So it's like a "make email button"? I'm sold.
William M. Ballance
@sadamiak Yes, plus so much more to help optimize the inbox/outbound experience.

@sadamiak It's as if the "easy button" also made you a better more thoughtful writer by default.

@sadamiak @will_allred Every comment makes me feel I need it a little bit more :)

πŸ‘‹ Hey Hunters! I'm Will, one of the founders at Lavender alongside @will_allred + @casey_corvino. We're excited to introduce what we've been working on this year: a pivot we made as a result of COVID. We thought we could help remote-first workers send more effective, emotionally intelligent emails using some of the writing tech we had been building for marketers. Over the past several months that initial goal as evolved into an entire ecosystem of tools and a broader mission of building the most useful email assistant available. Now more than ever people are spending more time in their inbox. We want to help make the email experience more pleasant for both the sender and the recipient. Lavender helps you send better emails faster. Thoughtful, high EQ, emails that are considerate of the reader. It's a browser extension that works with GSuite and Outlook 365, and is equal parts writing and productivity assistant. It analyzes your writing and coaches you in real time, then leverages GPT-3 to help make it more impactful. Lavender's unique combination of tools work together to augment your email abilities. Instead of bouncing around to different tools, we want to keep you in your inbox and in your flow state with: βœ… Automatic Email Address Verification 🀝 Rapport-building social insights on your recipient and their company πŸ” Real-time email analysis and coaching πŸ…° An email score for your chance of getting a positive reply πŸ’Œ Tone, sentiment, formality, and best-practices check 🚫 Highlighting problematic sentences πŸ™…β€β™€οΈ Checks to make sure you won't land in spam πŸ€– One click corrections to make your email more confident and concise πŸ₯° Subject Line Analysis πŸ“± Mobile Preview + Editor πŸ₯³ Easy-Insert GIFs with emotion analysis ⏰ Open Awareness πŸ“¬ Analysis and suggestions on how to respond to inbound emails Our early users find using Lavender makes their emails more effective and mobile optimized. They're getting higher open rates, more replies, and ultimately booking more meetings and forming better relationships. They're calling it their "secret weapon", "useful from the first email", "the most fun" they've had writing emails, and a "fire" product that they "love". See why with your first two months free when you sign up for Lavender Unlimited. Just enter PRODUCTHUNT during your onboarding. We're excited to get your feedback! To kick things off we're hosting a virtual launch party on Twitch starting at 9am PST. Join us for a live DJ playing some music to kickoff your work day at https://lounge.trylavender.com

@will_allred @casey_corvino @mballance I signed up, entered my credit card info and the code but it did not give me a two month trial
William M. Ballance
@will_allred @casey_corvino @mballance @ni_e_sha I sent you an email but want to also follow up here. Somehow the promo code didn't save for you, but it's fixed now and the free months have been added to your account.
PJ Mantoss
A super intelligent and revolutionary email assistant.

Been using Lavender for the past few months and it's been incredible to see the growth from a product standpoint. This team really understands the future of the inbox, it's a great combination of all things that help you write a great email.
William M. Ballance
@waitrewindthat Christopher, wow! Thank you for these words. I remember in college I thought about what the future of email would look like, and how it would be so hard to be the company to reinvent it. Fast forward and that's what we're trying to do! You get it!
Will Allred
@waitrewindthat I know how in depth you go with tech. This holds a lot of weight with out team. Thank you for the kind words. I know you get it more than most. <3
Christopher Fago
@will_allred You bet! Gotta support my ATLiens too.

I've been using Lavender for a couple of months now. It's new. It's useful. It works. And it keeps getting better. We live in a world where getting your message right the very first time means more than ever. Lavender has helped me improve the engagement I get in regular newsletters and in personal correspondence. The product gives me instant feedback on how likely the message I craft is likely to get seen, get read, and get acted upon. Since it uses machine learning, the results just keep getting better. Lots of tools are working in the 'communications improvement' space. I like Lavender's trajectory because it's all about making meaningful connections with others, not spamming or manipulating them. This is a tool I plan to use for a long time.
William M. Ballance
@mikewittenstein Mike! Thanks so much for sharing some #LavenderLove! As you said we are pushing the team to keep releasing new features and integrations rapidly. In the coming weeks we'll be intertwined even deeper into the sales stack with some integration announcements. Appreciate it!
Will Allred
@mikewittenstein Wow, thanks Mike! One thing that we view as key to our product is the awareness factor. A lot of people just aren't aware of writing mistake or a unintentional tone. It's not just about doing it for you (we do that) it's about making you a better writer in the process.
Tom Slocum
I have been using Lavender for a few months now. It is a must in ones tech stack. It keeps evolving each day. It's like they are in the trenches with us. From the analysis it provides, to the GIF, it's real time coaching you. My engagement in email has improved since I have started using Lavender. I could not write an email without it. Thats how important it is and has been. Thank you to the Lavender team for putting this product out in 2020! Big things coming from this team and solution.
William M. Ballance
@tom_slocum Tom your support humbles us every day. We are so happy that our product is something that gives you value each day in your job. Your mindset of us being in the trenches with you is something we've conveyed to our team several times as we think about the product! THANK YOU!
Will Allred
@tom_slocum your support has been rocket fuel for our team. Really appreciate you sharing this here.
Jasper Tay

Marie Roker-Jones
Lavender is my go to tool for crafting succinct emails. My emails have better open rates thanks to Lavender!
William M. Ballance
@marie_roker_jones Thank you so much for sharing your results! Glad it's working so well for you πŸ’œ
Will Allred
@marie_roker_jones That's awesome! We've been hearing similar things from users. More opens, more replies, more outcomes. Glad we can help!
Ed Jaffe
I love what Lavender is doing. I don't write a lot of cold emails, so when I do, it's incredibly helpful to have a neutral third-party to give me feedback (especially when I don't know the recipient). The founding team is constantly pushing out new features, and they are incredibly responsive for both technical questions, as well as for advice on what might make the email better. And, on top of all of that, it's 9 bucks. I don't think I have anything else in my tech stack that delivers close to as much value for that price point.
William M. Ballance
@ejaffe Wow Ed! That last line. Delivering maximum value at an affordable price (or even in our free tier!) As for advice, if you're ever stuck on an email and want us to revise it for you...that's part of Lavender. Just email it to team@trylavender.com - we'll typically have a human-revised email to you in 15 mis or so.
Will Allred
@ejaffe Value is the name of the game. Appreciate all the feedback and support you've given us. Thank you!
Michael Sengbusch
Lavender has been extremely useful in crafting emails. I've been following @will_allred and @mballance since Lavender was in alpha. The latest version looks fantastic! Get this plugin now!
William M. Ballance
@will_allred @mballance @michael_sengbusch1 Michael! Thanks so much. You've definitely been around for every update since the earliest days! Thanks for the ongoing feedback and continued use!
