Writing in the Digital Era : How about a Writer Robot?

In this digital age, there is no need for anybody to be a techie to make use of the widespread opportunities that the internet provides.

“Considering the number of engineers working in engineering fields today, more artists than engineers earn their living with the internet.”

With a lot of creative artists going digital, the technologists have started building apps that actually can understand the pains of creative artists. But the question is, are we spending enough of our time on the possibilities of simplifying the life of artists that are less tech savvy.

Take the case of writers, we have technology writers and writers that write about non technical stuff. There is a dearth of technology writers because most technologists are attracted to other tech professions. Even those tech writers in the corporate industry/academia write great essays/research reports not interesting blog posts; they are good at documenting manuals but not produce interesting tech stories. There are exceptions to this, but not always.

Brands are finding it difficult to get content writers to write the required blog posts/SEO marketing articles about their technology.

If we can get non-technical writers from a journalism/literature background to write about tech products, won’t there be more interesting material online?

At ContentOP we decided to do this. i.e.Helping non technology writers to write about those niche material that are less known to them. These are those writers that earn their living by writing articles & blog posts for their clients. They have clients from different industries-one from travel industry, other client owns an ecommerce(e-retail) portal; while the other one is an insurance company.

Now if they choose to write in an unknown niche, they have to spend almost 80% of their time researching their topic than actually writing something. We want to take the pain out of these content writers. We are building a web application that can not only generate content outlines(it’s an Artificially Intelligent tool) but can also learn on its own (in technical terms -with machine/deep learning capabilities) just like humans.

Is this exciting?

Will write about that in detail in future days. Till then, please feel free to share your thoughts on what you think about this idea.
