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.

Category

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.

Agentic AI vs AI wrappers vs custom AI: How to choose your path

You're about to spend $500K on an AI initiative. You've got 3 options on the table, and they'll lead you to wildly different places. Pick wrong, and you're rebuilding in 18 months. Pick right, and you'll have a system that scales, costs less to maintain, and actually does what executives promised.

The choice is between wrapping existing AI models, building custom AI solutions from scratch, or going agentic. Most teams don't understand the real trade-offs until they're locked into the wrong one.

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.
