Give your startup blog a job.

An example brief and edit, with a review and publishing checklist for an AI-managed blog.

Start with a question you can answer

I would start a startup blog with a question someone has already asked about the product. A support request, a repeated sales objection, or a setup problem gives the draft a job. A broad topic such as the future of your industry leaves the writer to invent one.

Lazyblog brings drafting, review, and publishing into one workflow. You still need to provide the product facts, resolve unsupported claims, and choose where the finished piece goes. A generated draft is an input to that work.

A brief the writer can use

Here is a fictional example for a form-building startup. It illustrates the workflow; it is not a customer result or a promise that Lazyblog has tested this integration.

Reader: a developer sending form submissions to a customer database. Question: how do I prevent a retry from creating a duplicate? Source material: the product's documented operation identifier, a working request, a repeated request, and the resulting destination record. Deliverable: a setup guide with prerequisites, expected output, and a failure case.

That brief also tells the writer what it cannot claim. If the supplied evidence covers only one destination, the draft cannot promise that every customer database behaves the same way. If nobody inspected the second request's result, the duplicate-prevention claim is still unverified.

Review the claim, then the sentence

Suppose the first draft says, ‘Our integration eliminates duplicate records across your entire stack.’ I would cut that claim before polishing the wording. The evidence in this example covers one repeated request to one destination.

A supportable version would describe the tested setup and its limit: ‘In this example, both requests use the same operation identifier. The second request returns the existing record rather than creating another one.’ Publish that sentence only after the test establishes it.

The same check applies to customer quotes, performance numbers, screenshots, and pricing. Keep the evidence next to the claim while reviewing. If the source is missing, narrow the statement or remove it.

Use the review step to make decisions

Give feedback on the passage that needs work: which claim is wrong, what the reader needs next, and which wording is yours to preserve. Review proposed edits before accepting them. A request to discuss a paragraph should not silently become approval to replace it.

In Lazyblog, keep the saved draft as the source you are reviewing. A review note for the fictional example could say: replace only the duplicate-prevention claim with the verified two-request behavior; keep the introduction and code sample unchanged. Inspect that proposed replacement before accepting it, then reopen the draft to check the saved text. A second pasted document would make that comparison harder.

Then read the piece aloud. Cut the sentences that could fit any company. Keep the awkward but useful detail: the required field, the unavailable feature, or the step where the reader has to check their own account.

Check the destination after publishing

Choose the connected destination and inspect the final title, body, links, and cover before sending. Available destinations depend on the workspace's connections and permissions; a connection badge is not proof that a post arrived.

After publication, open the resulting public URL. Confirm that the approved text, images, and links survived delivery. For this example, a reader should be able to find the duplicate-prevention instructions without opening your private workspace.

Record the question the page was meant to answer. Later, inspect relevant reads and whether the same question still goes unanswered. If outcome tracking is missing, keep that limitation beside the result rather than turning page views into revenue.
