Email. Social. Outreach.
One AI-Powered
Growth Stack.
Helios Flow AI ships three tightly integrated products: Social Media Manager, Email Lab, and Crusader.
Email Lab is one of the first email builders designed for the AI age, using a proprietary heuristic to guide AI toward a human-centered design sense — a first in the industry. Crusader isn't just any ESP — it's a robust, feature-rich platform for email domination. Social Media Manager keeps your entire creative workflow in one place — no tabbing out to a separate design tool and back. Define a strategic angle, and the AI generates genuinely different, platform-native posts for each channel — not five rewordings of the same caption, but distinct posts that still read as one campaign. Choose your image source: AI-generated from a prompt, AI with a reference photo ("look-alike"), or your own uploads from a built-in asset catalog. Need text on the image? Add caption overlays right inline with a drag-and-drop editor — no external design app required. Generate, design, review, and schedule without ever leaving the platform. We support blogs, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Threads, Bluesky, and X (Twitter — available as an add-on).
All three products share one superpower: you choose the AI. Set default models across your account, then override on a per-task basis — and see exactly what each generation will cost before you hit go. AI pricing is a moving target: some models and services are getting rapidly more expensive while others race to the bottom. Helios is the "have it all" platform — swap providers any time, chase the best quality-to-cost ratio, and never get locked in.
AI does the heavy lifting. You hit approve. Nothing leaves your account without you saying so.

Crusader — Pay-As-You-Send Email Delivery
Crusader is our advanced email delivery engine for evergreen drip campaigns, high-volume blasts, and AI-generated cold outreach. No monthly fee. You only pay when you send. Crusader is available exclusively as an add-on to Social Media Manager and/or Email Lab — it cannot be purchased on its own.
Bring Your Own SMTP
per email sent
Hook up any SMTP provider you already use. Cheapest option.
Bounce tracking requires additional setup, or you can manage your bounces manually.
Helios SMTP (Mailgun)
per email sent
Send through our infrastructure. Requires DNS setup.
Bounce & Unsubscribe tracking included.
Supercharge Your Outreach
These subscription add-ons extend Crusader with advanced capabilities. Each requires an active Crusader setup.
Helios Tracker
/month
Enables direct click tracking by syncing data from your website via REST API. Tracks signups, logins, and daily app interactions — five additional signals beyond the built-in proxied click tracking. Targets automatically move from cold to warm or warm to hot as they engage. Requires website integration (Node, NextJS, Ruby on Rails; Wordpress + Shopify coming soon).
Helios Email Lead-Gen
AI-powered lead discovery. Describe your ideal contacts and we find verified emails daily. Billed per verified email.
X (Twitter) Publishing
/tweet
/tweet with link
Publish to X (Twitter) directly from Social Media Manager. X charges a platform fee per post — we pass it through with minimal overhead. Posts containing links cost more due to X's pricing.
About Helios AI Credits
- Each subscription product includes 1,000 Helios AI credits / month. The bundle gets 2,000 shared credits.
- Overage is billed at $0.005 per Helios AI credit (that's ½ cent).
- Helios AI credits do not map 1:1 to AI provider tokens. Choosing a more expensive model burns more Helios credits per request — but the price per Helios credit always stays the same.
- Both products let you choose your AI on a per-task basis: Anthropic, Apollo, Deepseek, fal.ai, OpenAI, Perplexity, and Stability AI, with more providers coming soon.
Built to Work Alone.
Better Together.
Each product solves a specific bottleneck. Use one, use two, or stack all three with the bundle + Crusader add-on for the full workflow.
One Angle. Every Platform.
No Context-Switching.
Define a strategic angle once, and the AI generates genuinely distinct, platform-native posts for each channel — a LinkedIn thought piece, a punchy Instagram caption, a Threads quip — all from the same creative direction. Nothing publishes until a human signs off.
Images stay in-house too: generate from a prompt, use AI with a reference photo, or pull from your own asset catalog. Add caption overlays with a built-in drag-and-drop editor — no separate design tool needed. Generate, design, review, and schedule without ever leaving the platform.
- Press releases, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, Bluesky & X (Twitter — available as an add-on)
- One angle → distinct, channel-native posts (not copy-pasted rewrites)
- Built-in image generation, asset library & inline caption overlay editor
- Human-in-the-loop approval on every single post
- Regenerate & refine without limits (within your credit budget)
- Pick the AI model per task: Anthropic, Apollo, Deepseek, fal.ai, OpenAI, Perplexity, and Stability AI
- 1,000 Helios AI credits included each month
Heuristic-Driven, AI-Enhanced Emails.
In Your Voice. With Your Images.
Email Lab is an AI email generator that uses your brand voice settings to draft messaging that actually sounds like you — not like a generic SaaS bot. Bring your own images, or let the AI generate them for you on the fly.
Newsletters, product launches, drip sequences, re-engagement flows — Email Lab handles the writing, layout, and image work in one place. Pair it with Crusader and you've got a complete generate-and-send pipeline.
- Brand-voice-aware AI email generation
- Use your own images, or generate them with AI in-line
- Drips, newsletters, launches, re-engagement — all in one workflow
- Pick your AI: Anthropic, Apollo, Deepseek, fal.ai, OpenAI, Perplexity, and Stability AI
- 1,000 Helios AI credits included each month
Advanced Email Delivery
That Only Charges When You Send.
Crusader is our high-performance delivery engine. It runs evergreen drip campaigns, high-volume blasts, and AI-generated cold outreach — all from the same workflow your team already uses for Email Lab and Social Media Manager.
No monthly fee. No annual contract. You pay per email sent: $0.0010 per email if you bring your own SMTP, or $0.002 per email if you send through our Mailgun-backed infrastructure (DNS setup required).
Crusader is sold only as an add-on to Social Media Manager and/or Email Lab. You can't buy it on its own — it's a power-up for the products that already live in your stack.
- Evergreen drip campaigns
- High-volume email blasts
- AI-generated cold outreach
- Temperature-based engagement: targets move from cold → warm → hot as they engage, automatically increasing send frequency
- Open-rate and click-rate tracking included out of the box
- BYO SMTP, or use ours
- Pay-as-you-send — zero monthly cost
Two Ways to Track Clicks
Proxied click tracking works out of the box — no setup required. Links in your emails are automatically routed through Helios, so every click is recorded instantly. UTM parameters are appended on redirect, so your Google Analytics keeps working as expected.
Direct click tracking via the Helios Tracker add-on goes further. It syncs data directly from your website or app and gives Crusader five additional signals beyond clicks: free account creation, paid account creation, daily app interactions, logins, and page-level read depth.
With either mode, targets automatically move from cold → warm → hot as they engage, increasing Crusader's send frequency without any manual work. Build granular crusades that target exactly the right people — for example, one crusade for users who've clicked but haven't signed up, another for free-tier users, and a third for paying customers.
Direct tracking requires integration with your website (Node, NextJS, Ruby on Rails; Wordpress + Shopify integrations coming soon).

Generate & Approve
The AI drafts everything. You review, regenerate, refine, and approve. Anything that goes out goes out because you said so.
Pick the Brain.
We Built the Body.
Helios doesn't lock you into one model. Both Social Media Manager and Email Lab let you choose your AI provider on a per-task basis — Anthropic, Apollo, Deepseek, fal.ai, OpenAI, Perplexity, and Stability AI, with more coming online regularly.
Want a Claude-quality long-form press release and a cheap, fast Gemini draft for an Instagram caption? Do both. The Helios AI credit system charges proportionally to the model you pick — smarter models burn more credits, simpler ones burn fewer — but the price per Helios credit never moves.
