How to generate publish-ready content with AI
Move from a structured brief to a reviewed draft, with writing controls, available sources, editing and delivery context in one workspace. Verify claims and inspect the destination before publication.
Publish-ready content is not unreviewed AI output. It is a structured, source-grounded draft that has passed human verification, editing, deterministic content checks, metadata review, and a destination preview appropriate to its risk. In Quill the workflow is four steps: define the brief and source scope, generate a draft with available source context, review it and approve where policy requires, then use direct WordPress or Ghost publishing, the Medium draft handoff, or an export. Board and finance material requires especially careful verification before any later presentation layout.
What makes AI writing review-ready?
Writing controls and review context help your team prepare a draft for its publishing destination.
Content is generated with heading hierarchy and supplied-keyword direction, then checked for readability, links, brief coverage, answer readiness, and overlap with your own library. Delivery metadata can be generated and edited before publishing.
Selected source settings guide research and use of supplied material. When admitted sources and citations are available, inspect them with the draft. They do not independently verify its claims or exclude model knowledge.
Create a Brand Voice from writing samples and select it for eligible generation on Professional or higher. The profile guides a draft rather than guaranteeing a match; dictionary rules provide separate terminology guidance and findings.
The selected format and supported blocks guide headings, lists and body structure. Review hierarchy, wording, links and the exported file; those instructions do not guarantee a finished layout.
Publish directly to connected WordPress or Ghost sites, hand a draft to Medium, or export as PDF, DOCX, HTML, Markdown, TXT, and JSON. Inspect the receiving preview because destination rendering can differ.
The workbench reports deterministic issues across readability, structure, brief coverage, links, answer readiness, and related checks. Those checks guide review; they do not independently verify factual accuracy.
How do you go from brief to published in four steps?
Define the brief, generate, review and inspect the destination. Publication approval is an optional owner-controlled policy.
What you get when you export to Word or PDF
Most AI writers hand back prose and a download link. Quill gives you a document you set up first, with a live preview that redraws as you change it.
Headings export as real Word heading styles, not bold paragraphs, so the navigation pane and any contents list work. Numbered and bulleted lists carry their own numbering rather than typed-in digits.
Pick a theme, write the cover, choose where page numbers sit, turn the contents list on or off, set line spacing and orientation. A live preview redraws the whole document as you change each control, so you know what you are getting before you download it.
Inline markers, a references section with retrieval dates and full URLs, or both — they are separate switches. Images keep their attribution and licence line as a caption, so the file you hand over carries its own provenance rather than losing it at the door.
Six formats — PDF, Word, HTML, Markdown, plain text and JSON. The cover page and the contents list, when you include them, open both the PDF and the Word file; in Word the headings are real heading styles, the lists carry Word's own numbering and the footer numbers the pages.
See the actual export, not a description of it
Rather than describe the export, here is one. Both files are the same Quill article, exported on 30 September 2026 through the ordinary Export Document screen, both A4 portrait. Nothing was tidied up afterwards, and the article is a sample written for this purpose rather than a customer document.
3.2 MB, 36 pages, A4 portrait. The document design exactly as it was set up: a cover page with the title and date, a contents list, and a numbered footer on every page.
2.8 MB, A4 portrait, opens in Word. The same article as an editable layout: the same cover page and contents list, real Word heading styles so the navigation pane works, list numbering Word owns rather than typed-in digits, a page-numbered footer, and 19 embedded images.
They are not identical, and that is the point. PDF carries the designed print layout; DOCX arrives as an editable Word layout, where fonts, backgrounds and page breaks may differ. Inspect the downloaded file for the destination you need. Both open with the cover page and the contents list. In the Word file that list is written out as text rather than a field Word refreshes, so if you restructure the document, retype it; and the file names its fonts rather than carrying them, so a computer without Inter shows another font in its place. Both files carry the same 19 images, byte for byte. Open both before deciding which one your workflow needs — Quill exports PDF, DOCX, HTML, Markdown, TXT, and JSON, and these two are the ones that carry a document design.
Specify the source material, target audience, desired length, tone, and publishing goals. The brief gives the AI the context it needs to generate content that fits your workflow.
Generate a draft using the selected brief and format. Review headings, formatting and available citations before continuing.
Verify claims against the attached sources, add proprietary insight, resolve workbench issues, and adjust specific sections. Review time varies with topic risk, source quality, and the editor's acceptance criteria.
Review delivery metadata, then publish to connected WordPress or Ghost, hand a draft to Medium, or export. Inspect the destination preview and add CMS-only schema or social metadata where required.
