New Feature, Landing Pages

There is a new feature, it is this one. Landing pages!

3mails.ai

I had just left the company that I had started in 2007, and was trying to figure out what was going to be next for me. At age 50, that is a hard question. That is a hard question at any age, but it was especially hard for me. I had spent the last 17 years investing everything I had into a startup baked around helping people connect more effectively.

I really like the .ai TLD, it sort of captured what i was trying to do. It was that I was so pro AI that I couldn't do anything else, more than AI represented innovation, and email had gotten so stale. Stalwarts in the industry were just chasing dollar signs under the auspices of meeting customer demand, when in reality, it was just a cash grab.

The concept of true innovation was left to the startups.

Seventeen years pass and I still want to help people connect. But the world has changed. I tripled down on AI to understand where we were headed with AI-assisted development. I started to build. I started to build 3mails.ai under auspices of reply-centric email. That is driving recipients toward replying to email, as that is a super strong deliverability signal.

I wanted to have a mascot, so i drew up a pigeon, a metaphor that seems super appropriate for email, but hasn't really caught on anywhere. Well, the first cut was smart-replies, it attached to your reply-to header and routed your replies to the correct person. Below is the first logo.

Then I built a game, Prohibitioner.com. It is an online, turned-based game. We had been playing with the idea of game centered on prohibition for a long time and AI-ushed the idea into something easy to build. AND I wanted something that I could use 3mails.ai to promote.

The mascot evolved, and then disappeared

While I like the addition of the mailbag, the hat and the letter, It still just felt a little to whimsical. So the bird disappeared.

Prohibitioner.com

Because of the work that I did after the ending of the startup I formed, it qualified me to do crazy, amazing techie things. And I just figured I would document that a little bit in the landing pages section of 3mails.ai

The game is free, and was built to:

• Scratch an technology itch that I could do with my adult sons
• Provide a vehicle to test out 3mails.ai
• Push and innovate in the organic digital marketing space.
