Turn a Brief into a Publish-Ready Draft

Describe a rough idea in Slack. Zero interviews you, drafts the post in your CMS, and returns a preview URL so the review loop starts with something real.

What the problem is

Every content piece starts with a loose idea: 'we should write something about how we think about voice-driven workflows.' Between that idea and a publish-ready draft sits three hours of staring at a blank page, restarting twice, and wondering if the structure's right. Brief-to-Draft compresses it. Talk to Zero for five minutes while you're already in Slack, Zero pulls out the key arguments, drafts the full post in your CMS with the right structure, and sends you a preview URL. You review a real thing, not a blinking cursor.

How Zero fixes it

Step 1: Connect your tools

Slack

Required

Slack. Zero runs the interview and delivers the preview URL in a thread. Read + write access in the channel you're working in.

Connect

Strapi

Required

CMS (Strapi or similar). Zero creates the draft, applies the right template, and returns a preview URL. API write access to draft content is required.

Connect

Notion

Optional

Notion. Optional. Zero can also keep a working doc for longer-form drafts or collaboration before pushing to the CMS.

Connect

Step 2: Ask Zero

@Zero I want to write a blog post about voice-driven dev workflows. Interview me for the key arguments by asking me 5 sharp questions, then draft the full post in our CMS as a draft and send me the preview URL.

Zero interviews you to pull the piece out of your head

Instead of asking you to outline, Zero asks 5 sharp questions. Your answers become the backbone: the audience, the claim, the story, the counter-argument, the CTA. Five minutes in Slack, not two hours in a doc.

Zero drafts the post in your CMS

Zero writes the full post as a draft in your CMS: headline, intro, main sections, examples, CTA. The structure follows your content template; the voice matches your style guide.

Zero returns a preview URL for review

When the draft is ready, Zero sends you the preview URL. You review a real page with real formatting, not a Google Doc. Edits go in the CMS; Zero doesn't need to touch it again unless you ask.

Step 3: Take it further

Iterate

Have Zero rewrite a specific section without starting over.

@Zero rewrite the intro to start with a customer story instead of a statistic, keep everything else.

Translate to other locales

Get naturalistic translations into your supported languages.

@Zero translate this draft into German, Japanese, and Spanish (naturalistic, not literal) and save each as a draft in the CMS.

Schedule the publish

Chain the draft into an auto-publish when approved.

@Zero once I approve this draft, schedule it to publish Thursday at 10am and cross-post the link to #announcements.

Tips for better results

●Answer the 5 questions fast, a minute each. You don't need polished prose; Zero will restructure. The goal is to get your thinking out, not to write the post yourself.

●Review in the preview URL, not the CMS admin. Formatting issues and pacing problems only show up when the page renders.

●Keep a style-guide-style 'how we write' doc in Notion. Zero can reference it and you get consistent voice without rewriting every draft.
