A drafting desk for people who write
A researched first draft in your voice. You sign off on every fact.
Bylinewise reads the sources, writes only from what it found, then checks each sentence against its passage and shows you the ones that need your judgement.
No card, no password. The Free plan has 2 articles a month, and learning your voice costs nothing.
Your review
Why the library stays open late
The Millbrook library moved its closing time to nine in March. Evening visits doubled within a month. Small decisions like this are what a town should brag about.
Evening visits doubled within a month.
A detail is missing from the source or stated more strongly than the source does.
Evening visits rose through the spring, the librarian said.
- Facts only from sources it read
- No approval until you decide
- Drafts only. You publish.
- Failed articles are free
Why another writing tool
A fast draft only helps if you can trust it
-
It sounds like nobody in particular.
Bylinewise learns from your own texts. Every rule of your voice shows where it came from, and you can change or remove it.
-
The link is real. The fact isn't in it.
A fact enters the article only if its quote is found word for word in the source. Each sentence is then checked against that passage.
-
The bill comes as a surprise.
You see the plans before you sign up. A failed or cancelled article costs nothing, bought articles never expire, and a subscription cancels in one click.
Before building this we read about 125 recent Trustpilot reviews of 11 article generators. Money came up most often: quiet renewals, credits that expire, paying for a retry.
How it works
From your old texts to a draft you can stand behind
-
01
Teach it your voice
Point it at your publication, add links, paste or upload past texts. No archive? A short interview works too. Learning a voice is free.
-
02
Give it the facts to work from
Ask for a web search, give links, paste notes or query an API. A fact is kept only with a word-for-word quote, and a page that can't be read is listed as not read.
-
03
See what was collected
Before a word is written, you see every fact with its quote. Nothing has been charged, and going back is free.
-
04
It writes and checks
It writes from those facts in your voice, checks each claim against its passage, and makes a cover and charts. You can close the tab: an email says when it's ready.
-
05
You decide and sign off
Sentences that need you are marked, with the passage beside them. Then export the article or send it as a draft to WordPress, Ghost or Kit. You publish.
Your voice
A voice you can read, not a setting you have to trust
Your voice is written down as rules you can check, next to samples of your writing and numbers counted by code. Every rule shows the text it came from. Change one, or remove it, and the next article follows.
Your voice · example
-
Opens on one concrete scene, never on a definition.
The back table -
Says “I” only for what the author did or saw.
From the interview -
Keeps the numbers out of the first paragraph.

Your sources
You see what it read, and what it couldn't
Every source shows its publisher, its date and the day it was read. A page that refused is listed as not read, never quietly replaced, because a gap you can see is one you can fill.

What else comes with it
Everything around the draft
-
It learns from your edits
Add the final version and see how much you rewrote, article by article. An edit you repeat is offered as a rule, and it becomes one only if you say so.
-
A cover, and charts from checked numbers
One cover with your headline set by code, and charts drawn only from numbers in the facts, instead of decorative pictures through the text.
-
It goes where you write
Copy for Substack, export HTML, Markdown or Word, or send a draft to WordPress, Ghost or Kit with a click. Nothing goes anywhere until you send it.
-
Honest with your readers
A ready “How I make this” note, provenance in exports, and a public page where anyone can check a text.
-
A voice for each author
Write as yourself, as your brand or for a client who agreed. Each author has their own texts, voice and articles, kept apart from the others.
-
An API for your app
Authors, voices and articles with stages, events and webhooks. The price comes back before anything is charged.
Why not just use a chat window
A chat window writes. This one also answers for it.
| What matters | A chat window | Bylinewise |
|---|---|---|
| Your voice | A style picked up from samples, with no rules you can read | Rules you can read and edit, each showing where it came from |
| Facts | May come from the model's memory | Only from sources it read, each with a word-for-word quote |
| Links | It's on you to open each one and see if it backs the sentence | Each sentence is checked against its passage, and doubtful ones are marked |
| Sign-off | Nothing asks you to look before you copy | No approval while a claim is still open |
| Your edits | They stay in your editor | Repeated edits are offered back as rules |
| Your readers | Nothing to show them | A “How I make this” note and a public check |

Plainly
What we promise, and what we don't
We promise
- Each claim is linked to a source passage on the date it was read, or accepted by you.
- You see the price before an article starts. Failed or cancelled work is free.
- Nothing reaches a platform except as a draft, and only when you send it. We never email your subscribers.
- Your texts, your voice and your articles stay yours.
We don't promise
- That the draft needs no editing. You are the editor.
- That every fact is true. A source can be wrong, and you can see which one it was.
- That nobody can tell a model helped. We give you what you need to say so.
- That every page gets read. A site's refusal is respected and shown to you.
You don't have to take our word for it
Bylinewise keeps a hash of every sentence its model writes. Anyone can paste a text and see how many of its sentences the model wrote.

Questions
What people ask first
Will I still need to edit?
Yes. It's a first draft, and you are the editor. Bylinewise shows you which sentences need your judgement, and counts how much you rewrote, article by article, so you can see whether that is falling.
How close will it sound to me?
It's built from your own texts: rules you can read, each showing where it came from, and samples of your writing. It gets closer as your repeated edits become rules. We don't promise that nobody could tell it from you, so read it before you sign it.
I have no past texts. Can I still use it?
Yes. A short interview gives you a provisional voice, and the final texts of your first articles teach it.
Should I tell my readers?
That's your call, and where the law asks you to disclose it, you do. Bylinewise is no way of hiding it: you get a ready “How I make this” note, exports carry provenance, and anyone can paste a text into the public check.
Does it publish for me?
Never. A draft reaches WordPress, Ghost or Kit only when you send it, and always as a draft. Bylinewise doesn't publish anything or email your subscribers.
What if a site blocks it?
The page is listed as not read, with the reason. Bylinewise respects robots.txt and doesn't get around blocks, so you always see what it couldn't read.
What counts as an article on my plan?
An article counts from its start, unless it fails, you cancel it or it expires: those cost nothing. Learning a voice is free.
Can I cancel?
In one click, on the Billing page. We email you a week before a renewal, and bought articles and API balance never expire.
Start with your voice. It's free.
Add a few of your texts or answer the interview, and read the rules it found before you write anything.
