AI Email Marketing Without Sounding Like a Robot

The problem with AI emails

Most AI-generated emails are obvious. They're too polished, too structured, and too generic. They use phrases nobody actually says: 'leverage synergies,' 'unlock your potential,' 'in today's landscape.' They read like a LinkedIn post written by a committee.

People can tell. And they stop opening them.

What makes AI emails work

Use AI for the structure, not the voice. Let it suggest the email sequence order, the key points, the subject line options. Then rewrite the actual words in your own voice.

Keep them short. Keep them useful. End with one clear action, not three. And always read the email out loud before you send it — if it sounds weird when spoken, it'll sound weird when read.

My process

Step one: tell AI what the email sequence is for and what the reader should do at the end. Step two: let it draft the structure and key points. Step three: rewrite every email in my own words. Step four: read each one aloud. Step five: if I wouldn't send it to a friend, I rewrite it.

One rule

The best AI emails are the ones where the reader can't tell AI was involved. If your email sounds like it came from a robot, you haven't finished editing it.
