Best tool for this job

Copy.ai

AI writing for sales and marketing teams.

Copy.ai is built around sales outreach. It can pull in details about each prospect and their company, and it connects to common CRMs, so you can generate a first line per person instead of one template for the whole list. It's a good fit if you're sending a few hundred emails and want each one to mention something real.

Also worth considering

ChatGPT

OpenAI's conversational AI with plugins and web browsing.

ChatGPT is fine if you're writing 10 to 20 emails by hand. Give it the prospect's details and a sample of your own writing and it'll draft one you can edit. It has no CRM hookup, so anything at volume is copy and paste.

Getting Started

✓ Do this

→Write one email yourself first, the way you'd write to a friend of a friend. Use it as the style sample.
→Keep the first email under 100 words, with one clear ask.
→Put the personal detail in the first sentence, and make sure it's true. Look it up yourself if you're not sure.
→Write three follow-ups that each add something new (a case study, a number, a question), not 'just checking in'.
→Send 20 before you send 500. Read the replies and adjust.
→Include an easy way to say no. It protects your sender reputation.

✗ Avoid this

→Letting the AI invent a personal detail. A wrong one is worse than none.
→Sending the same AI-written opener to everyone, which spam filters and recipients both spot quickly.
→Writing four paragraphs about your company before the ask.
→Ignoring unsubscribe and consent rules for the countries you're emailing.
