Now in beta Rufus by Vaitros · Marketing and sales operator

Marketing and sales shouldn't take twelve tools. It's one motion.

Rufus runs the marketing and sales work you don't have time for — on the tools you already own. It drafts every message. You approve every message. Nothing goes out without you.

Free Trial

Connect your tools and send a few messages — no card needed. Sign in if you already have a seat.

Out of stealth, entering beta. Private workspaces, limited seats — built with the first cohort of founders and revenue teams. Public product tour paused until after some beta.

What
What Rufus is, in one paragraph, before you compare it to anything else.

What is Rufus?

Rufus is one supervised operator over the tools you already run. It replaces the dozen point products that sit between wanting to grow and actually growing — social scheduling, newsletter, webinar funnel, signal-based prospecting, transcript-to-copy, short-form video, LinkedIn outreach, analytics — and it drives your own CRM, mailer and calendar rather than replacing them.

01 · Replicated

The tools, rebuilt inside

Twelve categories of marketing and sales software are native features of the workspace, not integrations you maintain.

02 · Bring your own

Your rails, one control pane

CRM, prospecting data, mailer and calendar stay yours and stay paid for. Rufus drives them from one screen instead of you living in four tabs all day.

03 · Supervised

A gate on every touch

Every email, post, connect and publish waits in an approval queue. You are the last step, always.

Replicated inside Rufus

Twelve subscriptions you never take on.

Each function below is one you'd normally buy as its own product. Rufus replicates it natively — same workspace, same buyer record, same approval queue — so it never becomes another line item, another login, or another renewal to manage.

Where the money goes back
Estimates

Software you don't buy. Headcount you don't add.

$349–$863/mo

Software you don't buy

Twelve functions a revenue team normally licenses separately are replicated inside Rufus, so they never become a subscription, a login or a renewal.

$5,000–$10,000/mo

Marketing headcount you don't hire

A marketing hire runs $5K/mo entry-level, $10K/mo experienced — and takes months to ramp. Rufus does the same work today, on the tools you already own, without the ramp, the payroll, or the risk of a bad hire. Small businesses save one hire; midsize teams often save two.

Both figures are estimates, not guarantees. Software cost is the summed list price of the live functions in the table above. Headcount savings reflect the marketing work Rufus takes on and vary with team size, industry, and motion.

Discipline

Every decision, tested. Every result, learned.

Big companies run every marketing decision as a test — four variants of an ad, two subject lines, one holdout group — because they know their hypothesis is probably wrong. Small businesses don't test. They pick one ad, one message, one channel, and go all in. Half work. Half fail. Nobody learns why.

Rufus brings that testing discipline to the tools you already own. Before you send that campaign to your whole list, Rufus asks: "Want to test two subject lines against 25% of the list first, then send the winner to everyone? Same total send, three days slower, but you'll learn what your list actually responds to for the next fifty campaigns."

Every result — the wins and the losses — becomes memory. Your voice, your timing, your channel mix, your audience's actual behavior. Sharpened by evidence, not opinion.

Test where it counts.

Subject lines, ad creative, LinkedIn openers, landing page copy — Rufus splits, sends, and reports.

Know when not to test.

Small lists and small budgets can't test everything. Rufus knows the difference between what's testable and what's a judgment call.

Compound the results.

Every test result becomes context Rufus uses on the next one. A year in, Rufus knows your business better than a new hire ever would.

How
How work moves through Rufus: your accounts in, your approval in the middle, results in your CRM at the end.

How does Rufus work?

Connect a category, not a vendor. Rufus reads the signal, drafts the work, and stops at the gate. You approve, edit or kill it. What ships is written back to your CRM, and every edit you make becomes memory.

Step 01
Signal arrives
Site visit, webinar reply, list import, CRM change.
Step 02
Rufus drafts
The right message, to the right person, at the right time — written in your voice.
Step 03 · the gate
You approve
Nothing leaves the workspace until a human clears it.
Step 04
It ships on your rails
Your mailer, your LinkedIn, your calendar, your CRM record.
Step 05
It compounds
Every edit and outcome sharpens voice and timing.
Human in the loop

The gate is the product.

Rufus drafts the work across your stack — you approve every email, post, connect and publish before it reaches a buyer.

  • Approval gates on every outbound touch
  • Claims and copy QA before anything queues
  • Least-privilege keys and OAuth
  • Audit log and one pause switch

Keep these. Stop living in their tabs.

These are the tools you already pay for and should keep. Rufus doesn't try to replace HubSpot or Google Calendar — it just stops you from having to live in them all day. One screen, all the tools, your data still where it lives.

Why
Why the category needs an orchestrator, and why supervision is not a limitation.

Why does Rufus exist?

Because the marketing and sales stack was assembled tool by tool, and nobody actually owns the work. A dozen products each hold a fragment of your customer, each bill their own subscription, and the seam between them is you — copying text between tabs at 10pm. Autonomous "AI SDRs" don't fix that seam; they hide it behind sends you never saw and results you can't trust.

One motion beats twelve tools

The buyer does not experience your stack in pieces. Orchestration is what makes awareness, consideration and engagement one sequence instead of three teams' worth of work.

Your reputation is the asset

Domain, LinkedIn profile, brand voice. An approval gate is how AI gets to run at volume without spending the one thing you cannot re-buy.

Leverage without headcount

You should be able to run a full marketing and sales motion with the team you have — even if that team is you — on the tools you've already paid for.

Failure is data, not a dead end.

Most tools quietly delete the campaigns that flop. Rufus does the opposite. Every result — the wins and the losses — becomes context for the next decision. Which subject line pulled, which one didn't, which channel worked for this audience, which offer got ignored. A year in, Rufus knows your business's actual patterns, not the industry-average assumptions a new hire would bring.

Getting started

Connect. Run. Compound.

01

Connect your stack

Point Rufus at your CRM, prospecting, email, and social categories.

02

Human in the loop

Rufus drafts and queues the work. You review, edit, and approve before anything goes out.

03

It remembers and improves

Every edit and outcome becomes memory — voice and timing sharpen over time.

Let Rufus run the work you don't have time for.

Beta workspaces are private and limited. Bring your CRM, your mailer, and one part of your marketing you've been meaning to fix. The public product tour comes back after we’ve run some beta.

Free Trial

Connect your tools and send a few messages — no card needed. Sign in if you already have a seat.

AI models like Claude, ChatGPT, or Grok are brilliant as generalist assistants that help with tasks you bring to them, whereas Rufus is an operator, with tools built in, pre-wired integrations and a proactive layer that leverages industry and functional benchmarks, prompts you and works for you to get more things done better.
