The AI built my newsletter email sequence and skipped a $10,000 quote

He was quoted $10,000 for a newsletter automation. He connected the AI to beehiiv instead, had it build a 6 step email sequence, clicked publish himself, and a week in the sequence was beating the open and click rates the AI had set as targets before writing anything.

$10,000one time

How it works

  1. Opens the AI and connects the beehiiv MCP
  2. Asks for a 6 step email sequence built on Russell Brunson, Alex Hormozi and Dan Kennedy first principles
  3. The AI builds the emails, the sequence and the affiliate links
  4. He clicks publish
  5. Before writing, the AI sets target open and click rates
  6. A week in, the sequence is beating both numbers

Why it’s worth knowing

He made the AI name the open and click rates to beat before it wrote a word, so it could not grade its own homework. A week in, the sequence beat both.
