Intro

Welcome to Papera. Papera is an AI writing studio for articles: you describe a topic, review the draft it writes, and publish the finished article to your portal.

What Papera does

Papera turns an idea into a published article in three steps:

1. Describe a topic. Papera researches it and proposes an outline for your approval, then writes the article from it.
2. Review the draft. Edit the text yourself, or ask for changes in your own words, until it says what you want.
3. Publish it. The article goes to your portal, and your working draft stays private until you publish again.

Your portal is a public page that lists everything you have published. Readers can search it and filter it. It lives on a Papera address, or on your own domain if you connect one.

Core ideas

A few concepts show up throughout these guides:

• Content unit: the source text of your writing, kept apart from how it is shown.
• Renderer: turns a content unit into an article, with its own layout, cover and SEO settings.
• Flow canvas: the visual map of a project, showing your content and the outputs made from it.
• Portal: the public page that lists your published articles.

A one-line example

Conceptually, every article follows the same path:

content unit → renderer → article → portal
