AI newsletter writer for MailerLite users
Hand HeyNews your public MailerLite campaign archive. The Voice Profile builds itself from past sends; the source watcher pulls in stories worth covering; the next draft is ready in under a minute. You review it here and send it from MailerLite.
14-day trial or 5 generated issues. Keep using MailerLite; HeyNews drafts, you review before sending.
What it is
HeyNews is an AI newsletter writer for MailerLite users. It imports your public MailerLite campaign archive, trains a Voice Profile from the campaigns you have already sent, watches the sources you trust (RSS feeds, sites, X, Reddit, saved articles), and drafts your next newsletter in your voice for you to review and send. Plans start at $39/mo with a 14-day free trial.
HeyNews does not replace MailerLite. MailerLite stays where your subscribers, automations, deliverability, and sending live. HeyNews is the production layer that turns your campaign history plus your sources into a draft you would have written anyway, in less time.
How HeyNews works with MailerLite
- Point HeyNews at your MailerLite archive
- No login to MailerLite, no setup, no browser extension. HeyNews fetches the public campaign archive at your MailerLite URL and uses it as the starting point for your Voice Profile.
- Build your Voice Profile from real campaigns
- HeyNews studies the tone, recurring sections, sentence rhythm, and the way you turn ideas into emails. Real MailerLite campaigns beat any prompt-engineered "style guide".
- Add the sources behind your next campaign
- RSS feeds, websites, X profiles, Reddit threads, and saved articles. HeyNews scans them and surfaces a ranked shortlist of stories that match what your subscribers actually read.
- Review the draft, then send from MailerLite
- HeyNews drafts the campaign with subject line and preview text options. Edit until it sounds right, copy the finished version into MailerLite's campaign editor, and send it on your schedule.
- Run a MailerLite newsletter and a second one side by side
- On Pro and Team plans, your MailerLite newsletter and a Substack, beehiiv, or Kit newsletter can both live in one HeyNews account, each with its own Voice Profile, sources, and draft history.
What to expect today
HeyNews creates the draft. It does not push to MailerLite or auto-send for you. Today you review inside HeyNews, copy the finished version into MailerLite, and send it yourself. Voice training works best when your campaign archive is publicly visible; if your campaigns are not archived publicly, HeyNews has less to learn from at first. See the FAQ for details.
Why it feels different for MailerLite operators
- Trained on the campaigns your subscribers already know
- MailerLite's built-in AI helps with subject lines and quick rewrites inside the editor. HeyNews learns from every campaign you have already sent, so the first draft starts in your voice instead of sounding like generic marketing copy.
- A shortlist of stories before you start writing
- MailerLite is where you send. HeyNews helps before that by scanning your sources overnight and surfacing a ranked shortlist of stories worth covering, so the recurring newsletter is no longer "what should I write about this week?".
- Separate Voice Profiles for separate campaigns
- A weekly subscriber letter and a monthly product update should not read the same. HeyNews keeps separate Voice Profiles, sources, and draft histories for each MailerLite campaign type.
- Subject lines and preview text included
- Each draft includes subject line and preview text options, so the campaign is closer to ready by the time you open the MailerLite campaign editor.
- No more pasting into ChatGPT every week
- You stop copying past campaigns into a system prompt every Monday. HeyNews trains on your archive once and uses it as voice memory for every future draft.

Use cases
The small business running a weekly MailerLite newsletter
You send a weekly customer letter to 12,000 MailerLite subscribers. Writing it eats Wednesday afternoon. HeyNews drafts it Tuesday night so Wednesday becomes a 30-minute review instead of a three-hour write, and the email still sounds like the brand.
The creator on MailerLite who left Mailchimp for the pricing
You moved off Mailchimp because the pricing climbed faster than your list. HeyNews works with MailerLite from day one and stays at flat pricing as your list grows, so the production cost does not creep back up with each new subscriber.
The agency running multiple MailerLite accounts
You manage MailerLite newsletters across three client accounts. HeyNews keeps each client voice, source list, and draft history separate, so switching between them is one click and no client ever sees another client's tone.
The MailerLite-to-beehiiv evaluator
You are weighing a move from MailerLite to beehiiv. HeyNews works with both. Train on your MailerLite archive today, then layer in your beehiiv history once the migration finishes, without retraining the Voice Profile from scratch.
FAQ
Does HeyNews replace MailerLite?
No. MailerLite stays where your subscribers, automations, deliverability, and sending live. HeyNews is the production layer that drafts each campaign from your archive plus your sources, so the page you copy into MailerLite is already written in your voice.
How does HeyNews import my MailerLite campaigns?
Point HeyNews at your public MailerLite campaign archive URL. It fetches the campaigns you have published there and trains a Voice Profile from them. No login to MailerLite, no setup, no browser extension to install.
Does HeyNews push drafts directly into MailerLite?
Not today. Drafts live inside HeyNews until you decide they are ready. When you finalize one, copy it into MailerLite's campaign editor and send it from there. That keeps you in editorial control and means a misclick never sends to your list.
Can HeyNews read my MailerLite open and click data?
Not today. MailerLite keeps subscriber-level engagement inside MailerLite. HeyNews trains on your past campaigns for voice but cannot read open and click signals the way it can on beehiiv or Kit.
What if my MailerLite plan does not expose a public archive?
HeyNews trains on what is publicly visible. If your plan does not enable a public campaign archive, you can still onboard by uploading example campaigns during setup so the Voice Profile has issues to learn from.
Will HeyNews handle MailerLite automations and sequences?
Not today. HeyNews is built around the recurring newsletter: drafts produced from your archive plus your sources. Automations and drip series need different mechanics, so MailerLite handles those and HeyNews handles the broadcast.
How many past MailerLite campaigns do I need?
HeyNews works best with at least three sent campaigns. With fewer, the first draft leans more on the briefs you write during onboarding. Send two or three campaigns first, then connect. The Voice Profile sharpens with every campaign you add.
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.
Stop rewriting the same MailerLite newsletter every week.
Import your MailerLite archive, train HeyNews on your campaigns, and judge the first draft yourself. If it does not sound like you, we have not done our job.
