Lavender

Lavender Freemium Intermediate

Lavender scores your draft in real time and flags the lines that read as generic, which is a useful outside check on whether your first line would survive being pasted into someone else's email unchanged. It will not write the personalization for you, but it makes the fake-personalization pattern (broad compliments, no specifics) visible before you hit send. Worth trying once just to see your own defaults reflected back at you.

  • It scores a draft for genuine personalization versus generic filler, not just grammar.
  • Useful as a check on your own blind spots, not a replacement for research.
  • The free tier is enough to test whether the feedback changes how you write.
