SECTION 01 / The system

From a loose idea
to a reviewable article.

Content Pilot brings NinjaWeb’s WordPress plugin and local editorial tools into one working process. Ideas, AI-assisted drafts, images and delivery checks stay connected, with human review at the publishing handoff.

Originality before output

Check the idea against existing content and give the article a specific reader, angle and purpose.

A complete draft package

Bring the article, topic-specific image, categories, SEO fields and internal links into the same workflow.

A deliberate handoff

Make the draft inspectable, record editorial decisions and schedule only after explicit approval.

SECTION 02 / Follow an article

A clear next step.
At every stage.

Explore the same six stages shown in the preview, from the brief to approval and scheduling.

STEP 01 / BRIEF

Start with a reason to write.

An approved topic becomes a brief with a target reader, useful angle, evidence requirements and a clear connection to the service being discussed.

What this step preparesThe editorial brief
  • Reader & purpose
  • Angle & proof required
  • Originality check
STEP 02 / DRAFT

Turn the brief into an article.

AI assists with drafting. The article is shaped around its argument and examples, then saved as a working package for further review.

What this step preparesThe working article
  • Article body & structure
  • Examples & supporting details
  • Saved local package
STEP 03 / WORDPRESS

Prepare the WordPress draft.

Save the article as a WordPress draft, with categories, the primary category, Yoast fields and relevant internal links. The featured image follows in the next stage.

What this step preparesThe WordPress package
  • Draft post & metadata
  • Categories & Yoast fields
  • Internal links
STEP 04 / IMAGE

Give the topic its own image.

A topic-specific image follows the visual brief. It is reviewed, compressed and attached to the WordPress draft with the supporting image fields.

What this step preparesThe featured image
  • Visual review
  • Compressed image & alt text
  • Featured attachment
STEP 05 / CHECK

Inspect before handing over.

Delivery checks verify the post fields and image attachment. A passing package can be marked ready for review; an open issue goes back for correction.

What this step preparesThe delivery gate
  • Required fields inspected
  • Image attachment verified
  • Ready for editorial review
STEP 06 / APPROVE & SCHEDULE

Keep the final decision visible.

The editor reviews the draft and any notes. Approval is recorded separately, then the calendar is checked before the approved item is scheduled.

What this step preparesThe editorial decision
  • Resolve review notes
  • Record explicit approval
  • Check calendar & schedule

Explore each stage. This is an illustrative workflow using sample content.

SECTION 03 / The article package

More than
the article body.

The draft needs its supporting details: a relevant image, useful metadata, the right category and links. The delivery checks bring those details into the review process.

SECTION 04 / Review and scheduling

Ready for review
is a handoff.

Editorial notes can send an article back for changes. A reviewed draft needs a recorded approval before the separate scheduling step, with the calendar checked for a suitable slot.

SECTION 05 / The review workspace

The editorial queue.
The actual interface.

Schedule Review brings the article, destination, category, publishing time, delivery gate and editorial notes into one view. Status filters separate pending work from scheduled and published records.

Captured from the existing local Schedule Review interface. The visible counts and statuses belong to the saved queue shown.
