What is Tnuki?
Tnuki is purpose-built AI for life sciences. From pharma and biotech to academic labs, it finds the companies, people, trials and papers you need, all from one chat. It runs on our own dataset of academic labs and biopharma companies, plus 40+ integrated databases and 1B+ contact profiles, and links every result to its source. It also handles the everyday work you'd use ChatGPT for, like decks, documents, spreadsheets and emails. Sales teams use it to find and reach the right buyers; researchers use it to search papers, grants and trials and find the labs behind them.
How is Tnuki different from ChatGPT or Claude?
ChatGPT and Claude are great generalists. Tnuki is built for life sciences, so it searches the way a scientist would. It expands your terms into every way the literature writes them, including synonyms, product names and former names, then searches millions of papers, preprints, grants and trials, down to the Methods sections of open-access papers. It recognizes the same lab, company or person across sources, even under different names, so you get one row with all the evidence instead of duplicates. Results are ranked by fit, linked to their sources, and come with contact info verified across 10+ providers. And its emails are tuned against the usual AI failures: short, specific, no fake personalization, and every claim checked against a source you can click.
How is Tnuki different from ZoomInfo, SciLeads, or AI SDRs?
Each of those tools covers part of the job. ZoomInfo gives you filters over a general business database: strong on company size and job titles, blind to the science. It can’t tell you a company’s lead program, trial phase, or latest readout. SciLeads knows life sciences but works the same way: keyword searches over a dataset that updates on their schedule. AI SDRs like 11x.ai and Artisan send high volumes on autopilot, and you give up control of what goes out. Tnuki does the whole job in one place: it researches accounts deeply, ranks the prospects worth your time, verifies contact info, and drafts outreach. Nothing goes out without your approval.
How does Tnuki find decision makers and their contact info?
In one click, Tnuki maps the people who matter at any account: who they are, what they own, and why they’re the right entry point. Contact info comes from waterfall enrichment: Tnuki checks more than 10 data providers and returns emails and phone numbers only after they pass verification, along with each person’s LinkedIn history.
How does Tnuki keep outreach out of spam?
Quality. An email stays out of spam when it genuinely matters to the person reading it. Tnuki starts by finding the right buyer: companies buy in different ways, and Tnuki hones in on the purchaser your product is actually for. It then researches that person and anchors the draft on one real, verifiable pain point, so each email is written for its reader. Nothing is sent without your approval. That focus protects your domain: inbox providers punish senders over a tiny number of spam complaints, and relevant, human-sounding email keeps replies up and complaints near zero.
Can Tnuki replace my other sales tools?
That’s how most teams use it. Tnuki combines the jobs of a general AI chat, a life science lead database, and a B2B contact database in one tool, so you’re not paying for three subscriptions or hopping between tabs. For our typical customer, that cuts spending on prospecting tools by about half.
Is Tnuki only for life sciences?
Tnuki is purpose-built for life sciences. Coverage is deepest across BioPharma and Academia: biotech, pharma, and the university labs and research institutes around them. It serves the people who sell into that world (diagnostics, lab tools and instruments, CROs and CDMOs, scientific software) and the researchers working in it. It is tuned to the signals that matter here, like clinical and regulatory milestones, FDA actions, grants and funding, and new publications, not a generic company profile.
What data sources does Tnuki use?
Tnuki pairs its own curated database of BioPharma and Academia with live searches on every request, so results are current instead of waiting on a refresh cycle. Its agents read 40+ scientific and regulatory sources (PubMed, ClinicalTrials.gov, NIH RePORTER, openFDA, Semantic Scholar, and more), plus business data covering 1B+ professional profiles and 60M+ companies, with contact info verified across 10+ providers. They also watch news, funding databases, and 1,000+ buying-signal sources. Every result links back to where it came from, so your team can check it.
Can Tnuki do market intelligence, not just prospecting?
Yes. The same research that finds your prospects can write an account dossier, map a therapeutic area or modality, lay out a competitive landscape, and chart the buying committee inside a target account. Whether you’re building pipeline or sizing a market, you get the depth of a research team at the speed of a chat.
How do you say Tnuki?
Tah-noo-kee. Tnuki is named after the tanuki, a symbol of good luck and prosperity in Japan, and is spelled without the first "a". If a search shows you raccoon dogs instead of us, go straight to
