Hosted blog platforms ask you to write; AI auto-bloggers spam SEO posts and walk away. Ever Works researches the topic, generates the posts, ships the site, and keeps re-running on a schedule — content and code, owned in your own Git. A dedicated long-form post writer is rolling out; today the posts come from the same pipeline that writes directory items.
Most options force you to pick between 'hosted CMS, and you do the writing' and 'AI generates SEO spam.' Ever Works is the middle path: real research, real posts, kept current on a schedule — and you own everything in Git.
Agents read the web and produce the research the generation pass uses — so content has a real point of view, not just a paraphrase of the top SERP. A SERP-grounded brief you can edit before writing is not a stage we ship yet.
Research and the generic items pipeline ship today — a Blog Work's Posts tab is fed by the same writer that produces directory items, categories and tags. A dedicated long-form post generator is rolling out. Drafts land as PRs you (or the runtime) review and merge.
Production Next.js code generated alongside the content — your blog UI, taxonomy, RSS, and SEO scaffolding ship as code in your repo, not a hosted black box.
Set a cadence — seven of them, hourly to monthly, with retries and auto-pause after repeated failures. Each run re-runs the generation pipeline, opens a pull request, and merges under your merge policy if you trust it, with no editorial channel to staff. Cadence, topics prompt and posts-per-run already live in your works.yml; the post writer behind them is rolling out.
Scheduled runs keep the generated content current in Git, where every change arrives as a reviewable diff. A targeted refresh pass — re-reading published posts for dated stats and dead links, then rewriting them in place — is on the roadmap rather than shipped.
Newsletter capture, RSS, social previews, sitemap and structured data ship inside the generated site, so new content is discoverable without a marketing person on call. Read the fine print honestly: subscriber capture, feeds and JSON-LD ship on the classic template, and blog Works default to the web template today.
