[01] Guided tour

See one article go through the desk

Follow Dana's article on narrow support workflows from rough notes to a verified page. It plays on its own. Pause it any time, or pick a step.

Notes come in by email

Dana sends rough notes, a pilot report and two links. The desk reads the topic, the audience and one boundary: keep customer names private.

Article idea: start with narrow support workflows

We tried automating all of support at once and it backfired. Narrow workflows cut our response time 80%. Audience is early-stage SaaS founders. Please keep the customer names private.

[02] Agent desk

An agent desk works every article

Researcher, Writer, Fact-checker, Editor and Reviewer pass one draft along, each with a narrow job. Analysts and agents you configure keep work coming on a schedule.

[03] Studio

The Studio is where the desk learns how you work

Teach it once: how you write, what is true about your company, which words you never use. Every agent reads from the same place.

  • Brand Voice

    Writes the way you write

    Learns your sentence rhythm, signature phrases, contractions, first-person habits and reading level from your blog, newsletter and posts, then scores every draft for voice match.

  • Knowledge Base

    Your facts, cited

    Company facts, product details, your opinions, prior articles and approved sources. Agents pull what is relevant into research and cite it.

  • Brand onboarding

    Set up from your website

    Paste your website, upload a company PDF or paste text. Studio captures your name, tagline, products, audience, key terms, colors, logo and voice.

  • Highlight and ask

    Edit by asking

    Select a paragraph on the review page and say what you want. The new version goes back through fact-check before you can approve it.

  • Quality score

    Six scores on every draft

    Accuracy, sources, originality, voice match, readability, and search for both SEO and AI answers, plus an overall score.

  • Style guide

    Your words, enforced

    Preferred terms, banned phrases, tone and formatting rules. The Editor agent applies them to every draft.

  • Same idea, for investors

    Across 42 B2B SaaS pilot companies, narrow workflows improved median first-response time by 60%. That is the wedge we expand from.

    Audience personas

    One idea, three readers

    The same argument adapted for investors, customers or developers, with the same sources behind each version.

  • Workflows and calendar

    Formats you reuse

    Save formats like a weekly founder update or an industry analysis, and plan pieces on an editorial calendar.

  • Memory

    Tell it once

    Edits you make and answers you give are remembered and applied to future articles.

  • Version history

    Every version, with diffs

    Who changed what, the review result for each version, and the exact one you approved.

  • Insights

    What to write next

    Views and reads on published articles, next-topic suggestions, a Refresh agent for outdated posts, and AI-search readiness.

  • Connected accounts

    Approved posts go out on their own

    Connect X, LinkedIn and Instagram with OAuth. Once you approve a post, it is published through your account and read back. Approval is still required for every post.

[04] Idea Lab

Test an idea before you write it

Idea Lab learns from viral posts captured across social media and from your own post history. Six tools help you pick the idea, the hook and the week, and check surprising claims first.

[05] Evidence

Underpinned by the passage, not the vibe

The fact-checker quotes the exact source passage, proposes a precise sentence, and only asks you what only you can answer.

[10] FAQ

Questions founders ask

What does it cost?

Your first article is free once you confirm your email. After that it is $9 per article. Images are an add-on: 10 image credits for $5, added from your review page.

Will it sound like me?

Brand Voice learns from your blog, newsletter and posts: sentence rhythm, signature phrases, contractions, first-person use and reading level. Every draft gets a voice match score, and Memory keeps the edits you make so the next draft starts closer.

What happens when my notes and a source disagree?

The fact-checker quotes the source passage and asks you one question by email. Your answer goes into the draft. If you do not reply within 30 minutes, the order continues safely.

What exactly am I approving?

The exact text of one version, bound to its SHA-256 content hash and its destination. If a word changes after that, it becomes a new version, goes back through fact-check, and needs your approval again.

Where can it publish?

A verified web article is included. WordPress, Ghost and Webflow work once you connect your site. X, LinkedIn and Instagram go through accounts you connect with OAuth. The newsletter is written for you to send. Each version is approved on its own, and social posts are read back by ID before they count as published.

Do scheduled agents publish on their own?

No. Custom agents like a weekly columnist draft on a schedule, and connected accounts post automatically only after you approve. Nothing goes live without your approval.

What is the Studio?

Your workspace at /studio. It holds your Brand Voice, Knowledge Base, style guide, personas, custom agents, calendar, Idea Lab and insights, and every agent on the desk reads from it.

Will private details stay private?

Boundaries in your brief are enforced by the fact-checker. In the example on this page, a named pilot customer was replaced with “a pilot customer” because the brief asked for names to stay private.

Your notes are already the first draft.

Send them over. Approve the exact text. We handle everything in between.
