We A/B-tested 23 prompt formulations on 80,000 cold emails. These four — Professional, Casual, Punchy, Value-first — won across every vertical.
Hosting your customers' third-party API keys feels efficient. It's actually a compliance nightmare. Here's the BYO-keys model that ships you to Enterprise faster.

One email every two weeks. Engineering, sales, and the occasional cold-pitched joke. Unsubscribe in one click.
