Speed
From topic to draft proof in minutes
The editorial assistant finds topics and gaps; the pipeline delivers research, briefing and first draft. Your editors work from a sourced draft from the outset.
AI editorial system for publishers and magazines
Agentic AI for your publication’s content operations. Seven specialized AI agents handle research, drafting and fact-checking, adapt the text to your magazine’s voice, format it and optimize it for Google and AI search. Only what your editorial team has approved at three points gets published.

Minijob alongside your pension: what you can earn in 2026
Since 2023, there have been no additional earnings limits for old-age pensions. This also applies to early old-age pensions.
For the Minijob (German marginal employment) itself, a limit of €603 per month (as of January 2026) applies. It is tied to the minimum wage and rises with it.
Measured model costs for a researched guide up to publication: US$1.53.
What it does for your publishing house
Routine tasks are handled by the agents; editorial decisions remain with your editorial team.
Speed
The editorial assistant finds topics and gaps; the pipeline delivers research, briefing and first draft. Your editors work from a sourced draft from the outset.
Control
Human in the loop is built into the system at three points. Each approval is logged with name and timestamp (audit trail), so it can be proven who is responsible for what.
Costs
Every model call is recorded with agent, duration and cost. This makes it possible to demonstrate cost-effectiveness instead of estimating it.
Workflow
The workflow is illustrated with a production run, a guide about Minijobs alongside a pension. Seven agents with clearly defined tasks work in sequence, optionally joined by a Picture editor. At every handover, the result is checked and saved; at three points, a human decides.
You set the topic, key message and structural preferences. Whatever your editorial team sets as fact is adopted and not researched again. The editorial assistant already supports the topic meeting. It knows what your magazine has published so far and finds gaps and outdated articles.
The Researcher searches the web and your knowledge folder of your own material such as reader surveys or studies, always with page references. Documents marked confidential are left out. Every piece of information goes into the dossier with source and as-of date. This becomes the briefing with structure, target audience and dedicated safeguard rules for this article; in the example there are twelve. An excerpt from the dossier and briefing:
You approve the briefing or send it back with a note, such as “Shorter title, more focus on the widow’s pension”. The note is worked in. Without this approval, not a single word is written.
Step in yourself
You change individual points such as the headline or the order of sections directly by hand. On request, the AI suggests five alternative headlines.
The Writer writes the article from the briefing and dossier. It sticks to the structure and safeguard rules and uses only facts that are in the dossier.
The Fact-checker checks figures, as-of dates and statements against the dossier and rates the text. Anything not backed up goes back to the Writer with a reason. This quality loop runs before a human sees the text.
Tone of Voice adapts the text to your magazine’s language. It works from tone, style rules, banned terms and your best texts as models.
The Formatter sets subheadings, info boxes, teasers and bullet lists and brings the article into your CMS’s format.
On request, you can add the Picture editor. It picks images from your own image database or generates and edits images with AI. AI images are always labeled accordingly.
SEO / GEO optimizes the title, meta description and structure so the article is found in Google Search and in answers from AI assistants such as ChatGPT or Perplexity.
The Editor-in-chief checks the finished article against the briefing and safeguard rules. If the quality is insufficient, the text goes back for revision. Your editorial team only sees texts that have passed all checks.
You read the finished article and sign it off. The approved version is then frozen. Every later change becomes a new version.
Only now does the article go into your CMS. If someone has changed something there in the meantime, the system overwrites nothing and reports the conflict.
All steps at a glance
Guardrails
These rules are built into the software itself, right down to the database, and are not merely described in a handbook.
The three approvals cannot be skipped, not even via detours in the system.
Signed-off versions remain unchanged. You can see at any time which text was approved when and by whom.
If your editorial team has made edits in the CMS, the system detects the change, leaves it intact and asks how to proceed.
Every figure and every statement must be in the Researcher’s dossier. Anything not backed up fails at the Fact-checker.
The editor-in-chief maintains the brand profile, including style rules, banned terms and reference texts.
Images come from your own image database or are generated and edited with AI. AI images always carry a label.
Data protection
Your data protection department will ask about the GDPR and where texts are transferred. The following overview describes the current state and the points I am still working on.
Costs
For every call to a language model, the agent, duration and cost are recorded individually. These figures can be compared with the costs a researched guide incurs today.
| Agent | Duration | Cost | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Writer | 139.7 s | $0.19 | aborted |
Even an aborted attempt is in the log with its costs. Here, the text was longer than allowed. The cause was immediately visible and fixed the same evening. The language model provider bills in US dollars.
The complete workflow with web research. For a guide about checking accounts, model costs of US$1.53 up to publication were measured.
The press release is supplied as the source; the Researcher’s web search stays off. That largely eliminates the most expensive step.
Each magazine gets a fixed language model. It only changes when you deliberately switch it, so tone and quality don’t fluctuate unnoticed.
Outlook
All the features described are in use today, including the editorial assistant, knowledge folder and direct editing. Here is what I’m working on next. The editorial teams in the pilots help set the order.
The entire archive from your CMS is imported, including articles from before the system. New texts link to it.
The interface is prepared. WordPress is next, other systems as the pilots require.
Verified facts are reused until they expire, for example when the minimum wage changes. Follow-up articles are produced faster and at lower cost, without carrying over outdated figures.
Pilot
You start with a manageable pilot using one of your titles and current topics from your planning.
Your best texts and style rules become the brand profile for Tone of Voice, optionally together with your image database. Your editor-in-chief reviews and adds to it.
Sanity is connected today, WordPress is in preparation. Your existing workflows remain unchanged.
Your editorial team runs five of its own topics through the system and decides at every approval itself. Afterwards, the benefit for your editorial team can be assessed on a sound basis.
Frequently asked questions
No. The agents handle research, the first draft, fact-checking, formatting and search engine optimization. Your editorial team decides at three points what gets published. The focus of their work thus shifts from fixing to deciding.
A dedicated Fact-checker checks every statement against the Researcher’s dossier, with source and as-of date. Anything not backed up goes back to the Writer before a human sees the text. Hallucinations are thus caught within the pipeline.
The EU AI Act requires labeling for AI-generated texts on matters of public interest, unless a human has reviewed them editorially and holds responsibility for them. The system documents every approval with name and timestamp.
Assessing your specific case is a matter for your legal counsel.
According to Google, it evaluates the quality and usefulness of content, regardless of how it was produced. Verified facts, clear as-of dates and editorial review meet these requirements. In addition, the SEO / GEO agent makes sure titles and structure are readable for search engines and AI assistants.
Sanity is connected today, WordPress is in preparation. Other systems can be connected via a prepared interface.
No. Today the system works with Claude by Anthropic, but the language model can be swapped without rebuilding the pipeline. You are therefore not tied to a single provider (no vendor lock-in).
