Common considerations users should keep in mind when using Stripo’s AI Assistant and effective solutions to optimize their experience. Learn how to handle processing delays, formatting adjustments, and brand customization for seamless email creation.
We conducted a test comparing email creation using the AI Assistant and manual methods to identify the AI Assistant’s strengths and areas for improvement. While the AI Assistant significantly speeds up the email production process, we recognize that some temporary hurdles may arise. Our goal is to highlight them and provide solutions so you can navigate them with ease.
Processing occasional delays
One of the first things to keep in mind is that the AI Assistant, like any software, can sometimes respond longer than expected. This can happen due to a high server load or temporary technical issues.
How to handle it: If the AI Assistant takes longer than expected to generate an email, try refreshing the page or restarting the process. If the delay persists, wait a few minutes and try again.
Adjusting brand color
Brand consistency is crucial in email marketing, and while the AI Assistant does a great job in many cases, there may be instances where manual fine-tuning is needed. Sometimes, it selects colors that don’t perfectly align with your brand identity. Conversely, in some sections, the brand colors on the landing page provide a perfect match.
How to handle it: Double-check all brand colors in the generated email. If any colors are off, manually adjust them in the editor. Future updates will introduce settings to customize brand colors and images more efficiently through the UI.
Additionally, you can save the email template you need separately and use our code editor if necessary.
Font and text formatting adjustments
The AI Assistant assigns fonts based on its design model, which may not always align with your brand’s typography preferences. Additionally, if the available font size options don’t fully match your needs, adjustments may be required.
How to handle it: Before using the AI Assistant, upload your preferred fonts to the Stripo editor. This will make it easier to switch fonts without disrupting the design through AI. If you have not done it but need to use a custom font, you can adjust it manually through the HTML code editor. Our team is currently working on improving this functionality to allow more font size flexibility directly in the editor through UI.
Finetuning alignment
Although rare, slight alignment inconsistencies can occur. For example, in one instance, the AI Assistant centered the text when left alignment was intended. While this isn’t a frequent occurrence, it’s something to be mindful of when reviewing your emails.
How to handle it: Always review the alignment settings and make manual adjustments if necessary.
Content and link verification
While the AI Assistant generates email content quickly, it’s still important to proofread the text. AI-generated content can sometimes contain minor phrasing adjustments or require refinements for a more natural tone. Additionally, the AI Assistant may not always insert links correctly, so verifying accuracy is recommended.
How to handle it: Always read through the AI-generated content and make any necessary edits before finalizing your email. Double-check all links, especially those related to calendar integrations or webinar registrations, to ensure that they direct recipients to the correct destinations. You can also use the checklist, which helps you check your email before sending it.
Wrapping up
Stripo’s AI Assistant is a powerful tool that significantly speeds up email creation, but it comes with certain considerations. Occasional processing delays, brand color refinements, and font adjustments are things to keep in mind. However, with a few manual adjustments, you can easily refine your emails and make them campaign-ready.
By staying aware of these refinements and knowing how to optimize them, you can get the most out of the AI Assistant while ensuring that your emails look polished and professional. Stripo continues to enhance the AI Assistant’s capabilities, making each update even more efficient.
