Sound familiar? Internal email shouldn’t take this long
Starting from scratch, every single time
Every new campaign means rebuilding the same structure, header, sections, CTA, and footer from zero. That time adds up fast.
Too much time fixing, not enough time writing
Restructuring layouts, tightening copy, adding CTAs — all the low-value work that crowds the time you should spend on strategy.
Accessibility falls through the cracks
Alt text, contrast ratios, and touch targets are easy to miss when you’re moving fast. Harder to fix after you’ve already sent.

Step 1
Draft a full email from a single prompt
Just describe what you need — “write a benefits enrollment reminder with a deadline and a registration button” — and AI Email Builder generates a structured, ready-to-edit email. Layouts, copy, images, and CTAs included.
Step 2
Edit with plain language, not drag-and-drop
Type “make that section blue” or “add three employee spotlights below the header” and the editor updates in real time. It understands what you’ve selected and what the email already contains, so no over-explaining is required.
Step 3
Built-in accessibility and mobile standards
CoAuthor enforces best practices automatically from alt text, buttons, touch targets, contrast ratios, heading hierarchy. You get closer to send-ready without a manual checklist.

“Before Contact Monkey, we had nothing. We had no benchmark. We had no idea what messaging was getting to our employees, how they were best receiving it. We had very limited two-way feedback loops.”

With dynamic content, I can build one email with multiple blocks, with each block tailored to a group. I’m not duplicating emails or copy/pasting. It saves time and reduces mistakes.

Frequently asked questions
AI Email Builder is included on ContactMonkey’s Grow and Enterprise plans It’s built into the plan — not a separate add-on you need to purchase on top.
No. AI Email Builder is available as part of ContactMonkey’s Grow and Enterprise plans. If you’re on one of those plans, it’s already included.
It’s built primarily for internal communications professionals, HR and People Ops teams, and employee experience teams at mid-market and enterprise organizations. It’s also used by champions and admins who build reusable email templates for the rest of their organization.
Three main things: generating a new email draft from a brief (audience, purpose, key points — the AI handles layout and copy), improving an existing email by rewriting specific sections for clarity, tone, or stronger CTAs, and cleaning up a messy draft by tightening content and restructuring it for scanability.
AI Email Builder helps you draft and build emails faster. ConfidenceCheck is a separate AI-powered pre-send review tool that checks your completed email for broken links, accessibility issues, readability signals, and content errors before it’s sent.
