Issue No. 04 — On writing, with help
Most AI writing sounds like everyone at once. Second Draft starts from the other end: your old posts, your style guide, the words you'd never use. Then it drafts.
The voice profile is built from your published work, not the internet's average, and it shows you which traits it picked up. When it gets something wrong, you fix the profile once instead of every draft.
How it works
Most teams have a usable first draft within ten minutes of signing up.
Paste URLs or upload documents. Five strong samples are enough for a first voice profile; thirty make it sharp.
Pick a format, tone, length and target keyword. Add notes like "mention the March pricing change".
Get a full draft with an SEO score, tighten it in the editor, then export as Markdown, HTML or .docx.
Why it works
01 Rewrite
Highlight a line that came out stiff and try it friendly, formal or confident side by side. Second Draft keeps your facts and product names intact and only changes how the sentence lands.
02 Brand voice
After you add samples, Second Draft shows what it learned: how warm, direct or playful you are, your average sentence length, the words you love and the ones you never use. Move a slider and every new draft follows.
03 SEO
Set a target keyword and watch the score move as you write. The checklist names exactly what's missing — keyword in an H2, a meta description under 155 characters, two internal links. It never asks you to stuff keywords.

Testimonials
“Our product pages went from "copy pending" to live in a week. The SEO checklist caught three missing meta descriptions.”
“I fed it 40 newsletter issues. The first draft used my sign-off and my habit of opening with a question. Slightly unnerving.”
“Four freelancers, one voice profile. Readers can't tell who wrote which post anymore, which is the whole point.”
“It flagged "utilize" every single time. Turns out I'd used it 31 times in one quarter. I've stopped.”

No. Your samples and drafts are used only to build your private voice profile and generate your drafts. They never train shared models, and our model providers are contractually barred from training on them. Delete a workspace and everything is gone within 30 days, backups included.
Every draft is generated fresh from your brief, and long-form drafts run through a plagiarism check against the public web before you see them. Any matching passage longer than 12 words is highlighted so you can rewrite or cite it.
Anything over 500 words: blog posts, guides, case studies, long newsletters. Emails, product descriptions, ad variants and rewrites are unlimited on every plan and never count toward the monthly limit.
You set a target keyword and Second Draft checks about 20 on-page factors: keyword in the title and H2s, meta description length, internal and external links, image alt text, readability and heading structure. It can't promise rankings; it makes sure the basics are never the reason you don't rank.
Every plan exports drafts as Markdown, HTML or .docx, and copying into most editors keeps formatting intact. Pro and Team can push drafts to any CMS via webhook, including title, slug, meta description and image alt text.
Yes, from the billing page at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately and are prorated; downgrades apply at the next billing date. If you cancel, you keep access until the end of the paid month and can export every draft first.
Add five samples, write one brief, and read a draft in your own voice in under ten minutes.
