## Handwritten emails, by AI

Skyp's AI researches every contact before writing -- their role, recent news, tech stack, open positions. Each email is written from scratch for that person. No templates, no merge fields, no detectable patterns.

## Bot-filtered analytics

Security scanners and Apple MPP inflate open rates on most platforms. Skyp runs every engagement event through a 25-stage filtering pipeline. When you see a number, it reflects real human activity.

### Analytics

Track your campaign performance and engagement metrics.
