The takeaway

What this panel suggests

The audience is mostly neutral and mildly skeptical. Their current alternatives are simple manual workflows: spreadsheets, Gmail drafting, and shared Google Docs. Those options are attractive because they are free and familiar, and several respondents feel they already work well enough. The main reason Thank You Email AI could be better is speed: it may save time after interviews and keep emails professional when candidates are busy. But that benefit is conditional. The dominant concern is whether the output will sound generic or impersonal rather than truly tailored to the interview conversation. Respondents want the tool to preserve genuine tone, specific discussion points, and a sense of authenticity. If it cannot do that, their current method remains preferable. One additional barrier is workflow fit: if the product does not connect cleanly to how people already capture notes and draft follow-ups, they may not switch. Willingness to pay is low overall, with a median of $0, but a small segment would consider a modest subscription if personalization is clearly strong.

A hypothesis to test

Pricing & positioning

Keep pricing low-friction and justify it through stronger personalization, not generic AI drafting. A small free tier or trial may help, with paid plans only becoming attractive if the tool clearly captures interview-specific details and saves meaningful time.

Most respondents anchor to $0 because they can already use spreadsheets, Gmail, or shared docs for free. A minority would pay a modest monthly fee if the output feels tailored, genuine, and professional. The upper end observed was $15/month.

Lorena Kuhlmanneutral

Right now, I use a spreadsheet to keep track of my interviews and draft thank-you notes in Gmail. I send them myself after each panel interview. A tool like this could be better if it saved me more time and helped me personalize the notes more deeply based on specific discussion points, which is crucial for senior roles. If it's just generic, it wouldn't be much better than what I do now. What would keep me on my current option is the control and personalization I can achieve manually. I would pay $5 per month for a tool that significantly streamlines this process without sacrificing quality.

Marion Murazikneutral

Currently, I use a specific AI assistant to draft these emails, which I then meticulously edit in Gmail. Before that, it was entirely manual. The primary advantage of your tool appears to be speed, which is appealing. However, I'd need to rigorously test its output against my own drafts to ensure it maintains the precision and professional tone I require. A key concern would be how well it integrates specific, nuanced discussion points from an interview without sounding generic. My current process is well-established and requires no additional expenditure. Therefore, I'm not willing to pay for this service. $0 per month.

Akula Bharadwajneutral

Currently, I manually draft all my thank-you emails in my notes app, then copy them over to my email client. It works, but it's time-consuming, especially when I have multiple interviews in a week. The AI generator could save me a lot of time and ensure my emails are always professional, which is a big plus. However, I'm concerned about the personalization aspect – will it sound genuine enough? If it truly generates tailored emails in seconds, it would be better than my current method. I'd pay up to $5 per month for this, billed monthly. The manual process, while tedious, is free, so the value proposition needs to be very strong.

Lasse Welschneutral

Currently, I maintain a spreadsheet to track my job applications and use a personal template bank for my follow-up emails, which I then write manually. The idea of an AI generating these emails quickly is appealing, especially if it can capture specific discussion points accurately, as I value conciseness and professionalism. However, I'm concerned about the potential for generic output and the loss of my personal touch. The manual process, while time-consuming, ensures a level of personalization that I find important for making a good impression. I'm not sure how well an AI could replicate that nuance. I would not pay for this service; my current method, while requiring effort, is effective for my needs and budget.

Delbert Larsonnegative

Right now, I'm copying and pasting old drafts into Gmail and tweaking them by hand. It's time-consuming, but it's free. This tool could be better if it genuinely saved me significant time and produced more personalized results than I can manage myself. What would make it worse is if it felt too generic or if the personalization felt forced. If I'm being honest, the process of tailoring these emails is part of how I stay focused and engaged with each application, so it's hard to justify paying for something that might shortcut that. I'd be willing to pay at most $0 per month for this.

Carine Renaultneutral

Currently, I draft my follow-up emails by hand, using free templates I find online. I also sometimes use a simple spreadsheet to track which companies I've applied to and when I sent emails. The idea of an AI generating a draft quickly is appealing, especially when I'm pressed for time with my thesis and job applications. However, I'm concerned about the personalization – will it sound too generic? My current method, though time-consuming, ensures I can tailor each email specifically to the conversation. Given my budget as a PhD candidate, I'm hesitant to pay for writing tools. I wouldn't pay more than $0 per month for this type of service.

Lindsay Powlowskineutral

Currently, I work directly with my clients in shared Google Docs to craft their thank-you emails. It's a very hands-on, collaborative process, and frankly, it's one of the most impactful parts of my service. The idea of an AI generator is intriguing, especially for efficiency. However, I worry about losing the personal touch and the nuanced feedback I provide. For me, the value is in the coaching aspect, not just the output. If it could genuinely speed up the drafting process while allowing me to still inject my expertise and personal guidance, that would be compelling. But right now, I struggle to see how it offers more than what I already do. I wouldn't pay anything for this specific tool as I already offer this service myself, $0 per month.

Ekaaksh Panickerneutral

Currently, I draft my follow-up emails manually in Outlook after each interview. I meticulously review my Notion notes for key discussion points and tailor each email to the specific interviewer and role. While an AI generator could speed this up, I'm concerned about the personalization aspect. Would it truly capture the nuances of a conversation or just produce generic templates? The prompt doesn't specify a plan for individualization beyond basic inputs. If it can genuinely offer a more impactful, personalized draft than my current method, I might consider it. However, given my current process, I'm not willing to pay for this service. $0 per month.

Francisca Villa Lomelineutral

Right now, I'm managing my application emails, including thank you notes, through a paid AI writing assistant and then I finalize them manually. I also keep detailed notes in spreadsheets, which helps me track client interactions. For thank you emails after interviews, I'm currently just drafting them myself or using generic templates. What would make Thank You Email AI better is if it integrated more seamlessly with my existing note-taking system, perhaps by pulling details from my spreadsheets. The biggest advantage would be saving time, especially with the volume of applications I'm sending. However, if it's just another tool to input data into, it might not be much better than what I have. I'd be willing to pay up to $15 per month for something that genuinely streamlines this process and produces a high-quality, personalized output quickly. I'm not sure about the pricing basis though, is it per month?

Giel de Leeuwneutral

Currently, I meticulously craft follow-up emails by hand, drawing on notes from my interview debriefs with a colleague. I also use a detailed spreadsheet to track my application progress. While the idea of saving time is appealing, the manual process allows me to ensure the tone and specific details are precisely right – something I'd worry an AI might miss. I'd need to see how well it captures nuance and the specific talking points we discussed. If it could truly replicate that personalized touch without sacrificing accuracy, it might be useful. For now, I'd be hesitant to pay for such a tool. Perhaps $5 per month, if it were exceptionally good and saved significant time.
