Why editors trust the drafts

Sounds like you

Tone, length and structure come from your own archive, not a generic template.

Every fact traceable

Figures, names and dates point to where they came from, so checking takes seconds.

Nothing invented

When the source does not say something, the draft does not guess. It tells your editor what is missing.

In every draft

Ready to publish, not just ready to read

A draft arrives with everything your site needs, so approving it is the last step, not the first of several.

  • Headline and storyWritten in your voice, at the length and structure you use.
  • Category and tagsChosen from the ones your site already has.
  • A featured imageFrom the source when it has one you can use, and credited.
  • Source creditNamed the way your publication names its sources.
  • Linked factsEach figure, name and date points to where it came from.
  • Flagged gapsWhat the sources do not say is marked for your editor, never filled in.

The assistant

Ask for the change, the way you’d ask a colleague

Shorter headline, a different angle, the dates up top, a version for social. The assistant edits the draft in front of you and never adds facts the sources do not support.

  • Works on the draft you are reading
  • Knows your archive and your style
  • You accept or ignore each change

Assistant

Make the headline shorter and move the dates to the top.

Done. Headline is now 7 words, and the start date leads the second paragraph.

Headline shortened Paragraphs reordered Nothing added that the sources don’t say

What your edits changed this week

Why now

Three things changed this year

Writing with AI stopped being the hard part. Being trusted for it is.

01

AI can finally hold a house style

The latest models keep a voice, a structure and a vocabulary steady across hundreds of articles. That makes drafting from the source, in your voice, practical for a daily desk instead of a demo.

Measured on our own drafts: style held across every brand we run.

02

Generic AI text is now a liability

Search engines treat pages mass-produced to rank as spam, whatever tool wrote them, and readers leave the moment copy sounds generated. What still works is what Mediastilo does: one real story from a real source, in a voice readers know.

Google Search spam policies, “scaled content abuse” (since March 2024).

03

The law now rewards a human editor

Since 2 August 2026, AI-generated text published to inform the public must be labelled as such, unless a person has reviewed it and the publisher holds editorial responsibility. Mediastilo is built around that review: nothing is published until your editor approves it.

EU AI Act, Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, Article 50(4).

Questions about drafts

Does it copy the source?

No. It writes a new story in your voice from what the sources report. If you want a source published word for word, for example your own press releases, that is a separate choice per source.

How does it learn our voice?

From the stories you have already published, and from every draft you approve, edit or reject afterwards. You can see what it learned and change it.

What does a draft cost?

A finished draft uses 5 credits. Reading your sources and using the dashboard never use credits; the pricing page lists what does.

Do AI-written stories need a label?

Under Article 50(4) of the EU AI Act, from 2 August 2026, AI-generated text published to inform the public on matters of public interest must be disclosed, unless it has gone through human review or editorial control and someone holds editorial responsibility for it. In Mediastilo a person approves every story before it is published.
