The Editor is a multi-tenant editorial management platform that integrates directly with WordPress sites. It provides article review, AI-powered grammar checking, scheduling, writer assignments, editorial checklists, and a bot service that connects to Discord and Slack. The platform streamlines the entire editorial workflow from article submission to publication, with configurable quality rules per organization.
01The problem
Managing editorial teams across multiple publications meant juggling WordPress admin panels, Slack threads, email chains, and spreadsheets. There was no centralized way to enforce quality standards, track assignments, or automate the review-to-publish pipeline. Editors spent more time on process management than actual editing.
02The approach
Built a SaaS platform with a React dashboard, Express API, and AI-powered review engine. A WordPress plugin connects each publication to the platform, sending articles through automated quality checks (word count, links, photos, grammar) before scheduling. A Discord/Slack bot acts as an editorial assistant, handling assignments, reminders, and style guidance using RAG-based AI.

WHAT LASTED
The Editor demonstrates how AI and automation can transform editorial operations without replacing the human judgment that makes great content. By embedding intelligent review, assignment tracking, and bot-powered assistance into the tools editors already use, the platform lets teams publish faster while maintaining higher quality standards.
