# Writing posts with AI

Posts are written in the full-screen **editor**, opened from **Posts**. Markdown is the source of truth — blocks, formatting and media round-trip cleanly, so nothing is trapped in a proprietary format.

Every AI action that generates content spends credits. Manual editing is free, and so is asking Joe about a post.

## Ways to generate a draft

**Full pipeline** — research → draft → SEO → internal links in one pass. The default for a post you want ready to review. Costs more than the individual steps because it *is* the individual steps.

**Draft from a topic** — you give the topic, the AI streams a first draft against your blog's niche, audience and voice. No live research, so it's cheaper and faster, and better suited to subjects where you supply the substance.

**Research first, then draft** — a live web research pass gathers real sources, statistics and competitor gaps, then the draft is written against those findings. Use it for anything where being wrong is expensive.

**Inline AI** — with a post open, use the slash menu (`/`) or select a passage and choose an AI edit. Drafts or rewrites *at your cursor* rather than regenerating the article. The cheapest AI action there is, and the one you'll use most.

## Making a draft actually good

**Improve** targets the article's own weakest scoring signals rather than rewriting indiscriminately — it reads the score breakdown and fixes what's dragging it down.

**Humanise** strips the patterns that make AI writing recognisable: uniform sentence rhythm, hedging, tidy tricolons, the summary paragraph that repeats the intro. It then re-applies your brand voice.

**Redraft from feedback** takes your written notes — "too long, and it never says who this is for" — and repositions the article accordingly. This is a strategic rewrite, not a polish.

**Track changes** shows AI edits as a word-level diff you can review and undo, so an AI pass is never a black box you have to accept whole.

## The scores

The editor shows a live **content score** — a composite of how human the writing reads, the AEO score, SEO signals and readability.

The **human-ness score** is a 0–100 rating with the specific passages that triggered it flagged. Each flag has a one-click fix, which does a surgical find-and-replace rather than a full rewrite. It is a heuristic, not a guarantee about any particular third-party detector, and it should be read as "this reads like a machine wrote it" — which is a writing problem regardless of who's checking.

The **AEO audit** is computed from the document, not asked of the model. See *SEO and answer-engine optimisation*.

## Working with a published post

Editing a live post gives you a choice: edit in place, or fork a **V2 draft** and work on that while the current version stays live. Use the fork when the change is substantial enough that a half-finished edit would embarrass you in public.

**Refresh** rewrites an ageing article while keeping its URL, which preserves whatever ranking and backlinks it has earned. It's the right tool for a post that used to perform and no longer does — *Content intelligence* will tell you which ones those are.

## Getting better output

- **Fill in the niche and audience properly.** They are used on every generation.
- **Set a brand voice.** It's free and it changes every draft. See *Brand voice*.
- **Add your competitors.** Research uses them to find the angle nobody has taken.
- **Add reusable elements.** Your standard CTA, disclaimer or product callout can be injected automatically instead of pasted every time. See *Reusable elements*.
- **Edit the parts only you know.** The AI can research and structure. It cannot supply your customer's actual objection, last quarter's real number, or the thing you learned the hard way — and those are what make a post worth reading.
