Kinetic Email Documentation

Kinetic Email is an AI-native email platform evolving toward a full Email Service Provider (ESP). It combines AI-powered email generation, interactive (kinetic) email technology, and a comprehensive learning platform.

BETA v0.5.0

What is Kinetic Email?

Kinetic email refers to interactive HTML emails that use CSS techniques (checkboxes, radio buttons, and the :checked pseudo-class) to create engaging experiences directly in the inbox — no JavaScript required. Think tabbed interfaces, image carousels, surveys, and quizzes, all rendered natively in email clients.

Our platform provides:

  • Prompt-First Homepage — The homepage leads with a prompt box: type an email idea (or pick a starter chip), and the prompt survives sign-up and prefills the AI Playground
  • AI Playground — Generate production-ready kinetic email HTML using Claude AI through a staged copy → blueprint → code pipeline, with 26 automated QA checks and a quality score. Five config tabs: Email Type, Kinetic Features, Color Scheme, Images, and Products. Optionally generate an AMP4Email twin.
  • Image Upload — Drag-and-drop images with names and descriptions in the playground's Images tab; Claude places them contextually in generated emails
  • Saved Sections — Save reusable HTML sections (headers, footers, heroes, CTAs) from generated emails with automatic CSS extraction; toggle them on for future generations
  • Brand Builder — Brand profiles (under "My Brands") with identity, colors, typography, tone, a visual style, business context, CAN-SPAM fields, brand images, and a product catalog — every generation with a brand selected follows the locked design system
  • Products — Per-brand product catalogs (manual entry or CSV import, including auto-detected Shopify exports); selected products inject exact names, prices, images, and URLs into generation
  • View in Browser — Every sent email gets a hosted page at kinetic.email/view/{id} with full kinetic interactivity and tracking
  • Email Sending — Send emails from ai@kinetic.email via Mailgun with built-in tracking and View in Browser links (requires sign-in)
  • Real-Time Tracking — Per-user kinetic tracking databases with action definitions, pixels, real-time Convex dashboards, and CSV export
  • Arc Campaign Designer — React Flow canvas for planning campaigns, with shareable read-only links
  • Learning Courses — Four structured courses (Kinetic Development, Marketing, Coding 101, AI Prompt Lab) teaching kinetic email concepts
  • Workspace — Personal dashboard for managing projects (shareable via email invite), saved emails (with version history and ESP export), brands, and databases
  • Render Simulator — Preview how emails render across different email clients
  • Admin Station — Full admin dashboard for RAG management, analytics, and content
