What it is

HeyNews is an AI newsletter writer for beehiiv operators. It connects to beehiiv, trains a Voice Profile from every issue you have published, watches the sources you trust (RSS feeds, sites, X, Reddit, saved articles), and drafts your next issue in your voice for you to review and send. Plans start at $39/mo with a 14-day free trial.

HeyNews does not replace beehiiv. beehiiv stays where your subscribers, sending, payments, and deliverability live. HeyNews is the production layer that turns your archive plus your sources into a draft you would have written anyway, in less time.

How HeyNews works with beehiiv

Connect beehiiv in one click: Authorize beehiiv from inside HeyNews. The connection reads the issues you have already published so HeyNews can learn how your newsletter sounds.
Build your Voice Profile from real issues: HeyNews studies your tone, recurring sections, sentence rhythm, and the way you frame stories. The more issues in your beehiiv archive, the closer the first draft starts to your voice.
Add the sources you actually read: RSS feeds, websites, X profiles, Reddit threads, and saved articles. HeyNews monitors them and surfaces the strongest stories for your audience before you start writing.
Let response data shape future drafts: HeyNews uses what your beehiiv subscribers opened and clicked to lean future drafts toward the formats and topics that already work, without you tagging anything manually.
Review the draft, then send from beehiiv: Drafts live in HeyNews with subject line and preview text options. Edit until it sounds right, copy the finished version into beehiiv's editor, and send on your schedule.
Run multiple beehiiv publications side by side: On Pro and Team plans, each beehiiv publication keeps its own Voice Profile, sources, and draft history, so a personal letter and a B2B newsletter never cross-contaminate.

What to expect today

HeyNews creates the draft. It does not auto-send for you. Today you review inside HeyNews, then copy the finished version into beehiiv and send it yourself. That keeps final editorial control with you and means a misclick can never push a draft to your list.

Why it feels different for beehiiv operators

Trained on your full beehiiv archive, not a one-line prompt: beehiiv's built-in AI assistant helps with rewrites and grammar inside the editor. HeyNews learns from every issue you have already published, so the first draft starts in your voice instead of sounding like generic AI copy.
A shortlist of stories before you open a blank page: You stop the daily scroll through 12 RSS feeds and Twitter lists. HeyNews scans your sources overnight and surfaces a ranked shortlist of stories that match what your audience actually reads.
Drafts shaped by what beehiiv subscribers engage with: beehiiv knows your open and click data. HeyNews uses those signals as input for future drafts, so format and topic selection compounds with every issue you send.
Separate Voice Profiles for separate publications: Your daily roundup and your Sunday deep dive should not sound the same. HeyNews keeps separate Voice Profiles, sources, and draft histories for each beehiiv publication you run.
A complete first draft, not a prompt response: Subject lines, preview text, story selection, opening, body, and CTAs are produced together. You start from a draft worth editing, not from a blinking cursor.

Use cases

The 5-figure MRR beehiiv operator who is the bottleneck

You run a paid newsletter on beehiiv with $40k MRR. The newsletter is the business, but writing it eats your week. HeyNews trains on your two-year archive, drafts in your voice, and the time you save goes back into product, sponsorships, and audience growth.

The daily news beehiiv publication on a 6 AM send

HeyNews pulls overnight from your RSS feeds and X lists, picks the most relevant six stories, and has a draft ready by 5 AM. Review for fifteen minutes, send from beehiiv, and the rest of your day is yours.

The multi-publication beehiiv operator

You run three beehiiv publications: a personal letter, a B2B SaaS one, and a curated industry brief. HeyNews keeps the voice, sources, and draft history separate for each, so switching between them is one click.

The "beehiiv AI does not sound like me" operator

beehiiv's built-in AI assistant is fine for grammar and rewrites. It is not trained on your archive. HeyNews is, and the difference shows up the first time a subscriber says "this sounds exactly like you wrote it."

FAQ

Does HeyNews replace beehiiv?

No. beehiiv stays where your subscribers, sending, deliverability, and payments live. HeyNews is the production layer that drafts each issue from your archive plus your sources, so the page you copy into beehiiv is already written in your voice.

Does HeyNews push drafts directly into beehiiv?

Not today. Drafts live inside HeyNews until you decide they are ready. When you finalize one, copy it into beehiiv's editor and send it from there. That keeps you in editorial control and means a misclick never sends to your list.

Does HeyNews replace the beehiiv AI assistant?

For voice-aware first drafts, yes. beehiiv's built-in AI is still useful for inline grammar fixes and quick rewrites once the draft is in the beehiiv editor. The two coexist: HeyNews handles production, beehiiv handles polish and send.

Do I need a paid beehiiv plan?

Yes. HeyNews needs beehiiv to share your past issues and basic engagement data, which usually requires a paid beehiiv tier. If you are on beehiiv Free, plan to upgrade beehiiv before connecting so the Voice Profile has issues to learn from.

What data does HeyNews read from beehiiv?

Past issues for voice training, plus open and click signals so future drafts can lean toward formats and topics that already work. HeyNews does not read subscriber email addresses, does not store your audience list, and does not send anything on your behalf.

Can I disconnect beehiiv any time?

Yes, from Settings → Connections in HeyNews. Disconnecting stops new updates from beehiiv but keeps your existing Voice Profile, sources, and saved drafts inside HeyNews so you can keep working without losing context.

How fast is the first draft after I connect?

Usually under sixty seconds once your archive is imported and your sources are added. Most beehiiv operators see their first usable draft in the same session they sign up for the trial.

What is the free trial?

14 days or 5 generated issues, whichever ends first. A payment method is required so accounts cannot be recycled. Cancel any time during the trial and you are not charged.
