Hey there, Product Hunters! This is Dipanjan, Co-founcer & CEO of Kombai. Today, we are excited to launch Kombai for Email on Product Hunt! Thanks a lot for dropping by.🙏 BACKSTORY A little over 3 months back, we launched Kombai - a new ensemble model that can understand and code UI designs like humans. We were lucky to receive a lot of love from this community and developers at large. We even got the coveted product of the month! But, as you’d imagine, we also received a lot of feedback and feature requests from our early users! And one of the top ones was - can we generate code that’ll work on email clients? We spoke to many email marketers, developers, and agency owners to understand this further. They all told us that developing custom emails is incredibly time-consuming and tedious. So, we decided to try solving this by building Kombai for Email on top of our base models. WHAT IS KOMBAI FOR EMAIL? Kombai for Email lets users convert any email designed in Figma to HTML code that works across all major email clients and ESPs in just a click. Today, email marketers have to spend $500+ in agency fees, or 8-16 in-house developer hours, to code any custom-designed email. Kombai cuts down this time and $ cost by almost 100%. KEY FEATURES Powered by Kombai’s generative models, Kombai For Email can understand real-world email designs and generate email-optimized code based on that “understanding.” 🤩 Works on any email designed in Figma. No need to constrain your creativity to drag-and-drop tools. No specific naming pattern or auto-layout is needed either. 🫠 Code works with all major email clients & ESPs. Yes - that includes the dreaded outlook, too! The tool also runs 25+ automated tests to identify common compatibility issues and recommend ways to fix them. 🤓Works perfectly on mobile devices, out-of-the-box. Customize responsive behaviors if you’d like. 🥳The code output is automatically optimized for high deliverability and low spam risk. Minify code, get images optimized for retina display & size and follow coding & accessibility best practices 🥲Ready-made email blocks for easy drag-and-drop in case you need some design inspiration or help All new users get access to a full-access trial of the tool for up to 5 code downloads. Thereafter, the Basic version, appropriate for casual users, is available for free. The Professional version, appropriate for professional email marketers and developers, is available in monthly and annual plans. THE ROAD AHEAD We have built Kombai for Email with feedback from 1K+ email marketers and developers who have used us to date. We are grateful for their overwhelmingly positive response and invaluable feedback. We will continue to build this further with the feedback from all our users. So, the feedback from the PH community is very important to us. Please give us a try and let us know your feedback using the options in the app or at support@kombai.com. Our team will also be live on Producthunt throughout the day to answer your questions and gather your input. Together, we can make email work better for everyone!

@sam_ternell Thank you for the great question! Conceptually, our models should be able to work on all vector image formats. We started with Figma based on user and email community feedback. Would definitely like to expand our support to more design tools, including PS, in the next few months. Question - Do you folks use PS exclusively for email designs? Would you be open to shifting to Figma as your email-design tool if you could get the whole HTML code in a click?
Dipanjan Dey
@shivam_tiwari24 Thanks a lot, Shivam!
Dipanjan Dey
@sam_ternell I see. In case you need a 1:1 demo to the team to make the case, just drop me a line at dipanjan@kombai.com :-)

Hi, fellow makers and early adopters! This is Abhijit, Co-founder and CTO of Kombai, chiming in. Today, we are launching Kombai for Email - a version of our base model that can code custom emails with 95%+ accuracy. This is the first specialized version of Kombai, purpose-built to do only one job but do it well. 800+ email developers and marketers have used our Open Beta over the last ~2 weeks. And even though the product had its fair share of kinks, we received incredibly positive feedback from them! From these users and the email community at large, we have also learned how much of a pain point custom emails are for any marketer or developer. It’s an incredible chore for developers to follow all the code-gymnastics required to make the code work across email clients - even the most popular ones like Outlook and Gmail. On the other hand, marketers spend $500+ to get one single email coded and have to wait one to three days to get the final code. Kombai for Email reduces this turnaround time to practically zero and costs by 90-99%. We are excited to have you all drop by our launch today. Thank you for joining us on the journey and providing your valuable feedback.

Looks solid. I love the fact that yall coming back after a huge success of your previous launch with a refined version that has narrowed down while most product releases often broaden up. Nailing main pain points of very targeted audience gives you the ability to speak clearly to them about your solution and I see how beautifully you have pulled it off. Loved that line - make email work better for everyone :)) Great work and congrats on the launch team @dipanjan_dey @avirup_mukherjee @anbhole @sourabh_upreti @mukund_mohan @satyadevntv @rishi_sanghvi
Dipanjan Dey

💡 Bright idea
Thanks to Kombai, our emails can become very stylish. Additionally, there's a suggestion: could you create templates for common marketing emails to sell? For many people, learning Figma can be time-consuming.
Dipanjan Dey
@bonvisions Great suggestion! we have started working on this a bit. You can find 50+ of ready-made templates across various topics on our Figma profile: https://www.figma.com/@kombai We plan to publish a good lot more of such templates over the next few weeks. All of these are free to use and edit. and once you are done customizing the templates, you can just use Kombai for Email plugin to get fully coded email templates for them! :-)
