AI does the heavy lifting, people stay in charge
Use AI to interpret permitted inputs, suggest structured mappings and generate candidate outputs for the 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 style guide and licensed source set; final fact-checking and editorial judgment 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 brief, Editable writing canvas, Editorial review and delivery. Use a thumbnail gallery for projects, a large central editing canvas, and a right-hand panel for sources, prompts, 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 passage. Make the task-specific outcome editor-approved publishable drafts linked to their sources visible beside its evidence, review state and value baseline.
Accounts and administration
Project ownership, source 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
Author-owned manuscripts, authorized interviews and permitted research sources. Cloud document storage, style-guide 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.
How we build it
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.

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.
- Pick the riskiest assumption. Here: will writers, editors and content teams producing source-based articles, briefs and scripts use it to solve "writing, editing, research and delivery live in separate tools, so drafts, prompts, revisions and approvals are scattered and hard to trace"?
- Build only what tests it. One team, one use case, a few core modules. People do the rest by hand for now.
- Run a paid pilot. Agree quality and outcome thresholds before the pilot using this measure: Accepted drafts per editorial hour and corrections after editorial approval.
- Measure, then decide. Track accepted drafts per editorial hour and corrections after editorial approval; 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 style guide and licensed source set; final fact-checking and editorial judgment remain human. Implement one approved input format, a bounded representative case set and the first two task modules: ingest and index licensed source material; suggest context-aware completions in the writer's style. Support the remaining modules with operator review: generate draft content, answer questions, summarize, rewrite and track revisions. 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 publishable drafts linked to their sources. Retain the explicit scope boundary: One fixed style guide and licensed source set; final fact-checking and editorial judgment 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 editorial work requires specialist review. Obtain representative authorized cases, baseline measurements, qualified reviewers and a buyer-side decision owner. Specific limitation: One fixed style guide and licensed source set; final fact-checking and editorial judgment remain human.

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 editorial package. Offer a monthly production allowance after repeat demand. Quote complex multi-source or specialist editorial work separately. These are test prices, not market benchmarks. Package the initial sale as one bounded editor-approved publishable draft linked to its 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 tool switching and revision cycles while keeping the writer's voice and source traceability. Demonstrate a concrete editor-approved publishable draft linked to its sources using the buyer's approved example and show the baseline, corrections and actual delivery effort.
Where to find buyers
Writers, editors and content teams 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 publishable draft linked to its sources from a small authorized input set, with a transparent calculation of accepted drafts per editorial hour and corrections after editorial approval and no promised savings.
The first 30 days
- Week 1: interview five writers, editors and content teams producing source-based articles, briefs and scripts and inspect a recent example of drafts, prompts, revisions and approvals scattered across separate tools.
- Week 2: prepare a consented or synthetic demonstration of the task modules.
- Week 3: seek one bounded paid pilot with agreed baseline and acceptance criteria.
- Week 4: measure accepted drafts per editorial hour and corrections after editorial approval, 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 drafts per editorial hour and corrections after editorial approval. 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 drafts per editorial hour and corrections after editorial approval; 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 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 constraints and review examples, together with reliable delivery for a narrow editorial niche. Build a permissioned library of representative task cases, reviewer corrections and verified operating constraints for writers, editors and content teams producing source-based articles, briefs and scripts. Repeatable delivery and useful integrations matter more than access to a base model.
Alternatives and positioning
HyperWrite, Prose Fusion and Lex are the tools buyers use today, alongside generic writing assistants and manual editing. Compare this product with the buyer's present method on accepted drafts per editorial hour and corrections after editorial approval. Offer a bounded paid workflow instead of claiming broad autonomous expertise. Market uniqueness and competitor coverage are not verified.
Main delivery costs
Generation attempts, storage, reviewer hours, client revision rounds and licensed source material. Additional initial validation requires representative authorized sample preparation, buyer interviews, buyer-side evaluation and bounded validation of editor-approved publishable drafts linked to their sources. Track cost per accepted output, including correction work, unsuccessful cases and support.
Safeguards
Preserve author voice, source attribution, quotation accuracy and usage permissions. Authors approve substantive changes and publication scope. One fixed style guide and licensed source set; final fact-checking and editorial judgment remain human. Keep all consequential actions under authorized human control and do not fabricate missing inputs, permissions, professional judgments or market evidence.
