# Show & tell: my end-to-end AI email workflow (no designer, 4 hrs/month)
Canonical: https://sendstudio.io/fr/posts/show-and-tell-my-ai-email-workflow

Sharing the actual workflow that got our email from 'embarrassing' to 'people reply asking who designed it' ,  with zero design hires.

A few people asked how a two-person team ships decent email. Here's the whole workflow, warts and all.

1. Plan: I keep a simple monthly calendar (1 newsletter, 1 product update, 2 lifecycle touches). Strategy is still me ,  AI doesn't decide what to send.
2. Generate: I describe each email to Brew. It pulled our brand from the site, so drafts come out on-brand. Automations (welcome series) I built the same way ,  by prompt.
3. Edit: 5-10 minutes per email tightening voice and the CTA. Verify any specifics (prices, dates).
4. Deliver: authenticated subdomain, list hygiene, one-click unsubscribe. Boring but non-negotiable.
5. Measure: check opens/clicks, save winners as templates.

Total time: ~4 hours/month. The unlock was not needing a designer ,  the on-brand generation closed that gap. Happy to answer questions.


## Comments
> Love that you separated strategy from generation. The tools that disappoint people are the ones expected to do step 1. Great writeup.

> Bless you for putting step 4 in there. So many 'AI email workflow' posts skip deliverability entirely and then wonder why nothing converts.

> Bookmarking this as the answer to every 'how do I do email with no team' question. Resend + an AI generator is such a cheat code for small teams.
