Lavender Email Assistant Review

Lavender is an AI-driven email coach that helps sales and recruitment teams craft short, genuine outreach notes.

How to use Lavender

1. Install the Chrome or Outlook add-in from the website and sign in with your work address.
2. Open any draft message; a sidebar appears showing personalisation cues, tone feedback, and reading level.
3. Edit your copy while the score ticks upward; hints appear beside each line that may confuse or bore the reader.
4. Tap “Instant Suggestions” if writer’s block strikes—Lavender rewrites the sentence without sounding canned.
5. Send the note, then review reply rates inside the built-in analytics tab to see what landed.

Our overall take on Lavender

Advantages

• Practical coaching that calms prospects: The sidebar guidance felt a bit like that lavender essential-oil spray reviewers say helps them nod off quickly—gentle nudges that lower tension for the person on the other end of the screen.
• Balanced tone detection: The tool stops you hitting the reader with tonal whiplash; unlike the review that described a film swinging from farcical comedy to heavy drama, our drafts stayed consistent and clear.
• Lightweight browser performance: Much like the perfume praised for being airy and perfect for warm weather, Lavender runs quietly without stalling Gmail tabs.
• Solid core features: We share the nail-care fan’s sentiment about “top and bases” — the diamond-hard topcoat in this case is the spam-checking filter, and the builder base is the contact research panel pulling social data with one click.
• Helpful historic references: Just as “Lavender Men” links present characters to the past, the extension surfaces snippets from earlier threads so we can reference prior conversations deftly.

Drawbacks

• Interface swings between playful and corporate: Some windows feel quirky while others resemble strict grammar lessons; that mismatch echoes the mixed reactions to the scent mentioned in the perfume review.
• Idea prompts sometimes overreach: The software occasionally pushes dramatic wording—queer power, pathos, and all—as noted in the film critique, which can read as over the top for a regular sales email.
• Price nudges up faster than expected: Strolling through a lavender patch cost one reviewer five dollars; likewise, advanced analytics bump subscription fees above several rival extensions.
• No full mobile editing yet: You can read scores on a phone, but deep rewriting still needs a laptop, leaving travellers to protect themselves beforehand by drafting on desktop first.

After several weeks of prospecting, we’ve kept Lavender pinned in every inbox; the guidance, while occasionally theatrical, shortens writing time and wins more replies than cold messages we used to send alone.
