7. Out
   Finish with

   Editor-approved briefings and publishable drafts linked to their sources

AI does the heavy lifting, people stay in charge

Use AI to interpret permitted inputs, suggest structured mappings and generate candidate outputs for the three stated task modules. Use deterministic code for arithmetic, schema validation, hard constraints and reproducible tests. Review source-linked explanations and uncertainty before accepting results. One fixed source set and approved style guide; final editorial checks and publication decisions remain human. A model suggestion is never a verified fact, professional decision or authorization to act.

What your team sees

Primary screens: Source intake and topic setup, Editable briefing and draft preview, Client proof and delivery. Use a thumbnail gallery for briefings, a large central editing canvas, and a right-hand panel for sources, constraints and comments. Let users compare versions side by side. Display draft, changes requested and approved states. Provide a client preview link with comments anchored to the relevant asset. Make the task-specific outcome editor-approved briefings and publishable drafts linked to their sources visible beside its evidence, review state and value baseline.

Accounts and administration

Project ownership, asset versions, client comments, approval states, usage allowances, revision limits, download history and a rights record for supplied material. Add organization access boundaries, named reviewers, usage caps, data retention controls, export logs and explicit approval for external actions.

Integrations and data access

Customer-owned feeds, authorized documents and permitted research sources. Cloud asset storage, document import/export and publishing destinations. Start with file exchange and validate destination specifications before promising direct publishing. Start with authorized file exchange. Validate current provider access, usage rights and schema behavior before promising a connector.

We build with our own AI software development factory, so most implementations take days to a few weeks of creation time, not months. You see working software at every step, and exact timing depends on availability.

1. 1

   Scoping call

   Day 1

   Thirty minutes on your process, your data and how you want to run it: for your own team, or for your clients. You get a fixed scope and price for the MVP.

2. 2

   MVP

   5 days

   One buyer segment, one recurring use case; first modules: aggregate permitted content from many sources into one place; generate short summaries of articles or stories. Manual review in the loop. Built by our AI software factory.

3. 3

   Paid pilot

   6 days

   Accounts, roles, review states, audit trail and the first integration, hardened for two to three paying pilot customers.

4. 4

   Full product

   2 weeks

   Self-serve onboarding, billing, monitoring and the wider integration set.

5. 5

   Run and improve

   Monthly

   We host, monitor and improve it for a fixed monthly fee, or hand it over to your team. How the retainer works.

Why we start with an MVP

An MVP, or minimum viable product, is the smallest version that your users can actually work with. It is not a cheap version of the full solution. It is a test, built to answer the questions that decide whether the rest is worth building.

1. Pick the riskiest assumption. Here: will PR and communications teams producing briefings and published content from many sources use it to solve "teams gather and summarize content across many tools, then rewrite it for briefings and publication, losing sources and review state along the way"?
2. Build only what tests it. One team, one use case, a few core modules. People do the rest by hand for now.
3. Run a paid pilot. Agree quality and outcome thresholds before the pilot using this measure: Accepted briefings per editorial hour and corrections after publication.
4. Measure, then decide. Track accepted briefings per editorial hour and corrections after publication; accepted-output rate; material error rate; reviewer correction time; actual repeat purchase. Then expand, change course or stop, with evidence instead of opinions.

MVP scope for this solution. Pilot scope: One fixed source set and approved style guide; final editorial checks and publication decisions remain human. Implement one approved input format, a bounded representative case set and the first two task modules: aggregate permitted content from many sources into one place; generate short summaries of articles or stories. Support the third module with operator review: adapt the feed to stated interests and preferences. Include source references, corrections, basic organization access, approval states, export and value measurement. Use managed operator assistance for unresolved exceptions. The cost estimate covers this narrow prototype, not unrestricted multi-tenant scale, complex production integrations, specialist certification or physical operations.

After the MVP. Once paid pilots prove usefulness, automate repeatable reviewed steps and add one verified source integration. Expand supported inputs and case volume only after new evaluation cases pass. Build reusable customer configurations and recurring value reports around editor-approved briefings and publishable drafts linked to their sources. Retain the explicit scope boundary: One fixed source set and approved style guide; final editorial checks and publication decisions remain human.

