How it works
From your website to your first issue in 15 minutes
Studio needs about 5 minutes of its own to read your website and draft your first issue; the rest is you checking what it found. After that it does the reading, the writing and the layout every week, and you stay the editor.
- About a minute
Give us your website
Paste your website address, and add any brochures or documents you want Studio to know.
- About 4 minutes, then your checks
Studio learns your business
It reads your brand, what you sell and who you sell to, then suggests trusted sources to follow. You approve each one, and add your own.
- Under 2 minutes for your first issue
Each issue is researched and written
On your schedule, it finds what changed, keeps what matters to your readers, and writes it in your voice with one question to start a conversation.
- A few minutes of your time
You review and send
The issue arrives as a draft in Brevo (Mailchimp and Kit coming soon). Change what you like, press send, and see the opens and clicks back in Studio.
Checked, not just written
Every item is checked before you see it
A newsletter that gets one fact wrong costs more than it earns. So Studio checks its own work, item by item, before anything becomes a draft. Anything that fails comes back to be fixed, never quietly let through.
Item 2 of 5
A new standard your customers will be asked about
- Every link opens
- Every figure appears on its source page
- The source and its date are named
- Sponsored or paywalled sources are labelled
- No customer named unless the source names them publicly
- Your house style: plain words, no hype
Inside Studio
The whole job, in one easy place
No prompts to write and no chats to keep track of. Studio holds the workflow, remembers your business, keeps the history of every issue and ties each item back to what you offer, so each week starts where the last one finished.

The Studio pipeline, with example content.
The workflow
Research, drafts, checks, items held for later and the handover to your email platform, in order, with what is left to do always in view.
The memory
Your positioning, your readers, your trusted sources and your house style. Set once from your website, used in every issue, changed whenever you like.
The history
Every issue and every item you have sent, so you can see what you have already covered, and anything you held back is waiting when there is room for it.
The tie to your business
Each item gives your readers a practical tip, and where it fits honestly, one line linking it to what you sell, with Studio showing you which service it ties to and why. Never forced: an item can simply be worth knowing.
A finished issue
Personal to your business, and to each reader
Every issue goes out in your brand, greets each reader by name and is signed by a real person. It can carry your own view and, where it fits, a line about what you sell. Here is one for a fictional facilities company.
The Facilities BriefCorrowmere Facilities · Issue 14 · Thursday
Hi Sarah,
Main insightWhat the new guidance on fire doors means for your buildings
Inspections are moving from yearly to a schedule set by how busy each door is, so high traffic doors will be checked more often. Most sites will need to know which doors fall into which group.
Quick check: do you know which of your doors see the most traffic?
If you would like a hand sorting your doors into groups, our survey team can map them for you in a single visit.
Our view: we would start with stairwells and kitchens. They fail most often, and they are cheap to fix early.

One question for you: which part of your building takes most of your time each week? Just reply; I read every answer.

What we are, and what we are not
Studio writes your newsletter. Your email platform sends it.
Newsletter Studio is not another Brevo, Mailchimp or Kit. Those are where your contacts live and where your emails are sent from. Studio does the part they leave to you: finding what matters, writing it, checking it and laying it out, every week.
Newsletter Studio is
- Your research desk. It reads the sources you trust and finds what changed in your industry.
- Your writer and editor. Each issue in your voice, with one question that invites a reply.
- Your fact checker. Every link, figure and source checked before you see it.
- Your memory. Your positioning, sources, readers and every past issue, kept in one place.
- The bridge to your email platform. A finished, branded draft, ready for you to send.
Newsletter Studio is not
- An email sending service. It never sends. You press send in your own email platform.
- Your contact list. It never adds, changes or deletes your contacts.
- A blank AI chat. No prompts to write, and nothing unchecked reaches you.
- A place to sell paid newsletters or sponsorships. Email platforms such as Kit do that well.
- Built for creators chasing subscribers. It is built for businesses writing to their customers about their industry.

Questions: admin@railstons.ch
Why it costs what it does
The AI is the smallest part of a good newsletter
With Included AI, the AI is on us
Each issue runs many searches and reads every source in full before a word is written. We pay for all of it, which is why Included AI has a fair limit of one newsletter, weekly.
With Your own AI (coming soon), you pay for scale
There is no AI cost to us, and no set limit either. Every extra newsletter and every extra issue is researched, checked, kept with its history and handed over by Studio, so the price reflects how much you can do with it.
What Studio doesWithout it, every week
- Remembers your business: positioning, trusted sources, readers, and what you have already covered.You brief the AI from scratch every time.
- Checks every link, figure and source before you see the issue.You check by hand, or risk a mistake in front of customers.
- Builds the finished email in your brand.You copy text into your email tool and format it each time.
- Hands it to your email platform as a draft, and brings the results back.Results and next week's issue never meet.
- Keeps drafts, edits and held items in one place.A chat history and a folder of notes.
- Hosting, security, updates and support.Yours to arrange.
Questions
Common questions
Does Newsletter Studio send my emails?
No. It leaves a finished draft in your email platform, and a person presses send. It never adds, changes or deletes your contacts.
Will it make things up?
It is built not to. Every item comes from a source you approved, names that source, and passes the checks before you see it. You read every issue before it goes.
Which email platforms does it work with?
Brevo today. Mailchimp and Kit are coming soon, and so is an HTML export you can paste into any other platform. See what we are, and what we are not for how they differ.
What else will I pay for?
Your email platform, paid to them directly, because that is where your contacts live and where you press send. Brevo charges by emails sent: its free plan suits a small list and adds a "Sent with Brevo" line, and paid plans start from about £6 a month. When Mailchimp support arrives: Mailchimp charges by contacts, and its free plan (250 contacts, 500 emails a month) cannot send a designed email like ours, so you would need its Standard plan, from about £15 a month for 500 contacts. When Kit support arrives: Kit charges by subscribers, is free up to 10,000 subscribers, and its paid plans start at US$33 a month billed yearly. All of them rise as your list grows; check their pricing pages for your list size.
What happens when Included AI reaches its limit?
It covers one newsletter and one issue a week. A second issue in the same week waits for the next week, or can move to Your own AI once it opens. Anything already drafted can still be edited and handed over.
Can I use my Claude subscription?
Not yet. It comes with Your own AI (coming soon). You connect Claude once; for each issue you press Run in my Claude in Studio, then press send in the Claude chat that opens. Your Claude does the research within your plan's allowance and sends the items back to be checked.
Is there a free plan?
No. When sign ups open, every plan starts with a 14 day trial, long enough to set up your newsletter from your website and see your first issue. Until then, ask for early access.
Which AI does it use?
Claude, made by Anthropic. On Included AI we run it for you; on Your own AI (coming soon) it runs on your own Anthropic key or your own Claude.
What happens when I ask for early access?
We reply from admin@railstons.ch and agree the next steps with you. Nothing is charged until sign ups open and you choose a plan.
Can I cancel?
Yes, at any time. Your drafts stay yours.
