Create branded emails in seconds with an AI email template builder

Whether it’s an email, a newsletter, or an SMS campaign, creating branded content often feels like a technical maze instead of a creative process. Hours go into wrangling HTML, reformatting templates, and chasing brand approvals for what should be a simple communication.

You already know what you want to say and who you want to reach. The real challenge comes in turning that into a clean, on-brand design, unless you have an AI email template builder that can handle the heavy lifting for you.

That’s exactly what Birdeye’s Template Design Agent delivers. Give it a prompt, and it instantly builds an on-brand template, ready to send in seconds.

No juggling design tools, code editors, or support requests. Just polished templates for emails, SMS, and newsletters created in seconds within the Birdeye platform.

In this blog post, you will see how Birdeye’s Template Design Agent works, what challenges it solves, and how it helps your team create professional emails faster.

Why email design slows down teams

For most non-technical teams, email design is where the campaign slows down. Not because of the message or strategy, but because of the format.

Unlike web content that behaves consistently across browsers, emails are a different story. Each email client, such as Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, and Yahoo, has its quirks. That means an email that looks perfect in one inbox might break in another. It is not just frustrating; it leads to wasted time, inconsistent branding, and a poor reader experience.

Here are the key reasons email design is still a roadblock for many teams:

1. Inconsistent formatting across email clients

Email clients do not follow a single set of rendering rules. CSS support varies, HTML behaves differently, and features like background images or animations may not show up at all. Without deep technical knowledge, it is tough to predict how an email will display and even harder to fix it.

2. Responsive design is harder in email

More than half of emails are opened on mobile. But making emails look good on all screen sizes is a manual, code-heavy process. Teams have to handle media queries, layout changes, font resizing, and image optimization, all without the flexibility of modern web design tools.

3. Accessibility and dark mode complicate things further

Designing emails that are accessible to users with disabilities is essential but complex. Additionally, many users now prefer or require dark mode. Supporting both light and dark backgrounds means paying close attention to color contrast, image formats, and how designs adapt across modes without breaking.

4. Email HTML and CSS are severely limited

Even simple styling techniques, like hover effects or structured layouts, can fail in email. Teams are often limited to using a stripped-down version of HTML and CSS, which forces them to rely on inline styles or outdated formatting techniques just to maintain the design integrity.

5. Too many stakeholders, too little alignment

The more people involved in the process, including marketing, design, brand, and legal teams, the slower the process moves. Email design becomes a cycle of revisions and fragmented feedback, often across disconnected tools. For non-technical teams, even small changes, such as adjusting padding or updating a button, require extra support.

The result? A slow and error-prone workflow that shifts attention away from campaign goals and delays the time to launch.

The solution: Birdeye’s Template Design Agent built to eliminate technical bottlenecks, simplify collaboration, and help teams design emails with speed, consistency, and confidence.
