Your email gets skimmed.
Then it goes unanswered.

Emails today get skimmed and go unanswered, and stylizing one is cumbersome even with generative tools. Polished Emails fixes both. It turns your text into a styled, interactive email — polls, RSVP buttons, KPI tiles, charts, tabs, accordions, animated loops — that recipients tap and answer right inside their inbox, and the answers come back to you.

Write the way you always do and paste it in. The tool reads your text and chooses the interactive pieces that fit — turning numbers into charts, questions into polls, and “can you come?” into an RSVP. If you would like, AI can generate the first draft for you instead: share your instructions in the email you forward or in the tool, and it writes from those. You fine-tune everything in a live editor before sending, and it never invents facts.

No. AI drafting is there if you want it, not in the way if you don't. Paste finished copy and the AI only styles it and picks the interactive blocks — your words go out as you wrote them. Ask for a draft and it writes one from the instructions you give it. Either way you see every block in a live preview before anything sends.

Yes — and it's the fastest way in. After you sign up you get a private forwarding address. Send any email its way — even a rough one with mismatched fonts and images knocked out of alignment, optionally with a note at the top to steer it — and a clean, realigned, interactive version arrives straight back in your inbox, ready to send on. The refined version keeps what made the original recognisable: its brand colour is carried over, and every image goes back where it was in the flow, at its own size rather than stretched to fill the width.

Seven categories, each with its own voice, palette and preferred blocks: Professional, Newsletter, Invitation, Announcement, Thank you, Fun & playful and Birthday. Pick one, or let the tool read your text and choose — a metrics rundown becomes a Professional brief with KPI tiles and a chart; a party becomes an Invitation with an RSVP and a calendar invite.

Yes, on the celebratory categories. When a Birthday or Fun & playful email has no picture of its own, a looping animation is added for you — no prompt, no hunting for a GIF. The loops ship with the tool, so they load without a third party and look the same every time; you can point it at Giphy or Tenor instead, or switch the whole thing off. Animations you already had in a forwarded email are preserved as they were.

Yes. Any email can be recorded as a short episode — either a single narrator or a two-host conversation — and it travels as an MP3 attached to the email itself rather than a link, so it still plays offline and after the email has been cleared from our servers. The category sets the speaking register and the voices, because emphasis that works in writing is silent when read aloud. Capped at three minutes.

Yes — that's the point of one paste. Every style choice is applied as a whole visual identity: palette, card, type, buttons and chart colours all move together, so nothing drifts halfway down the email. Pick one of the five standard style presets — Sunrise, Midnight, Ledger, Bulletin or Boardroom — or let the AI build the look around your own brand colour, which it reads from your text or carries over from an email you forward.

Yes. All interactivity is built with email-safe CSS and no JavaScript. It's fully tappable in Apple Mail and iOS Mail, and the same email automatically falls back to a clean, readable layout in Gmail and Outlook. Polls, star ratings and RSVP buttons are links, so they record responses in every email client. Nothing is ever hidden behind a control the reader cannot operate: where the interactive parts are stripped, every panel simply arrives open.

No. You only ever write text. The tool handles the structure, styling and interactive blocks, and picks from seven categories and five style presets. There's no HTML, no drag-and-drop builder, and no design skills required.

It is free during the free beta — no card, no credits, no tiers. Fair-use limits keep one account from soaking up the shared AI budget: 20 generations a day, 150 a month, and 5 audio episodes a day.

Emails go out from Polished Emails’s own authenticated domain, with your name in the From line and your address in Reply-To — so replies land in your inbox. Nothing to configure, no app password, no DNS. You can also copy the finished HTML into Mailchimp, SendGrid or any other email service.

Polls, star ratings, RSVP buttons with calendar invites, KPI tiles, bar charts, progress bars, timelines, accordions, tabs, image carousels, callouts, buttons, AI-generated images and an attached audio episode — seventeen block types in all, plus the animated loops the celebratory categories add on their own.

Your drafts are encrypted and kept until you delete them; account settings has a switch to delete them automatically after 7, 30 or 90 days if you would rather. Your recipients are never tracked — no pixels, no cookies, no open tracking — and they are only identified if they choose to be: after tapping a poll or RSVP they are asked for a name, email and phone, every field optional and skippable. Your own signed-in usage is linked to your account so we can see where people get stuck. Your data is never sold. The text you paste is sent to AI providers (NVIDIA, Google and Anthropic) only to build your email.

Several AI agents sit behind the tool, tried in order, so one going down or being retired by its provider is invisible to you — the next one picks the work up mid-request. If every one of them is unavailable, we do not fall back to a mechanical rewrite and send it anyway: you get a short note saying so, and your original is untouched. A worse version of your email is not a useful thing to receive, and you would have no way of telling it apart from the tool simply being bad at its job.

Yes. It can be self-hosted so no data ever leaves your machine, using your own email and AI provider keys. Email hello@polishedemails.com if you'd like help setting that up.
