In our last post about AI email writing assistants<\/a>, I looked at how these tools can help with your cold outreach campaigns along with some pros and cons of using them. This review was written when most AI email tools were novelties. A lot has changed. Here’s the 2026 context before you read on.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you haven\u2019t read <\/span>Part 1<\/b> yet, take a few minutes and go back to get a basic overview of what AI email tools are all about and how they can mostly help but sometimes hurt your lead generation process using cold emails.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This time, I\u2019m going to get into some specifics by testing a selection of some of the more familiar names out there in the AI email tool space along with our own, new integration \u2014 an AI-assisted composition tool for Woodpecker. The idea is to give you an up-close look at the tools that are likely on any shortlist of options and share our thoughts on what it\u2019s like to use them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ll also take a look at (and rate) their output \u2014 the actual emails they generate using prompts from us. I will use the exact same input for all platforms to keep the playing field equal and will provide as much information as the various platforms ask (or don\u2019t ask) for.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So, with those ground rules out of the way, let\u2019s get up close and personal with a variety of AI email writing assistants that you might use to enhance your cold email outreach!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Smart Copy by Unbounce (formerly Snazzy.ai)<\/span><\/a><\/h2>\n

I\u2019ll start with a platform that has recently changed names due to being acquired by Unbounce, the landing page builder. Smart Copy by Unbounce (I\u2019ll just call it \u201cSmart Copy\u201d from here) offers users nearly 50 templates for creating content of all kinds, from blog posts to ads for various formats to, of course, landing pages.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our focus here is on emails and, in addition to cold outreach emails, Smart Copy also offers dedicated templates for other types of emails, like content for VC pitches, Angel investors and Thank You messages.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I signed up for their free trial, which just required an email verification and everything was ready to go. Free accounts start with 9 \u201ccredits\u201d but they don\u2019t make it clear how many emails that translates into (although they do tell you how much it costs to buy more credits).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Smart Copy has a free trial so you can see what it\u2019s all about with no obligation. The free trial doesn\u2019t require a credit card and, interestingly, there is no time limit on it. It\u2019s even called the \u201cFree Forever\u201d plan, which sounds really nice but, as you may guess, comes with limited functionalities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Getting started is easy. Just tell Smart Copy what you want to write (emails, of course\u2026) and how often you write them:<\/span><\/p>\n\"screenshot\n

When it was time to enter the inputs that Smart Copy asked for, this is what we used:<\/span><\/p>\n

Description – We are offering sales training for large teams in developed and successful companies. We want to set up a discovery call to discuss it.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Audience – Sales Managers<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Keywords – Training course<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

It\u2019s easy enough to follow Smart Copy\u2019s user interface and when you get to the right place, you\u2019ll see a blue \u201cWrite for me\u201d button. Here are the three emails we got with the inputs listed above:<\/span><\/p>\n
