There’s a new AI tool making waves in the beta community, and you know I had to be one of the first to try it. Meet Promptly AI — an all-in-one content generation assistant designed to help marketers, bloggers, and creators streamline their workflows. I’ve spent the past week beta testing it. Here’s how it performed — the good, the meh, and the unexpectedly great.
First Impressions
Signing up was a breeze. Unlike some beta tools that bury functionality behind wonky UX, Promptly AI feels surprisingly polished. The interface is clean, minimal, and intuitive — kind of like Notion met Grammarly and they had a really productive child.
You get a dashboard with sections like:
-
Blog Generator
-
Email Assistant
-
Rewriter
-
Brainstorm Mode
-
Custom Prompt Builder
Immediately, I loved the modularity. You don’t feel locked into templates, which is a big win.
Feature Highlights
1. Blog Generator
🧪 Use Case: I tested it with the prompt: “Write a blog about AI productivity hacks for freelancers.”
The output? Solid. It broke the blog into sections with catchy subheadings and offered 800+ words of structured content. The tone was a bit vanilla, but editable — and that’s pretty normal for AI-generated drafts.
👉 Rory’s take: Better than Copy.ai on first pass, but not quite as refined as Jasper for long-form.
2. Email Assistant
This is where Promptly surprised me. I ran a few standard campaigns (launch, newsletter, upsell) and the email outputs were direct, scannable, and compelling.
✅ Pro: You can toggle tone settings like “friendly,” “urgent,” or “professional.”
❌ Con: You can’t yet import contact segments or A/B test directly from the platform.
3. Brainstorm Mode
Think of this as a digital whiteboard that never runs out of ideas. I asked for “5 unusual hooks for a webinar on AI ethics,” and it delivered:
-
“Can Your AI Be Racist?”
-
“What Happens When Algorithms Judge You?”
-
“The Ethics of Automation in Real Life”
🔥 These weren’t just clickbait — they made me stop and think.
4. Rewriter Tool
You paste in your own copy and it offers tone-matched rewrites. This feature came in clutch when editing client bios and tweaking meta descriptions.
🔁 There’s also an SEO enhancer toggle, which integrates a basic keyword suggestion tool. Think Clearscope-lite.
Pricing & Access
Promptly AI is currently in private beta, but the pricing model they previewed looks promising:
-
Free Plan: 10 generations/day
-
Starter: £9/month for 100 generations
-
Pro: £29/month unlimited use, plus analytics integration
Compared to Jasper or Writesonic, it’s definitely more budget-friendly — especially if you’re a solo marketer or small business owner.
What I Loved
-
Speed: Blog generation took under 30 seconds
-
UI: Genuinely easy to use, even on mobile
-
Tone control: A subtle but powerful feature for brand voice tweaking
-
Custom prompts: Perfect for power users
What Needs Work
-
No integrations yet (Zapier, Google Docs, etc.)
-
No team collaboration tools
-
Output length sometimes capped (a 1,500-word request gave me 1,000)
To be fair — it’s beta. And the dev team seems active in fixing bugs quickly.
Who Should Try It?
If you’re a marketer, solopreneur, or content creator who needs a no-fuss AI writing assistant — this could be a solid choice. Especially if you don’t want to commit to the bigger, pricier players right away.
I’d recommend signing up now while it’s free and giving it a spin before it hits full release.
Final Verdict: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆
Promptly AI has real potential. It’s a refreshingly usable and versatile writing tool that punches above its (current) weight. If they add integrations and extend long-form output, this might become a must-have in my tech stack.
I’ll be keeping a close eye on this one.
