What you can do with Copilot

Copilot can do everything the beehiiv MCP can do, since it draws on the same understanding of your publication and data. The difference is that Copilot lives inside your beehiiv account, so you never have to leave the app or connect a separate external AI tool to get that help. This article walks through what that looks like in practice.

You can ask Copilot to help with the writing itself, from a first draft to a final polish.

Example prompts:

• "Write an intro paragraph for my next post about [topic], in the same tone as my last five posts."
• "Give me three alternate subject lines for this draft that lean more curious than descriptive."
• "This section is running long. Tighten it down without losing the main point."

Because Copilot is publication-aware, you can ask it to help interpret your own performance data rather than general benchmarks.

Example prompts:

• "Why did my open rate drop on last Tuesday's send compared to the two before it?"
• "Which of my last ten posts had the highest click-through rate, and what do they have in common?"
• "My bounce rate went up this month. Walk me through what might be causing it."

You can use Copilot as a thinking partner for what to write next, not just how to write it.

Example prompts:

• "Based on my highest-performing posts this quarter, suggest three topics for next month."
• "I want to run a two-part series. Help me outline what each part should cover."
• "Suggest a send-time and cadence for a new weekly roundup, based on how my current posts perform."

Copilot can talk through subscriber growth the way a newsletter strategist would, grounded in your own numbers.

Example prompts:

• "My subscriber growth has flattened over the past month. What would you look at first?"
• "I'm thinking about adding a referral incentive. What should I consider before launching one?"
• "Compare my free-to-paid conversion this month to last month and suggest one thing to test."

You can ask Copilot to help make sense of who your subscribers are and structure that data.

Example prompts:

• "Tag every subscriber who has opened my last four posts but never clicked a link as 'Low Engagement.'"
• "Set up a segment of paid subscribers who joined in the last 60 days, so I can check in on them."
• "Draft a two-question poll asking readers whether they'd rather see more interviews or more solo essays."

You can talk through the experience new subscribers have from the moment they land on your page.

Example prompts:

• "Rewrite my subscribe form headline to focus on the outcome someone gets from joining, not just 'sign up for updates.'"
• "Add a step to my welcome flow that introduces my paid tier after the second email."
• "I'm running a giveaway to grow my list. Draft the subscribe form copy for a dedicated landing page."

You can get a quick read on your ad and membership business without digging through separate reports.

Example prompts:

• "Summarize my sponsorship agreements closing in the next two weeks, including brand and deliverables."
• "Draft a description for a new paid tier called 'Insider' priced at $12/month."
• "What ad categories have I run the fewest sponsorships in this quarter?"

You can plan out multi-step email sequences and get help writing the emails inside them.

Example prompts:

• "Outline a four-email re-engagement sequence for subscribers who haven't opened anything in 45 days."
• "Write email 2 of my welcome sequence, focused on my most popular post from the last six months."
• "Look at my current onboarding sequence and tell me where subscribers are most likely to drop off."

If you run a podcast alongside your newsletter, you can use Copilot to connect the two.

Example prompts:

• "Turn the transcript from this week's episode into a newsletter post in my usual voice."
• "Which three podcast episodes had the strongest listener retention, and what do they have in common?"
• "Draft a short newsletter blurb promoting this week's episode, with a hook that would make someone want to listen."

You can ask Copilot to review your site the way a strategist would, without pulling reports yourself.

Example prompts:

• "Check my last 10 published posts for meta descriptions that are missing or too short."
• "Rewrite the title tag for my homepage so it's under 60 characters and includes what my newsletter is about."
• "I'm renaming a page from 'Resources' to 'Guides.' What should I check before making that change?"
