The problem it solves

Coming up with fresh content ideas and writing a full article around them eats up hours you don't have. Finding the right facts, structuring a readable story, and figuring out what image would fit it all adds even more time before anything is ready to publish.

Who it fits

A blogger, small publisher, or content team that needs a steady stream of news-style articles.

How it works

  1. The system scans the internet for topics that are currently trending
  2. One AI step gathers raw facts and background details on the topic
  3. A second AI step turns those details into a short briefing with a title, key facts, and category
  4. A writing AI step expands the briefing into a full, structured article
  5. A final AI step suggests two image keywords to help you find the right photo, and the article is sent to your blog
What you get

Articles written and ready to publish

You get a fully written, researched article on a trending topic, complete with suggested photos, ready to publish.

What you get

A complete, ready-to-publish article with a suggested category and photo keywords.

What you need

A self-hosted AI setup like Ollama, a web research tool, and a place to publish the article, such as a blog.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
