AI writing collapsed the cost of drafts. It didn't collapse the cost of quality. This guide covers the workflow that keeps AI output shippable.
1. Research with Perplexity
Start with cited research — never let the LLM invent facts.
2. Outline with Claude or ChatGPT
Draft an outline first; long-form prose from a bad outline compounds mistakes.
3. Draft with Claude
Claude's writing quality is the highest by default; ChatGPT is close.
4. Optimize with Writesonic or Surfer
Add on-page SEO checks against the SERP after drafting, not before.
5. Edit like a human
Always keep an editorial pass — voice, accuracy, brand fit.
6. Ship with schema and internal links
Publishing hygiene: schema, internal links, images with alt text, updated dates.
