8 Expert-Curated AI Tools For Quicker, Better Email Copywriting
Generative AI has made inroads into almost all areas of digital marketing. HubSpot’s latest report has shed light on some very interesting developments in the use of generative AI for copywriting. Here are some of those:
- 85% of marketers using AI agree that it boosts personalization in content.
- Marketers save around 3 hours and 10 minutes while using gen AI to create content.
- 43% of marketers say that gen AI has been very helpful in creating superior email content.
The benefits are evident. Over-reliance on AI, however, comes at the expense of the human touch that customers naturally still expect. With that in mind, let’s look at the top eight AI tools for email copywriting.
1. Unbounce
Unbounce, a software company based in Canada, is mainly known for creating landing pages for websites. However, it’s not limited to blog posts, Google Ads, and landing pages alone. Unbounce’s Smart Copy, a generative AI tool, is equally useful for creating persuasive sales emails.

2. CleverReach
Did you know that for 81% of B2B marketers, email newsletters are the most used form of content? This is because newsletters are a great way to generate leads, educate customers about your brand, and build lasting relationships.
CleverReach is an AI-powered newsletter software that lets you create newsletters easily and quickly without any prior programming knowledge or experience. The Newsletter Content Generator lets you create newsletter copies, and customize each newsletter for targeted groups.

7. Salesforce Einstein
Salesforce’s Einstein Copy Insights uses natural language processing (NLP) to analyze your email subject lines in order to gather actionable insights based on which you craft better, more engaging subject lines for your future campaigns.
Einstein’s Subject Line Tester Model Card analyzes contact engagement on the basis of subject lines. The Subject Line Tester predicts the performance of your email based on its subject line. You can also compare up to 10 subject lines.

In cases where the subject lines across multiple emails are identical, Einstein groups them in order to compute the average performance rate of the language, which data is fed into all Einstein Copy Insights models for generation language insights and performance predictions.

8. Jasper.ai
Our final AI tool for email copywriting is Jasper.ai. From subject lines to email body to CTAs, this AI copywriter can generate brand-optimized emails in no time. Upon feeding your specific instructions, the tool churns out multiple subject lines, enabling you to A/B/n-test them on different subscriber segments.

Jasper.ai lets you experiment with different tones of voice in order to maximize the chances of your emails being opened by your subscribers. Of course, it depends on how exact your prompts are. So, if you’re looking for a professional subject line, the tool will generate one that is sober, and more direct.
Conversely, if your aim is to intrigue your subscribers with a bit of mystery (in the case of product launch emails, for instance), the tool will generate subject lines that invoke curiosity.
To Sum Up…
Notwithstanding the highly specialized nature of all these AI copywriting tools, it is generally agreed that marketers should prefer combining AI and human efforts in order to enhance customer relationships, and ultimately increase the number of brand loyalists.
Technology lacks the element of genuine surprise. As more people realize how their favorite brands are using AI to reach them, human intervention will be more crucial than ever.
