Write cold emails with AI
The short answer
To write a cold email with AI, email your Airbox address with the details — who you're reaching, what you offer, and the ask. Airbox sends it to your own AI and emails back a tight, personalized cold email draft you can review and send from your real address. Forward a prospect's site or a LinkedIn blurb and it tailors the angle.
How to do it
- Get a free Airbox address and connect your AI provider key.
- Email it a prompt with the prospect, your offer, and the call-to-action.
- Get the draft back, tweak with a quick reply, and send it from your own email so it lands like a real message.
Example
Subject: cold email (* @chatgpt write a 90-word cold email to a Head of Ops at a logistics startup; we cut invoice processing time by 70%; ask for a 15-min call *)
Forward their company page or LinkedIn text along with the prompt to personalize the opener.
Good for
- First-touch outreach that doesn't sound templated
- Variations on a winning angle — “give me three subject lines”
- Personalized openers from a prospect's site or profile
- Polite, specific follow-ups when there's no reply
Frequently asked questions
- Will Airbox send the cold emails for me?
- No — and that's intentional. Airbox returns the draft to you so you send it from your own address, which is better for deliverability and keeps you in control. It never emails strangers on its own.
- Can it write a whole sequence?
- Yes. Ask for an initial email plus two or three follow-ups and Airbox drafts the sequence. For ongoing nudges on real threads, see the follow-up guide.
- Is it safe to point Airbox at my real email?
- Yes — that's exactly what Airbox is designed for. Airbox only acts on mail from senders you allow, and it only treats the subject and first body line (or a (* … *) block) as instructions. Everything else in a forwarded email is quarantined as untrusted content and never obeyed for your own security and privacy. Your API keys stay fully encrypted.
- How much does it cost?
- Airbox has a free plan to get started. You bring your own AI provider API key, so you pay the provider directly for the tokens you use — there is no AI markup from Airbox.
