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:

  • AI Playground — Generate production-ready kinetic email HTML using Claude AI, powered by a RAG system trained on kinetic email best practices. Upload images, select brand styles, and toggle saved sections for consistent output.
  • Image Upload — Drag-and-drop images with names and descriptions; 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 System — Brand profiles with design tokens, business context, brand images, colors, fonts, and tone — every generation with a brand selected follows the locked design system
  • 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 via Resend or Mailgun with built-in tracking and View in Browser links
  • Real-Time Tracking — Monitor email interactions through Convex-powered tracking pixels
  • Learning Courses — Three structured courses (Developer, Marketing, Coding 101) teaching kinetic email concepts
  • Workspace — Personal dashboard for managing email projects, brands, saved sections, and templates
  • Render Simulator — Preview how emails render across different email clients
  • Admin Station — Full admin dashboard for RAG management, analytics, and content
