This new Contact model offers several benefits:

On Thursday, we introduced Topics, a new way to allow users to manage their email preferences.

You can now:

• Create Topics, which can be opt-in or opt-out by default
• Assign Topics to Contacts
• Send emails with specific Topics

When users manage their preferences, they’ll see which Topics they’re currently subscribed to and can adjust their settings to their liking.

Day 6: One more (AI) thing

On Saturday, we shared three new AI-powered features built to enhance your emails:

• AI Subject Lines
• AI Preview Text
• AI Image Alt Text

All of these new features work for emails in all languages. We detect the language from the body of the email and generate text in the same language.

When used tastefully, AI can help you craft better emails and reach humans instead of spam filters.

One more (AI) thing

Use AI to generate subjects, preview texts, and alt texts in multiple languages.
