AuthorFox or an autoblogging plugin?

Autoblogging plugins turn lists of topics into posts. AuthorFox plans the topics, keeps the evidence with each claim and publishes only what you approve.

What autoblogging plugins do well

AI Puffer and BotWriter write and publish from inside WordPress on a schedule: AI Puffer automations draft, schedule or publish posts on a recurring basis, and BotWriter tasks write and publish on set days and times. SEO WRITING sends articles from its web app.

All three can save posts as drafts for you to review first. SEO WRITING lets external sources sit next to the claims they support, and BotWriter and AI Puffer run on your own AI keys.

Where AuthorFox is different

AuthorFox plans article ideas for your site, each with the reason it is worth writing, and writes to your Content DNA: who you write for, how you sound and what it may claim.

Every article waits for your approval unless you switch on auto-review for the site, and what you approve is exactly what goes live. The evidence stays with each claim, and you see it when you review.

A small plugin, the Bridge, publishes the posts you approved, then AuthorFox reads each one back and compares it with what you approved. It publishes to Shopify blogs too.
