The problem it solves

Writers forget to categorize new posts, or categorize them inconsistently, leaving your blog messy and harder for readers to browse. Going back through old posts to fix categories by hand is tedious busywork.

Who it fits

Blog editors or content teams running a WordPress site with multiple contributors.

How it works

  1. The workflow fetches your WordPress posts
  2. AI reads each post's title against your list of categories
  3. It picks the best-fitting category from that list
  4. The post is automatically updated with the chosen category
What you get

Posts filed under the right category

Every blog post gets automatically sorted into the category that best matches its title, no manual tagging needed.

What you get

A blog where every post is consistently and correctly categorized.

What you need

A WordPress site with the REST API enabled 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.
