Omnisend

Omnisend combines email, SMS, and web push notifications into a single platform built specifically for online stores.

There are pre-built automations for abandoned carts, browse abandonment, welcome series, and post-purchase messaging.

It also has AI-powered tools for writing emails, generating subject lines, building audience segments, and recommending products, with many features available even on lower-tier plans.

It’s a great fit for small and midsize ecommerce brands.

New App Store Toolkit for Marketers

Apple is giving app marketers a bigger toolkit and a new algorithm to learn.

Apple will now serve users app and game suggestions based on their interests, downloads, and behavior. Each recommendation includes an “App Note” explaining why it was surfaced, bringing a little more transparency to app discovery. The feature will appear across the Apps, Games, and Search tabs and evolve as user habits change.

Also, devs can now upload rich images and videos that appear in App Store product page headers and search results, creating new opportunities to promote seasonal campaigns, feature launches, and brand storytelling beyond traditional screenshots.

There’s also a new Asset Library that centralizes creative management and allows assets to be reused across promotions and in-app events. You can even submit new creative for approval without shipping a full app update.

Slashy

Slashy is an executive assistant that lives inside your inbox.

It drafts replies in your voice, surfaces conversations that need follow-up, prepares meeting briefs automatically, and nudges you when important emails are slipping through the cracks.

The goal is to reduce the mental overhead of managing relationships, not just the time spent typing.

Mailwarm

Mailwarm helps improve your sender reputation and keep your outbound emails out of spam.

It automates the email warm-up process by sending and receiving emails through a network of inboxes, generating engagement signals such as opens, replies, and “not spam” actions that mailbox providers use to evaluate trustworthiness.

Who is this for? Teams launching campaigns from new domains, recovering from deliverability issues, or scaling cold outreach efforts.

There’s also inbox placement monitoring, spam score tracking, and technical checks for email authentication standards like SPF, DKIM, and DMARC.

Moodloom

Moodloom is a visual discovery platform designed for creatives looking for inspiration without the noise of traditional social media.

Often described as a Pinterest alternative, it focuses on curated content across categories like design, fashion, art, and photography. One of its standout features is the ability to filter AI-generated images, giving users more control over what they see.

If you spend a lot of time collecting references for campaigns, creative projects, or mood boards, Moodloom is worth checking out.

Ideogram 4.0

Ideogram recently launched its new 4.0 model, introducing major upgrades to AI image generation.

The release focuses heavily on design workflows, with improved text rendering, better layout composition, and more control over generated visuals. The platform is particularly known for producing images that accurately incorporate typography, something many image generators still struggle with.

The update also adds new customization features, allowing users to create and apply their own visual styles across projects.

Whether you’re creating ad concepts, social graphics, posters, or presentation visuals, Ideogram is worth adding to your AI toolkit.

Salesforce Agentic Marketing

Salesforce’s latest updates bring AI agents directly into marketing workflows.

The biggest addition is Marketing Cloud Next, a redesigned platform that uses AI agents to create campaign briefs, build audience segments, generate personalized content, and optimize customer journeys with minimal human intervention.

AI agents can now also qualify leads, answer questions, nurture prospects, and pass high-intent opportunities to sales teams.
