How to Write Emails With AI That People Open

Writing emails with AI works best when you give it three inputs: the audience segment, the goal of the email, and the tone. A prompt like 'write a re-engagement email for B2B SaaS trial users who have not logged in for 14 days, goal is to get one click, tone is friendly and direct' produces a usable draft in seconds. The gap most people hit is writing subject lines that do not compete with inbox noise. At aidowith.me, the Email Campaign route covers 10 steps in about 1 hour 30 minutes. It includes tested subject line formulas, body copy structures for 5 email types, and a prompt template for each one. You finish the route with a complete 5-email sequence ready to load into your email tool. The route focuses on results, not copywriting theory. Average email open rates for AI-drafted campaigns using this system run 25 to 40 percent when the audience segmentation is tight.

The Problem and the Fix

Without a skill

  • Generic AI email drafts read like templates. Without specific audience context, the output sounds like everyone else's emails.
  • Subject lines written without a formula get open rates below 15%. The right structure lifts opens to 30% or higher.
  • Writing a 5-email sequence manually takes 4 to 6 hours. With a structured AI workflow, it takes 45 minutes.

With aidowith.me

  • Use a 3-part prompt structure: audience, goal, and tone to get usable email drafts on the first run.
  • Apply subject line formulas from the route to push open rates above 25% without A/B testing everything.
  • Build a complete 5-email sequence in one session using the route's prompt templates for each email type.

How It Works

1

Define your audience segment and goal

Write a 2-sentence description of the recipient and what you want them to do after reading the email. This context drives every subsequent prompt in the sequence.

2

Draft each email with a structured prompt

Use the route's template: audience, goal, tone, and word limit. Run it for each of the 5 email types: welcome, nurture, offer, re-engagement, and win-back.

3

Edit subject lines with a formula

Apply the 3 tested subject line formulas from the route to each email draft. Pick the highest-tension option for each email and run it through the open rate checker.

Questions

Give the AI specific context: who the recipient is, what they want, and what you need them to do. Then apply a subject line formula. The curiosity gap formula works well for cold outreach: 'The [adjective] thing about [topic] most [audience] miss.' The direct benefit formula works for warm lists: '[Number] ways to [desired outcome] by [timeframe].' Test both on the same list to find what resonates. The aidowith.me Email Campaign route includes 5 tested formulas with examples.

Yes. Give the AI your brand voice guidelines, audience segment, and campaign goal at the start of the session. Then prompt it to write each email in sequence, referencing what came before. A full 5-email drip sequence takes about 45 minutes with the right prompt templates. You will still edit each draft for specific product details and brand voice, but AI handles the structure, transitions, and persuasion framework. The editing pass takes 10 to 15 minutes per email.

ChatGPT and Claude both produce strong email drafts when given specific prompts. ChatGPT handles conversational, direct tones well. Claude produces longer, more structured emails suited to nurture sequences. For cold outreach and subject line generation, ChatGPT Plus with GPT-4o is the fastest option. For detailed multi-section newsletters, Claude is a strong choice. Both tools integrate with Notion, Google Docs, and email platforms like Mailchimp through Zapier if you want to automate the workflow.
