FAQ

Most AI writing tools — including ChatGPT — start from nothing every time. You paste in some writing, describe your style, and hope the output comes back close. It might, once. The next session you start over. There's no memory, no foundation, no mechanism for getting closer over time.

Riterly is different by design. Your writing profile is permanent and structured — built from your actual writing, not your description of it. Every draft is shaped by that profile, and it gets more accurate the more you use it. That's not something you can replicate with a chat window.

A writing profile is a structured representation of how you actually write — your voice and tone, your audience, your language patterns, how you structure content, and the topics you cover. It's built from your actual writing samples through the Voice Workshop, not from your answers to questions about yourself.

Every piece of content Riterly generates is shaped by your profile. The more you use it and refine it, the more accurate it gets — and the closer the output gets to something you'd be proud to publish.

That depends on your writing profile — and that's an honest answer, not a hedge. A thin profile produces generic output. A rich profile, built from real writing samples and refined through the sandbox, produces content that's genuinely recognizable as yours.

The sandbox exists specifically to close that gap before you create real content. You run test drafts, read them back, adjust the profile where something feels off, and repeat until the answer to "does this sound like me?" is yes. Most users get there faster than they expect. The profile didn't just capture the founder's voice — it helped him discover it.

Yes. Each profile is independent — its own niche, its own Voice Workshop output, its own language patterns and structural preferences. A developer who also writes a personal newsletter, a consultant who produces both technical documentation and opinion pieces — each voice gets its own profile.

When you're working in the pipeline, you select which profile to work from. The Voice Workshop is available for every new profile you create, not just the first one.

The Voice Workshop is how Riterly builds your writing profile. Instead of asking you to describe your voice, it analyzes samples of your actual writing and builds your profile from what it finds.

You upload between one and ten writing samples — files or URLs to published work — and Riterly analyzes how you actually write. You then review the profile it produces, make any adjustments, and you're ready to generate content. The Voice Workshop is also used every time you create a new profile — not just during initial setup.

The sandbox is a dedicated space for testing and tuning your writing profile before you use it on real content. Sandbox runs don't count against any draft limits, don't appear on your content board, and can't be published. The only job is making sure the profile actually sounds like you.

Think of it as a calibration step. Generate something, read it back, and ask: does this sound like me? Adjust the profile until the answer is yes. The sandbox and the pipeline are kept separate on purpose — you don't want to be second-guessing your profile while you're trying to publish.

The generation pipeline has three steps — digest, outline, and draft. The digest processes your references and notes. The outline gives you a structure to review and approve before the draft is generated. The draft itself typically generates in under a minute once approved.

Total time from idea to draft depends on how much reference material you include and how much you edit the outline before approving it. In practice, most users go from idea to a draft ready to edit in under five minutes. How much editing the draft needs depends on how mature your writing profile is.

Riterly is currently in private beta — invite only. Beta testers receive a promotional credit toward their first year when pricing launches.

Pricing is being finalized based on real usage data from the beta period. What we can tell you now: there will be a monthly plan and a discounted annual option. We'd rather be fair than fast — pricing will reflect what the product actually costs to run, not what the market might bear.

If you want to hear about pricing before anyone else, request early access.
