Draft news articles with AI and publish them after your approval

AI drafts articles from breaking news, and once you approve them, they post to your website and LinkedIn.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Exactly one path is taken; a person has to approve before it continues.

The problem it solves

Keeping your blog and LinkedIn page updated with timely news content takes real writing time you may not have. Finding relevant stories, drafting something readable, and posting it everywhere adds up fast. You want fresh content out the door without spending your whole day writing it.

Who it fits

Content teams and marketers who publish news-driven articles on a website and LinkedIn.

How it works

  1. The system pulls in fresh articles from your chosen news sources
  2. AI drafts a full article from the story content
  3. You get an email to approve or reject the draft
  4. Once approved, the article is published to your WordPress site
  5. The same article is then shared automatically to your LinkedIn page
What you get

Articles ready for a quick approval click

You get a full article drafted from breaking news, ready for you to approve by email before it publishes to your website and LinkedIn page.

What you get

A published WordPress article and matching LinkedIn post, plus a tracking record in Google Sheets.

What you need

A news data subscription, an Anthropic API key, a WordPress site, a Google Workspace account, and a LinkedIn account.

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.
