Flying high with AI: How Cape.io revolutionized KLM's email marketing with AirMail

Discover how Cape.io partnered with KLM to build AirMail, an innovative AI co-pilot that generates highly customized email campaigns with unprecedented speed, efficiency, and scale.

We're thrilled to share a recent success story that highlights the power of AI in transforming traditional marketing workflows: our collaboration with KLM to develop an innovative AI-powered email generation tool called AirMail.

The challenge: Manual effort, missed opportunities


Before Airmail, KLM faced a common challenge in large-scale marketing operations: the sheer volume of manual effort required for email campaign creation. Crafting compelling content, translating it into multiple languages, and ensuring brand consistency across numerous campaigns was a time-consuming process. 

The solution: A hackathon sparks innovation


The idea for AirMail was born from a dynamic hackathon where Cape.io's AI experts teamed up with KLM's marketing professionals. The goal was ambitious: explore how AI could generate marketing emails based on specific inputs. The results were immediate and impressive. A successful proof of concept emerged, demonstrating the potential to significantly reduce manual effort and accelerate campaign deployment. This initial success paved the way for rigorous testing across various markets, ultimately leading to the full-scale development and implementation of AirMail.

Introducing AirMail: Your AI-powered email co-pilot


AirMail is more than just an email generator; it's a strategic marketing partner. We've designed it to seamlessly integrate into KLM's existing workflows, offering a user-friendly interface that empowers marketers to create highly customised and effective email campaigns with unprecedented speed and efficiency.


Here's how it works:
  • Effortless campaign setup: Users can easily select key campaign parameters. Whether it's a single destination or multiple, a specific geographical focus like Europe, or a thematic approach such as city breaks, culinary tours, nature escapes, or arts and culture experiences, Airmail adapts to their needs.


  • AI-driven content generation: The core of AirMail lies in its advanced AI capabilities. Once parameters are set, the AI automatically generates all necessary email copy, including compelling titles, engaging snippets, and attention-grabbing subject lines. This eliminates the need for manual writing, saving countless hours and ensuring a consistent tone of voice.


  • Seamless image integration: Visuals are crucial for captivating email campaigns. AirMail is connected to KLM's image library, automatically integrating relevant and high-quality images that perfectly complement the generated text.


  • Optimization at your fingertips: We understand that every detail matters. AirMail allows users to regenerate specific parts of the email – a subject line, a particular paragraph, or a snippet – for further optimization. This iterative process ensures that every email performs at its best.

Partnering for the future


Our partnership with KLM on AirMail exemplifies Cape.io's commitment to leveraging cutting-edge AI to solve real-world business challenges. We're proud to have helped KLM streamline their marketing efforts, empower their teams, and ultimately, fly higher with more effective and efficient email campaigns.

Navigating Channel 4’s 2026 closed caption mandate

As ad compliance requirements tighten across the UK and Europe, closed captioning has evolved from an accessibility checkbox to a strategic necessity. Whether you're managing CTV campaigns or social media creative, automated ad testing for caption quality is no longer optional - it's fundamental to reaching today's fragmented, multi-screen audiences.

The advertising landscape is facing a seismic shift. By March 1, Channel 4 will become the first UK broadcaster to mandate closed captions across all advertising - including linear TV, streaming, and sponsorships.

The mandate is  a redefined standard for global inclusivity. Here is everything you need to know about the new mandate and how to stay ahead of the curve.

One platform, many realities: How creative automation platforms resolve the global vs. local tension

Scaling global marketing without losing local relevance requires more than brand guidelines and templates - it requires a creative automation platform designed for both global control and local flexibility. Most systems optimize for standardization, but scaling ad creative production across markets demands architecture that enables creative variation and adaptation by local experts without fragmenting brand governance.

Many global advertisers are chasing the same ideal: scale without losing relevance.

Consistency without uniformity.
Efficiency without bureaucracy.

It sounds simple. In practice, it’s one of the hardest tensions to resolve in modern marketing.

The global vs. local challenge isn’t new, but it’s becoming more urgent. As brands expand across markets, channels, and cultures, the question is no longer whether you should scale globally, but how you do so without erasing the nuance that makes marketing effective in the first place.

Everyone is looking for this balance. Very few get it right.

The guardrails of growth: Why creative intelligence demands compliance

Generative AI can produce thousands of creative variants, but most compliance systems are still manual, fragmented, and reactive, unable to keep pace with today’s velocity. To move fast without breaking things, the industry needs a new approach: real-time verification, programmatic enforcement, and end-to-end visibility. Embedded inside the stack, not bolted on at the end.
