Check and fix

Every draft checked against your writing rules

Before you see a draft, Draftly checks it against your writing rules. Banned AI words like "seamless" and "leverage", numbers with no source, meta titles outside 50 to 60 characters, a missing H1 or a call to action in the wrong place all fail the check.

The difference

Why it works differently

AI drafts repeat the same habits: filler words, numbers with no source, meta titles too long for Google.

Draftly checks every draft with code before you see it.

Every draft is checked for:

  • Banned AI words and phrases
  • Numbers with no source
  • Meta title and description lengths
  • One H1, heading style and link placement

A draft that fails a hard rule gets one automatic fix pass.

How it works

A failed check gets one automatic fix pass. In our 20-brief test, Claude Sonnet 5.5 posts passed every hard rule 95% of the time after that pass, and a reader-quality check scores whether the post makes sense and answers the question.

  1. Draftly writes the draftUsing your voice, your rules and any source material for the topic.
  2. Code checks the rulesNo AI guesses here: word lists, lengths, headings, links and every number are checked by code.
  3. A fix pass runsIf a hard rule fails, Draftly rewrites only what's needed and checks again.
  4. A reader-quality checkA second model scores whether it makes sense, answers the question and reads like an expert wrote it.
A generic AI paragraph with flagged phrases highlighted (banned_vocabulary, contrast_phrasing, hedging, mechanical_openers) beside the opening of an example Draftly post about flushing a water heater, written by Claude Sonnet 5.5 for a made-up plumber, that triggers none of them
Draftly's checker flags four rules in the generic paragraph and none in the example Draftly draft.

What it doesn't do

  • The checks catch patterns. Someone who knows your business should still read each post before it goes live.
