Intro
What Papera is, what you can create with it, and how these docs are organized.
Welcome to Papera. Papera is an AI content studio: you write a single piece of content once, tailor it for each platform, and publish or schedule it everywhere — from presentations to social posts — without rebuilding it by hand for every channel.
What Papera does
Papera treats your idea as one source of truth and renders it into many outputs. The same content unit can become:
- a presentation you can present or export,
- a social post shaped to each network's limits and tone,
- and more renderers over time — one input, many outputs.
You draft with AI (or bring your own model over MCP), review and approve the result, then connect your accounts and let triggers publish on your cadence.
Core ideas
A few concepts show up throughout these guides:
- Content unit — the platform-agnostic source your outputs render from.
- Renderer — turns a content unit into a concrete output (slides, a post).
- Flow canvas — the visual map of a project: content, outputs, accounts, and the triggers that publish them.
- Trigger — a publish automation you wire to the posts it should fire.
A one-line example
Most of what you do starts from a content unit and fans out. Conceptually:
content unit → renderer → output → account → trigger → published
