AI cold email tools

Anyone using AI to write or edit their sequences? I'm testing out both Lavender and Regie right now and I'm curious what other people are using.

Which works the best?

I've not used any of them, but I'm familiar with Lavender and have heard good things about it. Whatever that's worth lol.

Yeah, I won a year subscription to Pro during an event. I'm using it, but I'm probably not using it enough. I don't find the free version all that helpful unfortunately.

Every AI anything has a certain AI flavor to it - great for surfacing ideas and themes, very recognizable for "voice".
I write my own.

Yeah, I'm definitely having trouble getting any of the AI writers to sound anything like me. So far I've been using them mainly for feedback and trying to train myself to be better at cold outreach. Can't figure out which one I like best, though. They're all just okay.

Lavender is good for tweaking

Agreed! I like that they offer suggestions and give a score. I don't always accept all the suggestions, but it's nice to have the instant feedback.

Exactly. It's good for a quick second opinion.
The mobile preview is the feature that sold me.

Snapchat My AI, you need a bit of prompting but it's pretty good. I use AI all the time for drafts and then just customize it

Check out Allbound, I liked the trial of it that my company had.

I didn't even know they did AI writing! They're the partnership tool, right?

Eh, they're better for feedback than for writing as far as I've seen. I haven't loved the drafts they've made for me. And sometimes the LinkedIn scraping is old. So it'll give me info about someone's position from a year ago instead of their current one. Always double check that.

I am big on writing my own for what it's worth. Haven't tried any tools though

AI is good for short personalized email parts - think dynamic fields - rather than whole emails.

Y'all need to check out Clay.com. Once you get that synced up and running, you can automate a ton of the research you're doing and have it help you craft super relevant messaging.

Oh, nice! Automating the research would rock

One of my SDRs just showed me CoffeeAI today. Hyper personalized emails that factor in your company website and the targets LI page.

Unlike Lavender (which we use) this thing writes the emails. Some of them were corny but they scored 90s in Lavender.

No metrics to report, and not an endorsement my me at all, but it was definitely an interesting tool to keep in mind.

Oh, cool! I haven't heard of that, but I'll try it out! Love that they scored so high.

Been writing my own, have used Lavender previously and may give it a go here soon once I can narrow down some consistent messaging.

AI can help with suggestions but it shouldn’t write it all for you.

I've been liking the feedback the AI tools give me, but I don't let them write my emails (yet). I'd kind of be okay with being replaced by AI, though.

I have not used these but will have to try some of these out this week. Typically I just write my own.

Yeah, the consensus seems to be that they're better for edits and ideation than for writing, but worth a shot!

May get flak but GPT.
Have created my own templates, and tell GPT where to personalize and how. Took lot of examples but it figures it out.
Feed it specific data from websites or press releases. Tell it to pull X information and put in in Y paragraph.

I've created some sequences with it and it works so well! Took me a bit to figure it out, but it does a great job! Thanks for the tip on the prompts!
