Question 1

How does AI cold email writing actually work?

Accepted Answer

AI email writers use large language models (like GPT-4) to generate personalized email copy based on a template you provide and prospect-specific data. You write a prompt describing your goal (e.g., 'Write a cold email to a VP of Sales at a SaaS company about our new tool'), and the AI fills in names, company details, and pain points for each prospect. Linki runs locally on your server, so no third party sees your contact list. Over time, Linki learns which angles and templates perform best from your open and reply rates.

Question 2

Is it legal to send cold emails written by AI?

Accepted Answer

Yes, as long as you follow CAN-SPAM (US), GDPR (EU), and CASL (Canada). These laws don't distinguish between human-written and AI-written emails. They care about consent, unsubscribe links, and sender identity. The legal risk comes from volume and targeting, not from AI. Send 50 personalized, relevant emails per week and you're fine. Send 10,000 generic blasts from a new domain and you'll be flagged fast with or without AI.

Question 3

Will AI-written emails get flagged as spam?

Accepted Answer

Poor AI emails get flagged. Generic templates, weak personalization, and wrong sending cadence are the culprits. Linki helps by generating truly personalized copy, but you must warm up your email domain first. Warm-up means sending gradually from a new address: start with 5 emails on day one, 20 on day two, and ramp to 50 by week two. You also need to set up SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records. Linki provides the tools and guidance. You do the setup work correctly.

Question 4

How is Linki different from Hunter, Apollo, or Instantly?

Accepted Answer

Hunter is primarily an email finder, not an AI writer. Apollo is a sales engagement platform where you pay per seat for email features. Instantly is a cold email tool with AI, but it's cloud-based and charges per campaign. Linki is a self-hosted AI email writer: you pay one flat fee, own your data completely, have no per-email charges, and can audit or customize the AI model because it's open source. Hunter and Apollo are black boxes controlled by their vendors.

Question 5

Can I export my data if I switch platforms later?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Self-hosted Linki exports your emails, templates, and contact lists as clean JSON or CSV files. No degradation. No export fees. No hidden charges. Compare this to Hunter and Apollo, which often degrade exported data or charge premium prices for clean exports. Since Linki runs on your own server via Opsily, you own the database. You can migrate to another host in hours if you want. That's worth a lot for peace of mind.

Question 6

Is Linki on Opsily GDPR compliant?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Opsily hosts all servers in Germany, which means EU data residency by default and strict GDPR compliance. Your prospect list never leaves the EU. Backups are encrypted, and you can request a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) from Opsily. Most other AI email tools (Instantly, Hunter, Apollo) are US-based and subject to the CLOUD Act, meaning the US government can theoretically request access to your data. Self-hosted Linki avoids that entirely.

Question 7

Do I need to set up email authentication?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You should set up SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records for your sending domain before using Linki. These DNS records prove to Gmail and Outlook that your domain is sending the emails, not a spam server. Setup takes about 15 minutes. Linki provides a step-by-step guide. If you skip this step, your emails will be flagged as spam regardless of how well Linki personalizes them. It's a one-time setup that pays dividends.

Question 8

Can I personalize cold emails at scale without sounding robotic?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but it requires rich prospect data. Linki generates copy based on your template and the prospect fields you provide. If you only give it generic data (company size, industry), you get generic emails. The trick is feeding Linki detailed, specific information: recent company news, specific job titles, genuine pain points you researched. Tools like Clearbit or Hunter can enrich your contacts. Good data in, good personalized emails out. The bottleneck is usually prospect research, not the AI.
