I’ve been building blogs on and off since 2016 and one thing that always frustrated me was how most AI writing tools seemed focused on generating more content, not better content.

So I ended up building my own tool, Publizo.

It helps with topic research, article generation, scheduling, and publishing to WordPress. The main thing I’m trying to solve is making AI assisted content feel less generic and repetitive, while still saving a lot of time.

Started as something I built for my own sites and eventually turned into a product.

I’ve been building blogs on and off since 2016 across different niches and eventually got frustrated with how most AI writing tools approached content. They were great at generating words, not necessarily articles that felt human or publishable long term.

So I started building my own workflow for my sites and eventually turned it into Publizo.io.

It handles topic research, long form article generation, scheduling, thumbnails, and WordPress publishing, but the main thing I care about is making the output feel less like “AI content” and more like something an actual person would write.

Still early and actively improving it, but it’s already running a few of my own sites and has been really fun to build. I'm getting what I wanted so far.

Would genuinely love feedback on the landing page, positioning, or even the overall idea itself. If you have a blog, you can even try it.

I started my first WordPress site back in 2016 in the motivational niche. No strategy at all, just curiosity and a lot of trial and error.

Over the next few years I ended up launching around 10 blogs across different niches like news, affiliate, machine learning, and a few random experiments. I was basically learning everything the hard way as I went, SEO, design, speed, affiliate stuff, and how to actually write posts people would read past the intro.

Around 2021 I stepped away from it for a while because I was focused on UI/UX work, and most of the sites just sat there.

I came back around 2024 to 2025 and things felt very different with AI in the mix, but also kind of the same problem in a new form.

From my experience, blogging still comes down to recency, depth, and consistency. If you want search traffic you need to publish regularly and actually cover topics properly. The issue is that good posts still take hours if you care about quality, and most AI writing tools I tried just felt like they were optimizing for length rather than usefulness. Same tone, same filler phrases, not much real substance.

So I ended up building my own pipeline mainly for my own sites. I’ve attached a screenshot of early stats from one of them for context.

It basically handles topic selection, generates long form articles with stricter rules around tone and structure, pulls real stock images instead of AI images, and publishes to WordPress either as drafts or directly if I enable it. It also rotates between a few AI providers so I do not get stuck mid-run when one rate limits.

Right now I have two active sites running on it, one astrology and one news, plus a third machine learning site I use for testing.

I am still early into this setup, but it has been interesting seeing how it behaves compared to the usual AI writing tools.

Mostly sharing because I feel like a lot of tools in this space are built by people who have not actually run content sites long term. Curious what others are doing now in 2026 and what is actually working for them.
