The problem it solves

Readers skim your blog and bounce if they can't tell what a post is about in five seconds. Writing a summary for every post is one more task on an already long list. Doing it manually for old posts feels like it will never get done.

Who it fits

Bloggers, content teams, and small publishers who want their posts to feel more scannable without extra writing time.

How it works

  1. The workflow runs on a schedule or when a new post is published
  2. Post content is pulled from WordPress and converted to plain text
  3. AI writes a short summary of the post
  4. The summary is placed at the top of the post, keeping the original text intact
  5. The update is logged and the team is notified
What you get

Posts opening with a scannable summary

Every WordPress post gets a short summary added to the top automatically, making your content easier to scan.

What you get

An updated WordPress post with a short AI-written summary at the top, plus a log entry.

What you need

A WordPress account, a Google Sheets account for logging, and an OpenAI API key.

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.
