At an upcoming TCEA Lunch and Learn, I’ll be walking through creation of AI-powered newsletters. This is really a 30-minute webinar on creating newsletters from links you provide. You can use an existing set of custom instructions, then fine-tune them for a Google Gemini Gem, BoodleBox Unlimited Bot, ChatGPT Custom GPT, or Claude Project. In this way, you get consistent look-n-feel to your newsletters without all the hard work of coding in HTML or whatever. For fun, I had Claude cook up an AI-Powered Newsletter page.

AI-Powered Newsletter

I had “cooked” one up earlier this week using TCEA blue and gold colors, and it looked pretty cool, so I thought I’d share it. This version below, however, didn’t start out with AI-powered newsletter content I had prepared in mind. Of course, I have the Memory option turned on in Claude, so it’s possible it ignored my instructions to come up with something.

Prompt

This is unrelated to any other chats. I need a fun visual interactive for k-12 educators about creating AI-POWERED newsletters.

Obviously, I didn’t provide enough direction. What I really wanted was one of those fancy Claude AI interactive visuals (see Photosynthesis one).

But, hey, I typed this out on the way back from grocery shopping on my phone, and didn’t think it through. The result follows my “unique” web page design look (which is green to separate it from TCEA’s blue and gold), but my Claude skills must have included some content on newsletter creation (they do, and I forgot).

Claude said:

Here’s your interactive — a single self-contained HTML file. Here’s what’s inside:

10 sections, fully interactive:

1. Why AI? — The case for using AI on newsletters
2. 4-Step Workflow — Gather → Prompt → Edit → Distribute
3. Live Prompt Builder — Dropdowns for audience, tone, and type; educator enters their bullet points; generates a copy-ready AI prompt
4. Tool Selector — Click any tool (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Canva AI, Copilot) to see when it fits best
5. Sample Newsletter — A realistic AI draft with an embedded “fix this before sending” callout
6. Pre-Send Checklist — 8 items with a live progress bar
7. 5-Question Quiz — Scenario-based, with instant feedback and a score at the end

Drop the HTML file anywhere — no internet connection required after load (except Google Fonts). Works on any device.

So, a happy mistake with a fascinating result. Be sure to go all the way down to the prompt builder and check out the interactive quiz.

Result

What a pleasant surprise.

Next Steps?

I suppose the next step may be to actually create a spam emailer that you can use (think of YAMM or FormMule) to send out email versions of your enewsletter. Of course, you’d still have to stay under the 1500 emails a day limit if you’re using Google’s Gmail, but, hmm, the sky is the limit on vibe-coded mail server of some sort. Of course, I don’t know much about that. I could be wrong.
