Turn RSS articles into blog drafts for your team to approve

Pulls new articles from an RSS feed, drafts a blog post with AI, and sends it for approval before posting to Google Docs.

How the work actually flows

A straight line. A person has to approve before it continues.

The problem it solves

Turning news into fresh blog content takes real writing time, and you can't keep up with every feed you follow. Without a review step, AI drafts can also go out without a human check, which is risky for your brand voice.

Who it fits

Content teams, bloggers, and marketing agencies who publish frequently and want an editorial checkpoint.

How it works

  1. Checks your RSS feed on a schedule for new articles
  2. AI drafts a full blog post from each new article
  3. Sends the draft to your team for approval
  4. Approved drafts are published as a Google Doc
  5. Your team gets a Slack notification with the finished article
What you get

Drafts ready for your editor to approve

New articles are turned into a full blog post draft and sent straight to your team for approval.

What you get

An AI-written blog draft, an approval step, and a finished article saved in Google Docs.

What you need

An OpenAI account, a Google account, and a Slack workspace.

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.
