Draft, approve, and send newsletters with AI assistance

You describe the topic, AI drafts the newsletter, you approve it by email, and it sends automatically to your list.

How the work actually flows

A straight line. A person has to approve before it continues.

The problem it solves

Writing a newsletter every week takes longer than you'd like, and you still want final say before anything goes to your list. Doing it all by hand means drafting, formatting, and sending are each separate chores eating into your day.

Who it fits

Marketers, community managers, or small business owners who send regular newsletters but want to save time drafting.

How it works

  1. You fill out a short form with the topic, audience, and sender details
  2. The system logs your input to a spreadsheet and drafts a subject line and newsletter body with AI
  3. You receive an email preview with a link to approve the draft
  4. Once you approve it, the newsletter is formatted and sent to your subscriber list automatically
What you get

Newsletters ready for your final approval

You get a fully drafted newsletter with subject line and body written for your topic, ready for you to approve before it goes out.

What you get

A finished newsletter delivered to your subscriber list after your one-click approval.

What you need

An OpenAI API key, a Google account for Sheets and Gmail, and a SendGrid account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
