Potions
Paid | Email & Community
Overview
Potions is a managed newsletter service that uses AI and human experts to handle the full newsletter production process for its clients. Instead of a self-serve email platform, Potions acts as a dedicated newsletter team. You point it at your existing website, blog, social profiles, and brand assets, and it generates on-brand newsletter content, designs a custom template, and delivers it through your preferred email platform each week. The typical client is a small business, B2B SaaS company, marketing agency, or professional services firm that sees the value of email but cannot prioritize consistent production. Potions uses a blend of AI and human review across a 3-stage quality assurance process to protect against factual errors. Most clients report finishing their email content in about 15 minutes per week. The service includes custom newsletter design and banner, 24-hour support response, 1-1 onboarding and strategy calls, a dedicated Slack channel, and enriched qualified leads each month on the Starter plan. Higher tiers add drip campaigns, integration assistance, branding removal, and growth strategy consultations. The Power plan adds custom LinkedIn rollout strategies, strategic GTM coaching, and custom data ingestion.

How It Works
Potions works as a managed service rather than a self-serve tool. During onboarding, the team pulls in your website, blog, social profiles, and brand assets to establish your content style. If you want original content, Potions conducts a content interview with you or someone on your team and turns the transcript into newsletter copy. Each newsletter cycle, Potions produces a draft with custom banner design and curated content, then sends it through your chosen email platform. You retain review rights but the default is hands-off delivery. A 3-stage quality assurance process checks for factual errors: a secondary AI model flags issues, a human expert reviews flagged content, and the final draft goes to you for approval before sending. Subscriber growth is available as an add-on at $2 per engaged, in-demographic subscriber added to your list, with a $500 per month minimum. The Teams plan adds drip campaigns, integration assistance, and branding removal. The Power plan adds custom LinkedIn rollout strategies, strategic GTM coaching, and custom data ingestion for enterprise clients.
