Explain it simply
A boot maker used to pay an agency for his marketing emails. Now a helper writes in his brand voice. It pulls product photos, makes the main image, and drops a draft in Klaviyo, his email tool. He checks it for about five minutes, then clicks send.
What was done
Will Roman, who makes small-batch boots at Chisos Boots, replaced his email agency with a Grok Bot. The bot writes in the brand's voice, pulls product photos from Dropbox, builds hero artwork in Figma, and drops a finished campaign into Klaviyo as a draft.
In the replies he adds that the bot also wrote his automated emails, including one that featured a customer review he hadn't seen before. He checked it in Judge.me and confirmed it was real.
How it went
About five minutes of review per campaign, then send. Nothing goes out without his approval, and because the draft is editable in Klaviyo, small fixes don't need a new prompt.
- Limitation: this is a self-reported post with a demo. He shares no open rates, click rates or revenue figures. One reply also notes that bot-designed email layouts can still be weak, so check the design, not just the copy.
Prompt
Connect to our Dropbox, Figma and Klaviyo.
Each week, build one campaign about [topic / product / launch]:
1. Write the email in our brand voice (see [brand voice doc]). Give me 3 subject line options.
2. Pull the best matching product photos from Dropbox/[folder].
3. Build a hero image in Figma using our template [file link].
4. Create the campaign in Klaviyo as a DRAFT for segment [segment].
Never schedule or send. When the draft is ready, send me the link
and a short list of anything you weren't sure about (claims, prices,
dates, discount codes).Our version; the post doesn't share one.
Business fit
Who this helps, and how:

Shopify & ecommerceRetail store owners: turn new-arrival photos into a weekly in-store promo email, drafted and ready to approve.
Local & serviceContent creators: have launch and newsletter emails assembled from your existing photos and artwork.
CreatorsIndependent contractors (barbers, consultants): draft a monthly client email with openings, offers and a recent review.
Local & serviceAgencies and freelancers: use the same draft-only setup across client lists, with each client approving every send.

- Which campaign would you still open and edit before you hit send?
- What photos should the draft include so the email looks like your shop?
- Where do you want the draft to sit so you can change a line?
