How do I turn a topic into a publishable master draft?
AnswerStart with a topic, then write one master draft. The Dianwu writer locks the topic title: the output title stays that sentence, the body explains the question first, and brand facts from the corpus appear only where they serve this topic—not as a product brochure. The draft lives under articles, then becomes platform variants.
Where the title comes from
Type a topic in the writer, or open a card from the topic factory. A factory title is written into the brief and used as this piece’s title. How the board collects topics is in How does the topic factory work?. What’s out there starts in market as a model pass you edit before spawning a topic—How do market research packs work, and what do I edit after the model runs?.
Put product notes and cases in corpus first. When writing, pick cite tags so the model pulls those items instead of the whole warehouse. Tag use is in How do I store corpus and cite tags while writing?. Proven copy goes in hits; the writer can opt in.
Master draft versus platform copy
Finish a long piece that stands on its own, then reshape tone in copy. Do not crop to a platform’s length before the argument exists.
Check machine tone with How does AI-tone detect work, and how do I rewrite?. The same piece can become voiceover, a podcast, or short video. Shipping is How do I sync one master draft to many platforms?.

Short answers
- Is the first generation the final draft?
- No. Generation is a first pass. You edit until it can publish. Heavy machine tone goes through How does AI-tone detect work, and how do I rewrite?.
- Can I write with an empty corpus?
- Yes. With no corpus you only write the topic. Add brand facts later so the model does not invent numbers or customers.
