Frequently asked questions about Twain
What is a Twain Agent?
An Agent represents you as a seller and holds your company context, product positioning, tone, and one or more Personas (ICPs you're targeting). Every campaign you run is attached to an Agent, and it tells Twain who is doing the outreach and why someone should care. Create an Agent by entering your company website domain, which Twain reads to pre-fill setup with product description, positioning, and suggested Personas.
How do credits work in Twain?
One credit equals one lead for research or bespoke messaging. You pay once to research a lead, and all future sequence changes are free. Credits stay valid for 2 months on any active subscription with rollover. Unused credits roll over but caps vary by plan. Regenerate messages for free after the initial research credit is used.
Can I add team members to Twain?
Yes, you can add teammates for free - everyone taps into the same shared credit pool. There is no limit on team members, and they all access your shared credits. This is different from per-seat pricing models where you pay for each user.
Does Twain require prompt engineering?
No, Twain does not require prompt engineering. The platform uses dynamic frameworks where you can drop in a proven template or just an idea, and Twain instantly builds, adapts, and tailors unique copy to your style. This eliminates the need for complex prompt setup.
How does Twain ensure email deliverability?
Twain ensures high deliverability by generating unique sequences for every lead without using spintax. It personalizes at scale based on deep research, making it easier to avoid spam filters and land on the inbox. Each prospect gets a uniquely created value proposition backed by deep research into what's recent and relevant about them.
What integrations does Twain support?
Twain integrates with Clay, HubSpot, Salesforce, Apollo, and other CRM/sequencing tools. It's API-first and runs through native integrations in Clay, your own API builds, or MCP in Claude Code. The platform syncs with your CRM and connects with your stack however it works, with no lock-in.
Can one Agent power multiple campaigns?
Yes, one Agent can power multiple campaigns. You would typically create a new Agent only if you're selling a different product or representing a different company. The domain identifies the product the Agent represents and cannot be changed after creation.
How does Twain's research work?
Twain takes your campaign idea (reason for reaching out), then picks the most relevant pain point, USP, and social proof from your persona. It generates unique value propositions for every single lead, even when they work at the same company. Twain then does deep research to find what's recent and relevant about the lead and account based on your value proposition.
What is included in the Free Plan?
The Free Plan includes limited access to core features with no billing required. It is designed to provide essential functionalities to get you started with Twain. The Free Plan begins automatically after your 14-day Pro trial period ends. It has limited access to features and usage limits compared to paid plans.
Can Twain review my Agent setup?
Yes, on the right side of the Agent editor, the Agent is aware of all your settings and has web access. Click 'Review my setup' and it will analyze your configuration and suggest improvements. You can then ask it to apply changes directly from that chat interface.
