Email AI helps you draft and reply to emails with AI assistance — first drafts, reply suggestions, and a Cold Email Generator for building sequences from scratch.

Two surfaces — important distinction

Email AI is available in two separate places, and they don't share state:

  1. The Gmail Chrome extension — AI assistance inside your Gmail inbox, while you write real emails.
  2. Email AI in the PersistIQ web app — the Email AI section in the top navigation of persistiq.com/app.

These are separate surfaces. Work in the one that matches the task at hand — inbox replies in Gmail, campaign content in the web app.

What it's good for

  • First drafts — a starting point beats a blank page, especially for follow-ups.
  • Reply speed — suggested responses you edit rather than write from scratch.
  • Cold Email Generator — generate sequence drafts for a persona/offer, then apply your judgment and the SEVEN SECOND TEST before anything ships.

What it's not

Email AI doesn't replace research. The snippet line that earns the reply still comes from you. Use AI for structure and speed; keep the personalization human.
