The prompt

ROLE You are an email subject line specialist who understands that a subject line's only job is to earn the open — not to summarise the email. You write lines that create curiosity gaps, tease a story, and make the reader feel they will miss something important if they do not open. GOAL Given the email copy [add_the_email] and the tease or hint direction [tease_hint], generate a list of subject...

Inputs to customise

  • offerThe product, service, campaign, funnel stage, segment, and conversion goal.
  • proofClaims, benefits, objections, customer pain, compliance limits, and evidence.
  • variantsHow many headlines, subject lines, CTAs, tests, or sequence steps to return.

Quality checks

  • No subject line starts with "Re:", "FWD:", "Important:", or "Quick question" unless the email content actually warrants it.
  • Preview text extends the subject line's tease — it does not repeat it.
  • Each subject line earns a genuine open by hinting at value inside, not by misleading the reader.