What the build depends on. Source upload and preview, asynchronous generation jobs, editable version history, reviewer access and tested export formats. High-fidelity publishing requires specialist editorial QA. Obtain representative authorized cases, baseline measurements, qualified reviewers and a buyer-side decision owner. Specific limitation: One fixed source set and approved style guide; final editorial checks and publication decisions remain human.

A planning range to start the conversation, not a quote. You pay per phase, so you can stop after the MVP.

Running costs per month

Selling it to your own clients: the go-to-market playbook

Pricing to test

Test a USD 300-1,500 fixed pilot for one defined source and briefing package. Offer a monthly production allowance after repeat demand. Quote complex data, audio or specialist publishing work separately. These are test prices, not market benchmarks. Package the initial sale as one bounded editor-approved briefings and publishable drafts linked to their sources. Recurring fees must specify volume, review depth and integration support. For exchanges, test a disclosed coordination or successful-service fee rather than holding customer funds. Reprice only after measuring real delivery labor; platform-build cost is separate from a commercial pilot fee.

Message to test

Reduce manual gathering and rewriting while keeping sources and approvals intact. Demonstrate a concrete editor-approved briefings and publishable drafts linked to their sources using the buyer's approved example and show the baseline, corrections and actual delivery effort.

Where to find buyers

PR and communications teams producing briefings and published content from many sources professional communities; specialist consultants serving this buyer; permissioned partner introductions; practical demonstrations at relevant trade or practitioner events.

Lead magnet

A reviewed sample editor-approved briefings and publishable drafts linked to their sources from a small authorized input set, with a transparent calculation of accepted briefings per editorial hour and corrections after publication and no promised savings.

The first 30 days

1. Week 1: interview five PR and communications teams producing briefings and published content from many sources and inspect a recent example of teams gather and summarize content across many tools, then rewrite it for briefings and publication, losing sources and review state along the way.
2. Week 2: prepare a consented or synthetic demonstration of the three task modules.
3. Week 3: seek one bounded paid pilot with agreed baseline and acceptance criteria.
4. Week 4: measure accepted briefings per editorial hour and corrections after publication, reviewer effort and repeat-purchase interest. This is a demand-validation plan, not a thirty-day full-product delivery promise.

Paid pilot

Agree quality and outcome thresholds before the pilot using this measure: Accepted briefings per editorial hour and corrections after publication. Continue only if the buyer accepts the actual output, the intended job outcome improves without unacceptable errors, and measured delivery cost fits willingness to pay. Revise or stop if access is unavailable, qualified review cannot be provided, or apparent savings disappear after corrections and support. Use held-out cases when comparing model quality; use a properly reviewed comparison design before making causal claims. Record missing cases and negative results alongside successful outputs.

Success metrics

Accepted briefings per editorial hour and corrections after publication; accepted-output rate; material error rate; reviewer correction time; actual repeat purchase.

Retention and expansion

Repeat the workflow when the buyer again needs editor-approved briefings and publishable drafts linked to their sources. Retain permissioned settings and reviewed examples, report realized value honestly, and sell increased volume or adjacent approved workflows only after contribution margin and quality remain acceptable.

Why clients would pick it

A reusable library of approved styles, source permissions and review examples, together with reliable delivery for a narrow communications niche. Build a permissioned library of representative task cases, reviewer corrections and verified operating constraints for PR and communications teams producing briefings and published content from many sources. Repeatable delivery and useful integrations matter more than access to a base model.

Alternatives and positioning

Tailor, Particle, Smashing, Shroomie, Arbor, Ohcryp: Crypto News at a Glance, Artifact, NBot, Nily AI and The Claw News. Compare this product with the buyer's present method on accepted briefings per editorial hour and corrections after publication. Offer a bounded paid workflow instead of claiming broad autonomous expertise. Market uniqueness and competitor coverage are not verified.

Main delivery costs

Aggregation and generation attempts, audio or data processing, storage, reviewer hours, client revision rounds and licensed source content. Additional initial validation requires representative authorized sample preparation, buyer interviews, buyer-side evaluation and bounded validation of editor-approved briefings and publishable drafts linked to their sources. Track cost per accepted output, including correction work, unsuccessful cases and support.

Preserve source attribution, quotation accuracy and usage permissions. Editors approve substantive changes and publication scope. One fixed source set and approved style guide; final editorial checks and publication decisions remain human. Keep all consequential actions under authorized human control and do not fabricate missing inputs, permissions, professional judgments or market evidence.
