How to generate personalized opening lines

Generate for one lead, preview the result and iterate on instructions.

Steps

  1. On the campaign's AI tab, finish the Setup step.
  2. Open Preview and generate for a real lead.
  3. Read it as a recipient. If it sounds like a template, tighten the instructions — be specific about what the line should reference and forbid flattery.
  4. Iterate on two or three different leads before generating for everyone.

What good output looks like

One or two sentences, specific to that company, that a human could not have written about anyone else. If you could paste it into any other email, it is not personalization.

Important notes

Shorter is better. A long AI paragraph at the top of a cold email reads as automation, not research.
