Features

Every source, turned into a first draft

Trends, keywords, press releases, and videos — Autobyline drafts the story and the visuals so your newsroom can focus on what only humans do well: judgment.

AI Journalists

Hire a beat reporter that never sleeps

Give each AI journalist a beat — keywords or live trends, across ten categories — a persona, one of six tones, and a schedule. It drafts articles around the clock, steers clear of topics it has already covered, and pauses itself when your credits run out. Review every draft first, or let it auto-publish to a connected site.

Real-time Trends

Catch the story while it's still hot

Google Trends searches plus the latest headlines from major publishers' U.S. news feeds, refreshed every 10 minutes. Topics that surface in both get a Hot badge. United States at launch — United Kingdom, Germany, France, Japan and more on the roadmap.

WordPress-Native

One-click publish to your sites

Connect your WordPress site once via Application Password. Categories and tags are auto-resolved — your article appears in the right place, with the right metadata, ready for SEO. Not on WordPress? Publish to any system via Webhook, with optional HMAC signing. Every successful send is logged on the article.

Six writing personas

Not just one AI voice — six

Professional Journalist, PR Professional, Deep-Dive Analyst, SEO Content Strategist, Tech Futurist, and Thought Leader. Each follows AP Stylebook standards with role-specific style rules. Pair with three length presets and your choice of markdown or plain text.

Files to article

From your files to a news story

Upload a press release, statement, report, or meeting notes as text, Word (DOCX), PDF, or images — up to five files — and get a news story in the persona, tone, and length you choose. The draft lands in your library for review. 20 credits per conversion.

YouTube to article

Turn a video into a written story

Paste a YouTube link. Gemini watches the video itself — including on-screen numbers and captions — and writes the article, with the video's thumbnail as the lead image. 50 credits per video.

Visuals

Images and charts

AI images in a range of styles — Realistic, Digital art, Cinematic, 3D render, and more — attached to AI journalists' articles automatically if you like. Build bar, line, pie, doughnut, or radar charts from your own numbers, free.

Built for scale

Built on Cloudflare's edge

Workers + R2 + KV. The dashboard, API, and images run on Cloudflare's global network — no servers for you to provision, no scaling drama. Just publish.

Newsroom desk

Write, edit, and approve — together

AI drafts are only the start. Bring your reporters and editors in: write your own stories, send them to the desk, and let editors decide what gets published. Writing and desk tools are included in every plan and don't use credits.

Write

A real editor for your own stories

Headline, sub-headline, summary, and a rich-text body with headings, quotes, lists, links, and images. Crop new uploads and add a text watermark before inserting them, reuse images from a shared media library, and give each story you write its own byline and section. Saved edits are kept in a revision history, and unsaved changes survive a closed tab.

Desk review

Reporters write, editors decide

Five editorial ranks — Trainee, Reporter, Desk Editor, Editor-in-Chief, and Publisher — with permissions that grow with rank. Unless they're workspace admins, trainees and reporters can't publish on their own: they submit to the desk, where editors see a badge for what's waiting and approve or send stories back. Once a story is approved, an editor sends it to WordPress or your webhook in one click.

Pre-publish checks

A checklist in the editor

As you write in the Write article editor, Autobyline checks headline length, a missing summary, a short body, images without alt text, and leftover placeholder text. Once the story is saved, you can also check how closely it overlaps with the 100 most recent stories published through your desk. Suggestions only — your editors make the call.

Team

Your whole staff, one workspace

Invite colleagues by email, give admins control of connections and staff, and hand over ownership when you need to. Get Slack alerts when AI journalists file new drafts — one at a time, or as a daily digest.

How it works

From idea to published, in three steps

01

Connect your site

Link WordPress with an Application Password, or point a webhook at any other system. Trends cover the United States at launch.

02

Draft with AI — or write it yourself

Give AI journalists beats, tones, and schedules, turn press releases and YouTube videos into drafts, or open a blank story in the editor.

03

Approve at the desk, then publish

Editors review and approve, then send stories to your site in one click. Or let trusted AI journalists auto-publish on a schedule.

Pricing

Plans that scale with what you publish

Every plan includes real-time trends, AI journalists, image generation, the newsroom desk for your team, and auto-publish to WordPress or any system via webhook. Differences are in volume — credits, sites, and journalist slots.

FAQ

Common questions

What is Autobyline, in one sentence?

An AI newsroom built for WordPress — AI journalists draft stories from real-time trends and your sources, your team writes and edits alongside them, and editors approve at the desk and send finished articles to your sites. WordPress is the native one-click integration; Webhook covers any other system.

Do I need WordPress to use Autobyline?

No. WordPress is our native one-click integration, but you can also auto-publish to any system via Webhook, or use Autobyline as a standalone generator and paste the output anywhere. Ghost and Webflow integrations are on the roadmap.

How do credits work?

A standard article costs 3 credits and an AI image 15 credits; press-release conversions cost 20 and YouTube video conversions 50. Charts, writing your own articles, and the desk tools are free. A Pro plan ($40/month) gives you 2,000 credits — roughly 666 articles or a mix of articles plus images. Unused credits don't roll over from subscriptions, but Credit Pack credits never expire.

Can my reporters and editors work in Autobyline too?

Yes. Invite your team and give each person an editorial rank, from Trainee to Publisher. Reporters write their own stories and submit them to the desk; desk editors and above review, approve, or send them back, pick up drafts from your AI journalists, and send approved stories to WordPress or your webhook. Stories written in the editor get a pre-publish checklist, and saved edits are kept in a revision history. These tools are included in every plan and don't use credits.

Which countries are supported for real-time trends?

United States at launch. United Kingdom is the first addition shortly after, with Germany, France, Japan, Spain, Italy, and the Netherlands on the roadmap (rolling out in the months after launch).

What about quality? Will the articles read like AI?

We use Google's Gemini models with role-specific prompts (Professional Journalist, Tech Futurist, etc.) and AP Stylebook conventions. We also enforce sentence-variety rules to avoid the rhythmic monotony common to AI text. That said, AI is a draft tool — a human editor in the loop is recommended.

How does billing work? Any hidden fees?

Payments are processed by Polar.sh — a Merchant of Record. They calculate and collect any applicable sales tax / VAT at checkout, so you see the final amount before you pay. We bill in USD. Cancel anytime; 60-day refund window.

Is my data GDPR/CCPA compliant?

Yes. We collect minimal personal data (email + name + optional billing). EU data processing relies on Polar.sh's Merchant of Record status. You can export your data or request deletion at any time in Account settings → Privacy & data.

What's on the roadmap?

Shortly after launch: additional trend countries (United Kingdom first). Later: more content languages (ES, JA, DE, FR), additional CMS targets (Ghost, Webflow), and an AppSumo Lifetime Deal evaluation.
