A cold email is read in a few seconds by someone who owes you nothing. If it opens with generic praise, explains your whole company and ends with three requests, it is deleted. The Cold Email tool is an AI cold email generator that keeps the message short and personal: one real reason for writing, the value in two sentences and one easy question.
You enter the recipient's name and role and explain who you are, what you offer, why it matters to this person now and the next step you want. The tool writes three subject lines without clickbait or fake Re:, an opening based on your reason for writing, one low-effort call to action and a polite opt-out line.
Below the first email you also get a follow-up of 40 to 70 words to send after three to five working days. The tool is part of the Email family, next to Sales Pitch.
What you get
- Three subject line options of up to 45 characters, with no clickbait and no fake Re: or Fwd:
- A first email of about 60 to 120 words with a specific opening
- The value to the recipient in one or two sentences, with a result only if your brief gives one
- One call to action phrased as a simple question, plus a one-line opt-out
- A follow-up of 40 to 70 words to send after three to five working days

Name and role, e.g. Giulia Rossi, Head of Marketing at Acme

Who you are, what you offer, why it matters to this person now and the next step you want, e.g. a 15-minute call.

Hi Giulia,
I saw that Acme has just opened two new stores. I run a small video studio that makes short opening videos for social media, showing the space and the team in under a minute.
Would you be open to a 15-minute call next week?
If this is not relevant, just let me know and I will not write again.

Tips for better results
- Give a reason that applies only to this person, such as a recent opening, a hire or an article.
- Ask for one small step. A short call is easier to accept than a demo and a proposal.
- Only mention results you can prove. The tool will not add figures, so the ones you give must be true.
Who uses it, and for what
Freelancer looking for clients
Write to a company that has just launched a project where your skills fit.
B2B sales rep
Draft a first contact for a prospect, then adapt the opening for each account.
Founder seeking partners
Introduce your product to a possible distributor or integration partner with one clear request.
Limits and good practice
- It does not find email addresses, build lists or send emails in bulk.
- It will not claim a relationship that does not exist or invent shared contacts.
- You are responsible for the privacy and anti-spam rules that apply to your outreach, such as GDPR in the EU.
Frequently asked questions
How long should a cold email be?
Short enough to read on a phone in one go. The tool keeps the first email to about 60 to 120 words, enough for a specific opening, the value in one or two sentences and one question. Anything longer belongs in the call you are asking for.
How do I write a cold email subject line?
Keep it short, specific and honest. The tool gives you three options of up to 45 characters that refer to the recipient's situation or your offer. It never uses fake Re: or Fwd:, which mislead the reader before the email is even opened.
When should I send a follow-up to a cold email?
A common practice is to wait three to five working days. The tool writes a follow-up of 40 to 70 words for that moment, which briefly recalls your first message and repeats the question. After one follow-up without an answer, it is usually best to stop.
Is cold emailing legal under GDPR?
Rules depend on the country and on whether you write to a business or a private person. In general you need a legitimate reason, a relevant message and an easy way to opt out. The tool adds an opt-out line, but check the rules that apply to you.
Can I write cold emails in other languages?
Yes. Choose your recipient's language in the settings and the email is written in it, even if your brief is in English or Italian. Names of people, brands and products are kept exactly as you wrote them. To try it, create an account and compare plans on the pricing page.
