Why it holds up

Built for Publishing. Powered by AI.

  1. Agentic AI inside every stage

    40+ specialist agents work within ideation, authoring, editorial, production and QA. They sit inside each stage rather than alongside it in a separate tool.

  2. Standards and accessibility in production

    JATS, ePub, metadata tagging, alt text and accessibility checks run as part of the production stage. Compliance is continuous rather than a remediation pass at the end.

  3. Governance, approval and audit

    Roles, permissions and approvals are managed centrally, and rights travel with the content. Nothing publishes without sign-off, and every step is recorded.

  4. Open, multi-tenant architecture

    SSO, LTI and API integrations into the systems already in place, on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud. Shared infrastructure rather than a bespoke deployment per publisher.

Publishing workflow

From first idea to publication

Each stage works on the same manuscript, the same metadata and the same approvals trail. Agents take the repetitive passes; your editors keep the calls that matter.

  • Ideation

    Make better-informed publishing decisions

    Use market intelligence, catalogue analysis, standards mapping, and content insights to identify opportunities, assess gaps, and shape stronger publishing plans.

  • Authoring

    Support authors from concept to submission

    Bring research, co-authoring, outlining, citation support, and pre-submission checks into the authoring workflow to help teams develop stronger manuscripts more efficiently.

  • Editorial

    Strengthen quality across the editorial process

    Support developmental editing, structural editing, copyediting, fact-checking, citations, and proofreading with AI-assisted workflows while keeping editorial judgment and review with people.

  • Production

    Move approved content efficiently into production

    Automate formatting, metadata, accessibility, translation, and multi-format transformation to prepare content for ePub, XML, print, and other publishing outputs.
