Once your writing profile is tuned, you're ready to create a draft through the full pipeline.
Start on your dashboard and create an idea card. This is the input for a piece of content. An idea card includes:
- A title — the working title for the piece
- Angle notes — your specific take, the argument you want to make, or the particular framing you have in mind
- Optional reference URLs or files — sources you want the research pass to draw from or be aware of
The more specific your angle notes, the more accurately the draft will reflect what you actually wanted to write. A vague angle produces a draft that is technically on-topic but misses the point you had in mind.
Once the idea card is submitted, the pipeline runs in stages:
- Research — the system gathers and organises relevant material based on your topic and references
- Outline — a structured outline is generated and presented to you for review and approval
- Full draft — after you approve the outline, the full draft is generated against your writing profile
The outline review is where you stay in control. You can adjust the outline before the draft runs — reorder sections, cut angles you don't want, add direction. The full draft is then generated from the approved outline. You don't review again until the draft is complete.
Your first draft may not be perfect even with a well-tuned profile. That's expected. After reading it, if specific elements are consistently off, return to the sandbox and adjust those areas of your profile before running another draft.
