Hey everyone! 👋🏻
I'm Luca and together with a small team of friends we're launching Volamail, an open source AI-based email editor and provider.
Volamail was born out of the need for email tooling that didn't get in your way. We wanted to be able to collaborate on emails together and send them with a simple API call, regardless of the tech stack of each project. All this provided via a powerful, open source dashboard that can be self-hosted on any AWS account.
It didn't start out as an AI-first product, it was just a rich text editor but after some experimentation we couldn't settle on a UX that allowed complex templates to be crafted with ease. That's when we started experimenting with LLMs and we found out the current models are actually really good at this.
Volamail is currently in open beta for people to start experimenting with. We want to gather feedback on the editor while we iterate on more complex features (such as localisation, marketing emails, scheduled sending, etc.).
During this open beta phase everyone can sign up for free and send 500 transactional emails per month via the API. We also provide a paid tier that uses a better model and offers 10k emails per month.
