After months of research, user feedback, and countless hours of development, we overhauled the Drag & drop newsletter editor with advanced functionality that’ll revolutionize the way you create newsletters.

Let’s dive in and cover all the new goodies including inline editing (no more sidebar text!) and the ability to save customized blocks for later. 😱 And if that doesn’t have your heart racing, we’re kicking things off with the big, big news: Your AI writing assistant. →


The first thing you’ll notice is the revamped interface which allows you to easily locate the blocks you need and streamline your workflow. And that’s just the beginning. Here are our favorite new features that will bring advanced functionality to your newsletters and a smile to your face.

When it came down to designing the new Drag & drop editor, the main goal was to create something straightforward and uncomplicated for users.

Powered by advanced machine learning from OpenAI, you can now generate relevant, engaging email text by asking the AI-powered writing assistant. Simply input a brief description of your desired topic, and the AI assistant immediately writes the content saving you valuable time and effort.

Whether you need help with headlines, product descriptions, or even full newsletters, the new AI writing assistant is your personal wordsmith, ensuring your newsletters captivate and resonate with your audience.

Imagine writing a 200-word email in less than a minute! Utilizing AI-generated content in your emails can dramatically speed up the process of writing emails. This is a big bonus whether you’re a huge business sending out a lot of emails, or a solopreneur wearing too many hats to spend hours on your newsletters. 

With the right prompts, you can leverage personalized and optimized product descriptions designed to resonate with your target audience. By describing your audience’s preferences, AI can focus on the elements that matter like the right keywords, effective language style, optimal length and structure.

Personalize your AI-generated content in the language of your audiences. But it doesn't stop there. As your business ventures into new markets, the AI writing assistant is your linguist par excellence. By prompting AI to produce content written as a native speaker, it can handle cultural nuances surprisingly well, seamlessly translating and localizing your content.

Tap into a vast well of possibilities, unveiling concepts and suggestions that you might not have otherwise considered. The AI writing assistant can suggest ideas you didn't think of, enriching your content. Let the AI assistant be your muse, fueling your imagination and propelling your creativity to new heights.

I love that feeling of taming the dragon of chaos. Especially when that chaos turns into a new product feature that helps you succeed!
