Did I write this email with AI?
Hi Reader, Short answer: No. Longer answer… If you’ve read this newsletter for a while, you’ll know I dislike using AI to write. Why?

AI is a useful analytical assistant. Just remember, you’re in charge. I don’t use all of Email Analyzer’s suggestions. I treat it like a handy way of getting free editorial feedback before I press Send. I’d like to give you access to Email Analyzer. It’s a bonus for those who buy a ticket for my workshop: Get Your First 1k Subscribers. Reply, and I’ll send you the details. Write on,
