Youkti
Youkti AI
Agentic outbound platform that turns account signals and relationship data into prioritized plays, personalized sequences, and pipeline actions.
Key features
- ARYA conversational play builder: Describe an outbound play in plain English and ARYA assembles the signal triggers, persona filters, outreach rules and cadence, updating the live config as you talk

- Daily Cockpit: A single morning screen that ranks accounts needing attention, overlays the relevant signals, matches the persona and drafts the sequence hook for one-click push
- Account memory: Keeps a continuous record of contacts, last-touch dates and engagement by business unit so context survives rep turnover and long sales cycles
