The Neura SDK allows you to tune your product's performance to each individual user depending on their activites and context. With your user's permission, your app gets better insights to help you create more useful features, ultimately creating happier, more loyal users.   

How does it work? 
Neura's SDK does the hard work on integrating lots of data sources. Our proprietary Machine Learning algorithms crunch this data to discover actionable insights about your user's past, present, and predicted future behavior. Use API calls to request only data that's useful to your app's features.

• 55+ User Data Sources such as Fitbit, Jawbone, Weather apis, etc. 
• 9 Phone Sensors such as Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Light sensors, GPS, Screen State, etc. 
• Conditional States such as phone is charging/not charging, almost out of battery/full battery, headphones out/not, etc. 

Why should your app use the Neura SDK?  

• SAVE TIME & RESOURCES: Save development time. Complete 55+ integrations in one day with Neura’s SDK. Manage one SDK, not numerous integrations. 
• INCREASE ENGAGEMENT: Get more app launches by using Neura to contact your users at the best time for them.
• INCREASE RETENTION: Grow your revenue by reengaging your customers with relevant behavioral insights.
• IMPROVE YOUR PRODUCT: Understand your users and their context better to make better product decisions.
  
  

How have other developers used Neura's SDK?
Each app uses Neura a little bit differently. Examples of popular features built with Neura's SDK include:  

• MESSAGING - A social network app can automatically reply to a friend's text with “I’m asleep right now. Will text you when I wake up" when the user is sleeping. 
• SMART APP LAUNCHERS - An app launcher widget can easily change the actions it shows its user based on their location of home, work, or gym.
• SAFETY - A text app can automatically text “I’m driving. Text you later” or another custom message when it detects the user is driving.
• HOME AUTOMATION - A smart home app can automatically pre-cool the house when a user is heading home after working out at the gym.
• SMART NOTIFICATIONS - An ecommerce app has a better understanding of when their user is free or busy, so they can send a special offer when their user is most likely to act on it.
• SMART REMINDERS - A medication management app now has a better understanding of their user's physical activities to remind them to take their medication when it matters.
