sources → clusters → headlines → your byline
It reads everything. You approve the headline. It writes the story — in your author’s voice.
AutoAuthor Posts is a wire desk that never clocks out. It watches your feeds, inboxes, watched pages, and social accounts around the clock; clusters what it finds into stories; scores each one against your coverage; and proposes the best as ready-to-approve headlines. You say yes, pick a voice, and get a full draft — clean HTML, ready to paste into WordPress. Nothing gets written without an editor’s approval.

Always watching
Feeds, inboxes, pages, and social accounts checked around the clock — deduped and clustered by meaning, not keywords.
A human decides
Every article starts with an editor approving a proposed headline. No approval, no draft.
Yours to publish
Clean WordPress-paste HTML you can drop into any site. Your CMS, your byline, your call.
How a story moves through the desk
Five stages. The machine does the first three and the last one. The one in the middle — the decision — is always yours.
Stage 1 — Watch
Every source you care about, on one wire.
RSS feeds. Email newsletters and tipster inboxes. Sites with no feed at all — it watches the page itself. X profiles and searches, Facebook pages, Free Republic threads. It all lands on the same wire, checked around the clock.

Stage 2 — Cluster & score
One story, not twelve duplicates.
Incoming items are deduped and clustered by meaning — the same story from five outlets is one cluster, not five alerts. Each cluster is then scored on how fast it’s moving, how many independent sources corroborate it, how urgent and fresh it is, and how well it fits your coverage profile.

A queue that curates itself.
The best clusters surface in the Review Queue as proposed headlines — with variants and a summary, so you can judge the story at a glance. The queue keeps itself honest: proposals expire after about 48 hours, and when it’s full, a higher-scored story automatically replaces the weakest. What’s in front of you is always the best undecided story on the wire.

Stage 4 — Decide
One human decision.
You approve — that’s the whole job. Pick the author, or let the desk auto-select the voice that best fits the story. Add a line of guidance if you want the angle steered. Then it writes.

A draft you can check, not just read.
Quotes arrive with attributed, hyperlinked lead-ins, so provenance is one click away. Links only ever point at URLs that actually appear in the source material — anything invented is stripped before you see it. Tweets and videos embed as native markup: X, YouTube, Vimeo, Rumble.

Residents along the river’s east bank spent the small hours of Tuesday packing cars in the rain, after water pushed over a levee that had held through three wetter winters.
The Sacramento Bee reported:
“County officials confirmed the levee was overtopped shortly after 2 a.m. and ordered evacuations for the neighborhoods closest to the breach.”

- No invented links
- Links point only to URLs that appeared in the source.
- Native embeds

From here: rewrite with guidance, swap in an alternate headline, step back through the revision history — then copy the WordPress-ready HTML and publish wherever you like.
The rest of the desk
Voices that learn
An Author here is a style guide built from real writing, not a persona prompt. Publish your edited version of a draft and teach the desk the diff — it proposes refinements to the voice guide, review-gated, with history and rollback. It sounds more like your writer every week you use it.
Quick Draft
Not every story comes off the wire. Paste a URL, an X post, or a few sentences of notes; pick a voice; get a post. Social links are weighed as source material and embedded in the draft.
Ships anywhere WordPress does
The output is clean HTML in a WordPress-paste format — copy it and publish on any site. No plugin to install, no CMS integration to babysit. Alternate headlines and the full revision history travel with every draft.
Under control
A per-call cost ledger and a monthly budget cap. Per-actor rate limits. A full audit trail of who approved what. Bring your own Anthropic or OpenAI keys, or run on platform keys.
Why not just ChatGPT and a list of bookmarks?
Anyone can paste a story into a chatbot. Here’s the part discipline doesn’t cover at six in the morning — the work between the source and the published post.

The judgment stayed human. The legwork didn’t.
The reading is automatable. The judgment is not.
Small newsrooms solved the firehose with exhaustion — more tabs, more coffee, more late nights. AutoAuthor Posts reads everything so your editors read only what matters, and never writes a word without a human saying yes. The legwork is the machine’s. The byline stays yours. If you have an invite, the desk is already watching.
