What you get

What this changes in your workflow

Define audience, outcome, angle, keyword, evidence and acceptance criteria before writing, then use the brief to guide checklists and review.

  • Preserve intent

    The brief stays attached to the article instead of disappearing in a separate document or chat.

  • Plan manually first

    Every brief field can be completed without AI.

  • Use AI as a proposal

    A connected WordPress provider can suggest a bounded brief, but nothing is saved silently.

  • Turn intent into work

    Convert approved brief criteria into article checklist items.

  • Review against the plan

    Enhanced Readiness can use the saved brief to judge whether the article serves its intended audience and outcome.
