Write your first article

An article in Zsper moves through stages: idea → conversation → outline → draft → editing → published. You stay in control at every gate; nothing advances without you.

1. Start from an idea

On the New screen, describe the idea in a sentence or two and choose Article. If you're not sure what to write, the calendar and your topics suggest pieces — each with the reason attached.

Zsper opens with what it noticed: which of your stances and stories are relevant, and what angle it would take. This is a conversation, not a form — push back, add context, or paste supporting material.

2. Shape it like an editor would

Expect a few sharp questions: who is this for, what do you actually believe, which story from your experience proves it. Your answers do two jobs — they shape this piece, and they become proposed knowledge for future ones.

3. Approve the outline

Zsper proposes a structure: the argument, the sections, where your stories land. Reorder, cut, or redirect it. The draft only starts on your explicit yes.

4. Watch the draft stream in

Sections stream in live, written from your most-trusted knowledge in your measured voice. Drafting a full article takes about a minute; the writing never invents a stat, name, date, or quote you didn't give it.

At the end of every draft you'll find the receipts — the actual opinions, stories, and facts it was built from.

5. Edit, then publish

Edit freely — your edits are signal. When you publish, the learning loop runs: knowledge that survived your edits gains trust, what you cut backs off, and any new stances you wrote get proposed to the brain.

There is no auto-publish. Zsper drafts; you ship.
