People subscribe to newsletters for a person's perspective. Use AI to speed up the mechanics, not to replace your voice.
Plan a repeatable format
A consistent structure makes writing faster. For example: a short intro, one main story, three links with your comments and a question for readers.
From notes to draft
Here are my notes and links for this week's newsletter: [notes].

Subject lines
Ask for 10 subject lines with different approaches, then test two.
Editing
Ask AI to cut 20% of the words, point out unclear sentences and flag anything that sounds generic.
