A newsroom that didn't pivot away from you.
If you bought Content at Scale as an AI blog writer, you've watched it move on. It rebranded to BrandWell and shifted toward B2B intent data, de-emphasizing the blog writer many customers came for. Its writing quality drew mixed reviews even before the pivot, and there was never a source-based fact-check or a named byline behind it. Mastheads is a focused autonomous newsroom that isn't going anywhere, built to an editorial standard from day one.
Content at Scale's two honest problems are its direction and its depth: the product pivoted to a brand-growth / intent-data suite and de-emphasized blog writing, and the writing quality it left behind drew mixed reviews. It leans on an AI-detector and humanizer, detection-avoidance, rather than fact-checking claims against sources, and there's no review hold or editor of record.
The tape.
- A tool whose entire focus is running your publication, not one that pivoted toward intent data and go-to-market tooling.
- Fact-checking against sources and a real byline, instead of an AI-detector and a humanizer.
- Autonomous discovery and scheduled publishing to Ghost, WordPress, or draft-only, with a clean export you own.
- EU AI Act, GDPR, and DMCA handling built in.
What you get that Content at Scale doesn't.
Sourced, or it doesn't ship
Every article is written from cited sources and cross-checked against them before delivery. A judge vets each source for the specific story - right event, right dates, real substance - and a topic that can't be properly sourced is dropped, not padded. No source, no article.
A real editor of record
Nothing publishes anonymously. Each article carries a real named byline and a human editor of record, accountable for editorial standards, source policy, and disputes - the person whose name is on the door.
Review by default; auto-publish you can defend
Independent quality gates can hold any article for one-click human review, and nothing ships silently. Auto-publish is opt-in and runs the very same gates - trustworthy when it's unattended, not merely unchecked.
Compliance built in, not bolted on
EU AI Act Article 50 disclosure, GDPR export and erasure, a registered DMCA agent, and a pre-publish copyright gate that stops a rights-risky image before it goes live - standard on every plan.
A newsroom in five languages
English, German, Norwegian, Swedish, and Dutch - each written in its own grammar and idiom rather than translated, held to the same quality bar, all under one subscription.
Your content, never locked in
Physical per-publication data isolation, a read-only pull API, and one-click export to WordPress WXR, Ghost, and Markdown with every image. You own the articles outright - no royalty, no attribution back to us.
Content at Scale's pivot to BrandWell de-emphasized exactly what this page is for: a dependable AI blog writer. Mastheads keeps that its whole focus, every article fact-checked against sources, held for review by default, and shipped under a real byline. One vendor moved on; the other is a newsroom that stays a newsroom.
Under the hood: it discovers stories in your niche, writes them in your voice, fact-checks against sources, illustrates, and publishes to your CMS, on your schedule.
