Flodesk Studio is the brand new AI email design app from Flodesk, and in this video I'm sharing my (almost) initial reactions after getting an early peek at it. It's free while it's in beta, so now is the time to get in and play. What makes Flodesk Studio different is that it isn't just "talk to AI and let AI design your email." The AI was trained on layouts built by real human designers, which means the new templates, cards, stickers, shadows and countdown layouts actually look like something a designer made. In this quick tour I'll show you the chat sidebar and prompting, the new layout options, draggable stickers and shapes, card styles and shadow effects and the countdown timer variations so you can see how far you can push it to look like YOUR brand. But here's the thing... I know I'm only scratching the surface! If you're a balloon artist, photographer or creative entrepreneur who has ever stared at a blank email builder and given up, this one's for you. Flodesk Studio is a standalone app, so you can try it even if you're not on Flodesk yet, and you can export your design as HTML to other platforms. 😉 ~ My (almost) initial reactions to Flodesk Studio ~ It's free while it's in beta ~ Trained on real human designers, not AI slop ~ A look inside: prompting and the chat sidebar ~ The new layouts and shadow effects ~ Draggable stickers and shapes ~ Card layouts and effects ~ Countdown timer styles and layouts ~ Why you're going to love playing with it ▶️ WATCH NEXT: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpfpFiNP9vG6xZbqaRuYGE1erlGitm5KY 💌 TRY FLODESK Get a free trial of Flodesk and if (when) you love it, you'll be granted 25% off your 1st year: https://flodesk.com/c/LETNICOLEHELP 👋 WORK WITH ME See how I can help you set up and simplify your systems: https://www.letnicolehelp.com #Flodesk #FlodeskStudio #EmailMarketing
