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. Connected-source access, permission rules and reviewer capacity bound the pilot; final content and permission decisions remain human. A model suggestion is never a verified fact, professional decision or authorization to act.
What your team sees
Primary screens: Source connections and extraction, Context file editor, Content and pattern workspace, Permission and sync console. Use a source list with extraction status, a central editor for context files and generated content, and a right-hand panel for permissions, versions 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 file or field. Make the task-specific outcome user-owned context files and reviewed content linked to their sources visible beside its evidence, review state and value baseline.
Accounts and administration
Project ownership, source connections, context file versions, permission grants, sync schedules, client comments, approval states, usage allowances, export 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
LinkedIn, Notion, Gmail, Slack and GitHub, plus MCP-capable agents such as Claude and Cursor. Cloud storage, design-file 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 product, engineering and marketing teams that maintain AI context across several tools use it to solve "context and content are rebuilt in each tool, so output drifts from current source material and permissions are unclear"?
- 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 outputs per authoring hour and context corrections after publication.
- Measure, then decide. Track accepted outputs per authoring hour and context 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 connected source set, one context file format and one content type; final content and permission decisions remain human. Implement one approved input format, a bounded representative case set and the first two task modules: connect sources such as LinkedIn, Notion, Gmail, Slack and GitHub; extract context from connected sources within a bounded time. Support the remaining modules with operator review: generate persona, voice and company context files; keep context files human-readable and user-editable; generate coherent content from approved context; generate patterns from user inputs and style preferences; summarize and visualize connected data; apply customizable templates to repetitive tasks; show design and content changes in real time; support multiple users on one project; work across desktop and mobile devices; integrate with third-party tools and services; share specific files or fields through granular permissions; serve context to MCP-capable agents and export for meeting prep or bios; sync on source-change detection with refresh schedules and versioning; return only relevant segments to reduce token use; purge data, delete accounts and store encrypted. 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 sources and case volume only after new evaluation cases pass. Build reusable customer configurations and recurring value reports around user-owned context files and reviewed content linked to their sources. Retain the explicit scope boundary: One connected source set, one context file format and one content type; final content and permission decisions remain human.
What the build depends on. Source connection and extraction, context file storage, asynchronous generation jobs, editable version history, reviewer access and tested export formats. High-fidelity operations require specialist review. Obtain representative authorized cases, baseline measurements, qualified reviewers and a buyer-side decision owner. Specific limitation: One connected source set, one context file format and one content type; final content and permission decisions remain human.

Pricing to test
Test a USD 300-1,500 fixed pilot for one defined source set. Offer a monthly production allowance after repeat demand. Quote complex integrations or specialist content separately. These are test prices, not market benchmarks. Package the initial sale as one bounded user-owned context files and reviewed content 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 repeated context rebuilding while keeping source-linked control. Demonstrate concrete user-owned context files and reviewed content linked to their sources using the buyer's approved example and show the baseline, corrections and actual delivery effort.
Where to find buyers
Product, engineering and marketing teams that maintain AI context across several tools professional communities; specialist consultants serving this buyer; permissioned partner introductions; practical demonstrations at relevant trade or practitioner events.
Lead magnet
A reviewed sample user-owned context files and reviewed content linked to their sources from a small authorized input set, with a transparent calculation of accepted outputs per authoring hour and context corrections after publication and no promised savings.
The first 30 days
- Week 1: interview five product, engineering and marketing teams that maintain AI context across several tools and inspect a recent example of context and content rebuilt in each tool, so output drifts from current source material and permissions are unclear.
- Week 2: prepare a consented or synthetic demonstration of the three task modules.
- Week 3: seek one bounded paid pilot with agreed baseline and acceptance criteria.
- Week 4: measure accepted outputs per authoring hour and context 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 outputs per authoring hour and context 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 outputs per authoring hour and context 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 user-owned context files and reviewed content 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 context files, permission patterns and review examples, together with reliable delivery for a narrow operations niche. Build a permissioned library of representative task cases, reviewer corrections and verified operating constraints for product, engineering and marketing teams that maintain AI context across several tools. Repeatable delivery and useful integrations matter more than access to a base model.
Alternatives and positioning
Crosshatch, Gandalf and Unabyss, plus generic generation tools and manual context files. Compare this product with the buyer's present method on accepted outputs per authoring hour and context 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
Extraction jobs, model calls, storage, reviewer hours, client revision rounds and licensed source access. Additional initial validation requires representative authorized sample preparation, buyer interviews, buyer-side evaluation and bounded validation of user-owned context files and reviewed content linked to their sources. Track cost per accepted output, including correction work, unsuccessful cases and support.
Safeguards
Preserve source attribution, permission boundaries and usage rights. Named owners approve substantive changes and sharing scope. One connected source set, one context file format and one content type; final content and permission decisions remain human. Keep all consequential actions under authorized human control and do not fabricate missing inputs, permissions, professional judgments or market evidence.
