SEO writer has Claude build a content-brief app

What they did

With Claude's help they built a Node.js app they run from the command line. They give it an article topic, and it pulls from the Anthropic API, NCBI and a couple of other data sources to write a content brief covering search intent, an outline, FAQs, entities, internal link ideas and sources.

How it went

They call it "my research and briefing layer before content gets written" and say they use it on live work.

Worth knowing

• They pay for API calls on every brief. The tool only does research and briefing; the writing still happens separately.
• Price check: Claude: free plan; Pro: US$20/month, or US$17/month on a yearly plan (US$200/year) (checked Nov 1, 2026).
