I'd like some suggestions as to how to best go about creating an application which can generate bespoke automated e-mails? What sort of language would be the best one to use for this? (I'm currently familiar with Python and JavaScript) Any helpful frameworks?

I would have thought that for this application to work well, some machine learning would have to be incorporated? (But this may be a bit too advanced for me at the moment!)
