AI Images for Email: Newsletters People Actually Open
Every email goes out with a proper header image and clean visuals — no designer on retainer, no stock-photo look.
Text-only newsletters look like invoices, and stock photos look like everyone else's newsletter. Making a custom header for every send used to be a designer job. On TeamDay, the image and the email are made by the same team: Iris designs the visuals, Mara writes and manages the email, and you approve one draft.
How it works
- 1
Mara drafts your newsletter
Mara, TeamDay's newsletter manager, writes the email copy from what happened in your business this week — new products, offers, news. She works with your connected email service (TeamDay integrates with Mailgun) and tracks opens, clicks, and bounces from past sends.

Iris makes the header and product images
Iris creates the header image and any product visuals with GPT Image 2 — a good fit for email because it renders readable text and follows layout instructions well. Email-header images cost roughly $0.06 each at TeamDay's listed estimate, so custom art for every send is affordable.

Review one complete draft
You get the finished email — copy plus images — as one draft in chat. Ask for changes in plain words: "warmer colors", "mention the weekend hours". Iris edits the image, Mara edits the copy.

Approve, send, and learn
Nothing sends until you approve it. After the send, Mara reports what got opened and clicked, and the next draft starts from what actually worked.

Frequently asked questions
Can AI create images for email newsletters?
Yes. On TeamDay, Iris generates email headers, product shots, and section visuals with GPT Image 2, which is strong at rendering text and following layout instructions. You should still proofread any words the model draws into an image before sending.
How much does it cost to add custom images to every newsletter?
At TeamDay's listed estimate of about $0.06 per GPT Image 2 image, a header plus two product visuals runs under 20 cents per send. The bigger saving is time: no back-and-forth with a designer for every issue.
Does the AI send emails without my approval?
No. Mara prepares the draft — copy, images, subject line — and you approve it before anything goes to your subscribers. She also monitors deliverability, like bounce rates, so your list stays healthy.
What do I need to connect to get started?
Mara works with a connected Mailgun account for sending and subscriber management. Without it, she can still draft copy and Iris can still make the images — you just send them through your current email tool.
