The problem it solves

Formatting long articles for your CMS by hand is slow and easy to get wrong, especially when rich text fields need specific structure. You end up spending more time on formatting than on the actual writing.

Who it fits

Content teams and marketers publishing articles through Contentful.

How it works

  1. Receives a finished article from your content workflow
  2. Splits the article into sections by heading
  3. AI converts each section into Contentful's rich text format
  4. Combines the sections back into one formatted entry
  5. Publishes the entry directly to Contentful
What you get

Articles that land in Contentful ready to go

Your markdown drafts turn into properly formatted Contentful entries and go live on your site automatically.

What you get

A fully formatted, published article entry in Contentful.

What you need

A Contentful account 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.
