Turn a brief into a first draft
The Article Draft Agent is for teams that already have a brief, outline or page objective. It creates a working draft with clear sections, logical flow and notes for human review.
It is best used after the topic has been approved. The more specific the brief, the more useful the draft will be.
What the agent needs
- Approved brief, outline or topic.
- Audience, tone and page objective.
- Required facts, links, examples and calls to action.
- Notes on what the draft should avoid.
- Any house style notes, preferred formatting or examples of approved copy.
What the output includes
The output should be a full first draft, not a final publication file. It can include suggested metadata, internal link notes and an editor checklist.
The draft should follow the supplied outline, answer the reader’s main questions and make clear where human evidence or examples are still needed.
What a good first draft should do
A useful first draft reduces the blank-page problem. It gives editors a structure to improve, sections to rewrite and notes to challenge.
It should not hide uncertainty. If the agent lacks a fact, source, quote, statistic or product detail, it should flag that gap instead of inventing it.
Editing checklist
- Check facts, names, dates and examples.
- Remove generic sections that do not help the reader.
- Add brand-specific proof, product details or expert judgement.
- Tighten the introduction, headings and calls to action.
- Review originality and tone before publication.
Review before publishing
Every draft should be edited for accuracy, voice, expertise and originality. The agent helps with production speed; humans still own the final page.
After editing, you can send the page to content optimisation if it needs an SEO pass.
