Run a self-serve email newsletter with AI-written content

People subscribe to a topic through a form, and AI writes and emails them fresh content on their chosen schedule.

How the work actually flows

A straight line. Runs once per each subscriber due today.

The problem it solves

You want to send subscribers regular content on topics they care about, but writing something new for every person on every schedule by hand isn't realistic. Managing sign-ups, send timing, and unsubscribes on top of that turns into a part-time job.

Who it fits

Businesses or creators who want to offer a personalized content or newsletter subscription without writing every issue themselves.

How it works

  1. Someone signs up through a form with their topic and preferred frequency
  2. Their details are saved to Airtable
  3. Runs every morning to check who's due for content that day
  4. AI writes the text and generates an image for each subscriber's topic
  5. Emails the content to the subscriber, with an unsubscribe link included
What you get

Subscribers who get content nobody had to write for them

People can sign up for a topic and frequency they choose, and they'll get freshly written content delivered right on schedule.

What you get

A personalized email delivered to each subscriber on their chosen schedule, with an easy way to unsubscribe.

What you need

An Airtable account, an OpenAI API key, and a Gmail 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.
