TL;DR:

Lyne.ai has effectively shut down as of November 2024, with users reporting frozen accounts, poor AI quality, and non-existent customer support. SalesRobot emerges as the superior alternative, offering advanced AI personalization, LinkedIn automation, visual personalization with images/GIFs, and better pricing at $59/month vs Lyne.ai's $120/month.

If you've been using or following Lyne.ai, you might be wondering…

What happened to this innovative AI-powered email marketing tool?

Lyne.ai created a niche for itself as a go-to tool for personalized outreach, using AI to simplify the process of writing cold emails that truly resonate.

In this blog, we'll be talking about what Lyne.ai used to do and the perfect alternative for this tool that replaces Lyne.ai's features and has more advanced AI features to offer.

Ready? Let's begin.

What was Lyne.ai?

Lyne.ai was an AI-powered cold email platform designed to make outreach more efficient and effective.

It stood out for its ability to help businesses send personalized cold emails at scale, making it an amazing tool for sales teams and marketers.

Here are some of the main features Lyne.ai provided:

• Superfast Email Personalization: Lyne.ai could produce 1,000 unique email intros per hour, allowing users to personalize at a scale that is impossible with manual writing.
• AI-Powered "Icebreakers": One of Lyne.ai's core features was its ability to generate unique, context-driven icebreakers.

By analyzing news, case studies, and public mentions of companies and individuals, it created highly specific openers for emails, making messages more engaging and increasing the chances of a response.

• Customizable Templates: Lyne.ai allowed users to build customized templates that could be reused and adjusted as needed.

This saved time while ensuring that each email maintained a personal touch.

• LinkedIn Email Scraping via Chrome Extension: Lyne.ai's Chrome extension enabled users to extract professional email addresses directly from LinkedIn Sales Navigator, simplifying the process of building a high-quality prospect list.
• Workflow Automation: With Lyne.ai's automated workflows, users could efficiently manage their outreach campaigns, transforming raw prospect data into highly personalized emails with minimal manual effort.

These features helped simplify cold emailing, making it easier for users to generate meaningful connections with their prospects.

But with its recent shutdown in November 2024, it's only fair to find an alternative that not only replicates Lyne.ai's functionality but also provides new, advanced tools to drive even better results.

What Actually Happened to Lyne.ai? 

As of November 2024, Lyne.ai has effectively shut down, with users reporting widespread service degradation, technical failures, and abandoned customer support.

Some of the real issues that plagued Lyne.ai include:

⛔ Frozen Accounts & Service Failures: Users reported their accounts being frozen without any sort of prior warning, with searches freezing mid-process and no ability to run new searches.

⛔Poor Quality Output: The AI's quality deteriorated significantly, producing irrelevant and low-quality personalization that made the software unusable for many business types.

🔇 Non-Existent Customer Support: Multiple users report complete radio silence from Lyne.ai customer support, with no documentation available and zero response to support tickets.

As a result, Lyne.ai is no longer a viable option for businesses looking to customize their outreach at scale.

So what is?

Enter SalesRobot: The Better Alternative to Lyne.ai

Now that Lyne.ai is no longer an option I'd like to introduce you to SalesRobot.

A tool that not only fills the gap but also adds new, advanced features to optimize your email and LinkedIn outreach.

But why should you believe me? Well, that's okay, you don't have to.

But hear me out and judge for yourself ☺️

In fact, here's a quick comparison between SalesRobot and Lyne.ai in case you want to skim it 😺

Here's what makes SalesRobot the ultimate choice for your outreach campaigns:

#1 Advanced AI Capabilities

SalesRobot takes personalization to a new level by using AI to identify unique aspects of each prospect's profile, such as volunteering experience, top certifications, and other distinguishing factors.

This means your emails and LinkedIn messages aren't just personalized; they're relevant in ways that resonate with each recipient on a deeper level.

In addition to text messages, SalesRobot can hyper-personalize images and GIFs, adding a dynamic, visual element to your emails that enhances engagement and leaves a lasting impression on recipients.

This makes each message feel thoughtfully crafted, increasing the likelihood of a positive response.

If you wanna get more personal than this to make sure that you get more responses, you could include a voice or video message in your DMs.

This is automated by our AI too! 

All you need to do is click on the voice and video message feature while making your message sequence.

However you might want to include personalized voice or video messages as follow-ups, rather than starting a conversation with them.

Not to mention, SalesRobot also has:

• AI Appointment Setter: Managing replies on LinkedIn can get overwhelming pretty quickly.

SalesRobot’s AI Appointment Setter takes this off your plate. You can:

• Let the AI handle replies automatically (Autopilot mode)
• Or approve every message before it’s sent (Copilot mode)

Either way, you stay in control while saving hours of back-and-forth.

•  AI Variables for Personalization: SalesRobot uses AI Variables to automatically customize every message with prospect’s profile-specific details so your outreach feels personal, not robotic. 

Like using gender based salutations, profile-based social proof, and you can even create your custom variables.

• Smart Commenting: This feature will actually go through your prospect’s profile and leave a personalized comment on their LinkedIn post.

#2 Increased Traffic and Lead Generation

SalesRobot's personalization tools aren't just for outreach, they can drive measurable results for web traffic and lead generation.

By crafting messages that speak directly to recipients' interests, SalesRobot encourages recipients to click through to your website or landing pages, increasing the likelihood of conversions.

#3 CRM Integration and Workflow Automation

SalesRobot integrates seamlessly with your CRM, enabling smooth management of your outreach data.

Automated workflows reduce manual steps, simplifying all the work from importing data to sending out personalized emails.

This makes it easy to handle even large-scale campaigns efficiently.

#4 Account Safety

The biggest concern while automating any outreach is about safety.

Email outreach automation can damage your domain reputation and LinkedIn outreach can get your account banned.

But with SalesRobot, you can rest assured as it has an inbuilt safe mode with daily automation limits to keep your account safe and automate your day-to-day activities in a more human-like manner.

#5 Customer Service

Let's admit, it's not like you will never run into any problems while automating your outreach.

For those times in need, SalesRobot is here to save the day.

We have the best customer service available 24*7 to help you solve your issues as soon as possible.

And all this starting just from $59/ month; no gatekeeping. With an additional 35% discount if you choose to pay annually. How cool is that?

Conclusion

While Lyne.ai was once great at AI email personalization, their shutdown in November 2024 due to service quality issues, frozen accounts, and non-existent customer support has made them completely unavailable for businesses.

SalesRobot, on the other hand, is a reliable, comprehensive, and results-driven solution.

Our LinkedIn automation is also amazing, and you can try it out firsthand for free without making any commitments, for 2 weeks!

So if your goal is to get some great B2B leads, LinkedIn might work out better for you.

Try SalesRobot and let us know how it helped.

Until next time!
