhatsApp Sales Follow-Up: Reopening conversations that went quiet with timed follow-up sequences instead of leaving them to decay.
Agency Multi-Client Operations: Managing many client agents from a chat interface so a three or four person team can operate over a hundred agents.
Declined Payment Recovery: Having an agent work through failed transactions individually to recover revenue that would otherwise be written off.
Rapid Agent Iteration: Rewriting an agent's qualification logic mid-campaign and rolling back immediately if conversion drops.

A personal AI extension with its own phone number, inbox, and computer that answers calls, handles email, and gets work done in your name.

Own Phone Number: Zinley answers and places calls on a dedicated number, books meetings, follows up, and waits on hold, bringing you in only when a decision is yours.
Own Email Inbox: CC Zinley on a thread and it schedules meetings, negotiates details, and follows up in your tone, dropping the final invite on your calendar.
Own Computer: Runs its own machine and works on the devices you approve, executing multi-step work in the apps you use rather than only chatting about it.
People + Open-Loop Memory: Remembers who matters to you, shared history, and unfinished threads so you never re-explain backstory or lose a follow-up.
Plain-Language Receipts: Every handoff ends with a step-by-step recap of what was called, sent, or done, so you can audit the agent without reading raw logs.
Cross-Channel Reach: The same agent shows up on web, phone, text, email, iMessage, Discord, and Telegram, with mobile and desktop apps coming.
Native Integrations: Connects to Gmail, Slack, Google Calendar, Notion, Linear, GitHub, Drive, Figma, and Stripe so it can act on real work, not just talk about it.
Rule-Bound Autonomy: You set the rules that govern what Zinley may decide on its own and when it must bring you in, keeping decisions under your control.

Handling Calls You Miss: Zinley answers unknown or unwanted calls on your number, screens candidates, vendors, or delivery, and hands off a summary instead of a voicemail.
Meeting Scheduling By CC: CC Zinley on an email thread and it books the meeting in your tone, dropping the final invite on your calendar without further back-and-forth.
Daily Work Handoffs: Kick off multi-step tasks on your computer — pull a report, update a doc, ship a small change — and get a receipt when it's done.
Cross-Device Continuity: Start a request on desktop and pick it up from your phone, text, or Telegram with the same memory of people and open loops.
Personal Ops For Founders / Executives: Delegate the constant flow of scheduling, follow-ups, and small operational calls to an extension that already knows the players.
Enterprise Deployment: Give teams their own Zinley extensions that share knowledge with the org while representing individual owners on external calls and email.
