A hello
nobody can fake.

Turn every new signup into a personal video hello from a real person — and every reply into public, unforgeable proof that someone showed up.

Not AI avatars. Not a drip sequence. Real people, real replies.

The week a signup goes silent

Someone just joined. What lands next decides whether they stay.

Welcome to our list!

Hi {{first_name}},

Thanks for subscribing. We send updates every week…

A template, from an address nobody answers. Nothing about it says a person is back there.

Taylor recorded this for you, Ana

Twenty seconds, your name, a real face — and a reply box right underneath it.

Watch & reply

A person, in your branding, who can be answered. And often is.

How it works

Five beats, about a minute of someone’s day

  1. 01

    Signup

    Their site calls one API endpoint the moment someone joins. Idempotent, so a retry never sends twice.

  2. 02

    Buzz

    The team gets a push. One tap opens the camera with the script already on screen, their name in it.

  3. 03

    Send

    A branded email with the video and the words, in your colours, your logo, from your address.

  4. 04

    Reply

    They watch and answer in the browser, by text or video. No account, no install. First reply means Connected.

  5. 05

    Proof

    The welcome joins your public community page, and the thread carries on 1:1 in the app.

The stamp

Every checkmark is a real reply.

Anyone can claim a community is full of real people. A Connected stamp is the one thing that proves it: written by our server the first time a person who received a private link comes back and answers. One per welcome, signed, and impossible to create from the outside.

It means a human answered a human. Nothing more — not a sale, not an endorsement, and never a claim about who they are.

Proof, not claims

A Connected stamp is written by our server the first time the person who received a private link comes back and replies. One per welcome. The sender cannot create it, and nobody can buy it.

Trust compounds

Forty-seven hellos from the same founder, in forty-seven places, answered thirty-one times. That is a story no landing page can tell about itself.

It’s measurable

Sent, opened, replied, connected. Real funnel numbers you can put in a deck, per team member and per source.

Make it yours

Everything a real brand needs, nothing it doesn’t

Your brand, end to end

Logo, colours, font, corner radius, button, every line of copy — across the email, the welcome page and the community page. Style one surface, then apply it everywhere. Only a small “Sent with Vidrip” line is ours.

Your address

Send as your name through Vidrip, or connect your own SMTP server and send as you. Replies go back to whoever recorded the welcome.

Nothing to install, for them

Receiving, watching and replying all happen in the browser. They can send a video back without ever making an account.

A team, not an inbox

Every signup pushes the whole team, and a claim expires after fifteen minutes so nothing sits waiting on one person. Replies reach everyone.

Real senders only

A community is opened by someone verified through LinkedIn or approved by us, so a welcome always comes from a person who exists. No access token is ever stored.

Honest by default

One-click unsubscribe on every welcome, honoured across every community automatically. Text replies are moderated. A welcome always sends, even if your mail setup isn’t finished.

For developers

One key. One POST. Any stack.

Drop a signup into the queue from wherever it happens, then read it back to see whether that person watched and whether they wrote back. Batch a hundred at a time, patch them, dismiss them.

Watch a stranger become a member

The whole funnel in one view: who signed up, who got welcomed and how fast, who opened, who watched it to the end, who wrote back. Split by source, by API key and by team member, with the numbers exportable the moment someone asks for them.

A more human internet

It starts with one person saying hello to another, on purpose, by name.

Communities is live in beta. Creating one takes a verified person and about five minutes.
