Ideas, briefs, drafts, publish
Mind is the part of Giant Context that doesn't wait for you. It reviews your project — at least once a day — and notices what's missing, what's stale, and what your CRM and knowledge base suggest you should write next. But it doesn't act on any of that behind your back. Everything it wants to do passes through four gates you control: Ideas, Briefs, Drafts, Publish. You decide how many of them Mind gets to open.
The four gates
Each gate is a checkpoint, and each one is cheaper than the next. Noticing is free. Ideas and briefs are cheap. Drafting is where the real compute goes. Mind does the free and cheap work first, so you steer direction before anything expensive runs.
What a brief is
A brief is the plan Mind writes before it builds. When you approve an idea, Mind doesn't jump straight to a finished draft — it first writes a short spec for the piece: the angle, the structure, and what it will include. That is the brief.
The point is order of operations. A brief is cheap to produce and cheap to reject. A full draft — with its fact extraction, design, section generation, and quality checks — is expensive. The brief lets you shape the direction of a page while it's still an outline, not after Mind has spent the compute building the whole thing. Approve the brief and Mind builds. Send it back and Mind re-plans.
You control each gate per content type
The gates aren't one global switch. Every content type has its own set, in the Project → AI tab. Website pages, blog posts, emails, KB articles — each one has an independent toggle for ideas, for drafting, and for publishing.
So you can let Mind propose ideas for everything but only draft emails on its own. You can let it draft blog posts while keeping your pricing page manual. The controls are as fine-grained as you want them.
Autopublish is the top rung
Publish is the last gate, and it's the one most worth keeping closed at first. By default, you approve everything. Nothing goes live without you.
When Mind has hit the mark a few times on a given content type, you can hand it that gate — opt-in autopublish, one content type at a time. Ready drafts of that type then go live without a further click. It's the kind of thing you turn on for email sends or routine blog updates long before you would turn it on for your homepage. And it's revocable: take the gate back any time.
Start with approvals. Hand over publishing when you trust it.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
A brief is the plan — the angle and structure Mind will build from. A draft is the finished piece. The brief comes first so you can redirect a page while it's still an outline, before Mind spends the compute to build it.
Only if you let it. The default is that you approve everything. You can hand the publish gate to Mind for a specific content type once you trust it, and take it back whenever you want.
In the Project → AI tab. Each content type — pages, posts, emails, KB articles — has its own toggles for ideas, drafting, and publishing.
