How does the subject line generator work?

Ten template families per goal — newsletter, promo/sales, cold outreach, announcement — filled with industry-appropriate nouns and scored by the same engine as the tester. Every output is deterministic: the same goal, industry and reroll seed always produce the same ten lines, so you can bookmark a set you liked. The generator writes short lines on purpose — most land in the 60s and 70s out of the box ('Should I send the checklist?' scores 71, 'Say hello to the new dashboard' 72) — and each one shows its score so you know which to fix before sending.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the generated subject lines free to use?
Yes — use them verbatim or as scaffolding for your own. The generator is a template engine, not an AI model: nothing is sent to a server, every combination is deterministic, and no attribution is required.
Why do generated lines score in the 60s and 70s rather than 90s?
Because they're honest. Lines score 90+ only with an exact-fit number, a power word AND second person — which reads templated if every email does it. Pick a 70+ line, swap in one specific noun from your world (a product, a date, a city), and it lands 80+.
What's the difference between the four goals?
Newsletter lines trade on curiosity and habit ('The issue everyone forwards'); promo lines on offers and urgency ('30% off — this week only'); cold outreach on relevance and a small ask ('Quick question about deep work'); announcements on novelty ('New: the new dashboard is live'). The template families differ per goal — that's the point.
Can I generate in my industry's voice?
Five industries are built in — e-commerce, SaaS, agency/freelance, local business, creator/media. Each swaps the nouns ('cart abandonment' vs 'deep work' vs 'Q4 planning'). Generate in the closest industry and replace the topic noun with yours.
Does the reroll give endless new lines?
Each reroll seed shuffles the same ten template families with your industry's nouns — variations, not infinite originals. Two or three rerolls are usually enough to find a shape worth editing.
