Does any of this sound familiar?
Started often. Kept going rarely.
Two of these is usually enough to see where it stops.
- There is a profile where nothing has happened for months.
- Good stories happen during the work and disappear again, because nobody writes them down.
- When something needs publishing, somebody starts from an empty box.
- The approval route is unclear, so to be safe nobody publishes.
- The same thing gets rewritten three times for three channels.
- Nobody knows what was already said six months ago.
Honestly
The problem is rarely the writing.
The problem is the capturing. Build a system that generates text but does not record what actually happened during the work and you get a great deal of content with nothing in it. It shows in the writing, and it shows to the reader.
It becomes useful when the capturing happens where the work happens, and the preparing comes after. In that order.
What we build
Capture, prepare, review, publish, record.
Capture
One place a note from the working day lands before it is forgotten. Two sentences is enough; completeness is somebody else's job later.
Prepare
What was captured becomes a draft, not a finished post. A draft that already knows what happened is a different thing entirely from an empty box.
Review
A person decides whether this goes out. Who that is, and how you can tell something was released, is settled before anything is automated.
Record
What was published stays findable, with its reason and its date. Otherwise the same story gets told again in eighteen months, slightly differently.
Content and social operations:
- Idea
- Prepare
- Approve
- Publish
Where people stay involved
The machine prepares. How the business sounds is your decision.
A model can write a draft. It cannot know which customer is annoyed this week, which phrasing lands badly locally, or which subject is the wrong one right now. So every flow ends at an approval here, and at one somebody actually reads.
