SYDNEY, Australia, January 10, 2026 (EZ Newswire) -- Bento, the AI-powered email marketing and automation platform serving over 4,000 small businesses, today announces Tanuki AI — an AI marketing agent that transforms plain-English descriptions into complete, production-ready email automations and campaigns.

Instead of dragging and dropping nodes or learning complex interfaces, users simply describe what they need: "create a welcome series for new subscribers" or "build an abandoned cart recovery flow." Tanuki generates the complete workflow — triggers, delays, conditions, and email content — in seconds.

Tanuki AI includes two operating modes: Ask mode, which confirms actions before execution, and YOLO mode for users who want fully autonomous building. Every AI action can be reversed with one-click undo. The assistant works across all of Bento's email editors — visual, plain text, and raw HTML — adapting to each user's preferred workflow.

For developers, Bento's MCP Server integration brings Tanuki's capabilities directly into tools like Cursor and Claude Code, enabling teams to iterate on email copy and automation logic without leaving their development environment.
