AI newsletter drafts trained on your own past issues

What is HeyNews.co?
HeyNews.co is a content writing tool. HeyNews trains on your archived newsletter issues, then drafts new editions in your voice from stories pulled out of RSS feeds, sites, subreddits, YouTube and public social profiles. Drafts are ranked, reviewable and never sent automatically.
HeyNews is an AI newsletter generator built around a single idea: the draft should sound like the person who usually writes it. You connect a beehiiv or Kit account, or hand over the link to a public archive on Substack, Ghost, Mailchimp or Medium, and the service imports your back catalogue. From those issues it learns phrasing, tone and structure, a process the company says usually finishes in a few minutes. After that, every new draft is produced in your publication's voice, and in your publication's language even when the archive itself is written in another one. Story sourcing sits alongside the writing. You follow RSS feeds, individual sites, subreddits, YouTube channels and public social profiles, and HeyNews checks those sources automatically. New stories are ranked by how well they fit the newsletter, so the strongest matches surface first. From the story pool you select what goes into the next issue, and a draft is generated from exactly those picks. Style Rules carry standing preferences into every draft, and Reusable Links give the writer a list of approved URLs (a subscribe page, for example) it can drop in where relevant. Editing is the part that keeps publishers in control. Sections can be rewritten, tone adjusted and subject lines tested inside the editor. Automations can produce drafts on your issue days using only stories published since the last draft, but everything lands in the Issues queue and waits for review. HeyNews does not send. Drafts are pushed into beehiiv as unsent posts on paid plans with approved draft access; on other platforms you copy the finished text across yourself. The tool suits independent newsletter operators and small editorial teams who publish on a fixed schedule and feel the research and first-draft load most. It is less useful for someone starting without any archive, since the voice training depends on prior issues. The pricing sits in the paid tier of newsletter tooling, and the trial requires a card up front.

HeyNews processes the imported issues in the background, usually within a few minutes. When it finishes, the AI Writer is marked ready and the Voice screen shows the issues it trained on.4Follow sources and pick stories
Add RSS feeds, sites, subreddits, YouTube channels and public social profiles. HeyNews checks them automatically and ranks new stories by fit; select the ones you want in the issue.5Review and edit the draft
The draft is written in your voice from your selected stories. Rewrite sections, adjust tone, try subject lines and confirm the links before you finish.6Send from your own platform
On beehiiv with approved draft access the draft appears as an unsent post. Elsewhere you copy the final text into your sending tool. HeyNews itself never sends.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Voice training draws on your actual back catalogue rather than a generic prompt, so drafts carry your phrasing and structure.AI
- Story sourcing covers RSS, subreddits, YouTube channels and public profiles, with relevance ranking instead of a raw feed list.AI
- Drafts are generated only from stories you select and approved Reusable Links, which limits fabricated sourcing.AI
- Automations can prepare drafts on issue days, and everything waits in the Issues queue for human review before sending.AI
- Drafts can be pushed into beehiiv as unsent posts, saving the copy and paste step for publishers on that platform.AI
Cons
- Trial requires a payment method at signup and converts to a charge on day 14 unless cancelled, so it is not a no commitment test.AI
- Native draft creation is limited to beehiiv on a paid plan with approved draft access; every other platform means manual copying.AI
- Voice quality depends on having a substantial archive, and the product does not claim strong results for new publications.AI
- No API is documented on the homepage, which limits custom workflow or pipeline integration for technical teams.AI
- Ranking and draft quality are hard to audit from outside, and the homepage offers no independent benchmark beyond customer quotes.AI
