Lavender is an AI-powered email intelligence platform designed to help sales professionals write more effective outbound emails. It integrates directly into email clients and sales engagement platforms, providing a real-time email score, personalization suggestions, and AI-driven coaching as reps compose messages. Lavender analyzes recipient data from social profiles and news to surface relevant talking points, and its writing assistant optimizes tone, length, clarity, and subject lines for maximum reply rates. The platform also gives sales leaders team-level analytics and coaching dashboards to identify improvement areas across the organization. Primarily used by SDRs, BDRs, AEs, and revenue teams at B2B companies, Lavender's key differentiator is its data-backed email scoring system trained on millions of emails, giving reps actionable, real-time feedback rather than generic writing tips.
