Good to know

Frequently asked questions

Can it generate publication-ready copy?

No — Kerna handles correspondence, not editorial content itself. Articles, press releases, and published work require your editorial process. Kerna writes the emails around the journalism.

How does it handle source confidentiality?

Kerna processes email content in real time without persistent storage. Source identities and unpublished information remain inside Gmail. Important for investigative journalism.

Can editors and writers share access?

Yes. Business plan and above support team accounts with shared templates. Useful for newsrooms maintaining consistent editorial voice across staff.

Is it useful for newsletter publishers?

Yes. Newsletter subscriber communications (welcome emails, retention outreach, subscription renewal reminders) are a strong use case. Add the writing efficiency of Kerna to your editorial work.
