Your First Draft in 5 Minutes

By the end of this page, you’ll have a platform-ready draft that sounds like you — not like a chatbot wearing your name.

​
1. Create your account

Sign up at draftliftai.com using Google, LinkedIn, or GitHub. You’ll land on the dashboard immediately — no email verification required.

​
2. Teach DraftLift who you are

The first thing DraftLift needs is who you are. Not your bio — your voice. Navigate to Memories in the sidebar and click New Memory. Start with something specific:
Title: My backgroundBody: I’m a B2B SaaS marketer with 8 years of experience. I’ve led growth at two startups from 0to0 to 5M ARR. I specialize in content-led growth and product marketing.
“I write in a conversational tone” is okay. “I write short paragraphs, use rhetorical questions as hooks, and end posts with a direct CTA — never ‘What do you think?’” is much better. The more specific your memories, the more DraftLift sounds like you.

​
3. Pick your vessel

Click Generate in the sidebar to open the generation pipeline. Step 1 — Optionally select reference materials (skip this for now). Step 2 — Choose a template. Each template is a vessel — purpose-built for what actually works on that platform:
  • LinkedIn Post — Professional storytelling, single-sentence paragraphs, 1-4 hashtags
  • Blog Post — Structured long-form with headers and actionable insights
  • X / Twitter Post — Punchy, self-contained, 280-character hard limit
  • Email Newsletter — Scannable copy with subject line and single CTA
  • Short Video Script — TikTok/Reels/Shorts with a 3-second hook
  • YouTube Video Script — Structured sections with re-engagement hooks

​
4. Tell DraftLift what to say

Step 3 — Enter your direction. Tell DraftLift what to say, not how to format it. The vessel handles the formatting.
“Most B2B companies waste money on content marketing by producing generic SEO articles instead of opinion-driven thought leadership. The companies winning right now build trust with 500 of the right people instead of chasing 50,000 pageviews.”
Select your preferred AI model (Pro+ tiers choose between GPT-5.2 and Claude Opus), then click Generate. DraftLift assembles your memories, references, and vessel rules into a single prompt. The output already reflects your voice, expertise, and style — you’re not starting from scratch.
For more on writing great directions, see the Prompting Guide. Short version: focus on the idea, not the format.

​
5. Refine in the editor

Your draft arrives pre-screened. The editor highlights anything that sounds like a robot.
  • Edit directly with rich formatting — bold, italic, links
  • Check readability — Flesch-Kincaid grade level, reading ease, word count, reading time in the sidebar
  • Review anti-slop flags — highlighted patterns with severity levels and specific fix suggestions
  • Get AI suggestions — editing recommendations organized by structure, voice, hooks, and readability
The anti-slop system has already caught the worst offenders during generation. What you see in the editor are the subtler patterns worth reviewing.

​
6. Pour into more vessels

Once you’re happy with your content, use Content Conversion to repurpose it across platforms. A blog post becomes LinkedIn posts, X posts, and email newsletters — each adapted to the target vessel’s format and conventions. You’ve already done the hard work. Now get credit everywhere.
