It repeats. Repeats you request revisions; a person has to approve before it continues.

The problem it solves

Writing SEO-friendly blog posts takes time you may not have, but you still want to review and approve anything published under your name. Coordinating a topic list, a draft, and revisions by hand adds friction to every post.

Who it fits

Small marketing teams or solo business owners who want AI-drafted blog content with a human final check.

How it works

  1. A topic and reference link are submitted through a form
  2. The topic is logged and tracked in a spreadsheet
  3. AI drafts a full SEO-optimized blog post with a title
  4. The draft is sent to you by email for approval or revision
  5. The approved post is saved as a finished Google Doc
What you get

Blog drafts ready for your final read-through

You get a full, SEO-optimized blog post drafted from a single topic, ready for your review and approval by email.

What you get

A finished, SEO-optimized blog post in Google Docs, approved by you before it's done.

What you need

A Google Workspace account, an OpenAI API key, and a Gmail 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.
