CRAFT is now TAP: How We Continue to Spearhead the #StraightOuttaAI Promise

It all started with a dream: to scale top-quality, rank-worthy content completely through AI.

Our founder built a world-class product and team to see it through, and didn’t give up — and today, I’m firsthand seeing our product deliver on the promise so well, that my C.R.A.F.T. framework is now fully automated by AI.

The StraightOuttaAI dream is here.

It’s here.

We’re living it — seeing it — firsthand.

And I’m delighted to share from my quite snobby, opinionated, expert, hard-to-please, weathered writer perspective – that StraightOuttaAI is officially automating the entire process of generating a high-quality blog so good, it does in fact rival the best human writer.

All through its own well-built, heavily refined automation.

The dream has become reality. More on that story, below.

The Rank Well, Straight Outta AI Story

At the beginning of all of this, we focused on bringing to market a true 10x solution through automation.

Our goal was to automate the hardest type of content – original, long-form, well-researched, high-ranking content – fully by AI.

This goal is the very opposite of what many AI founders are all about.

Lots of them are just trying to launch a shiny AI toy.

Not Justin McGill.

He set out to solve the pain point of millions of SEO and content marketers, through automation.

An expert marketer and growth hacker, Justin put his own time and cash into the first iteration.

Like most founding stories, it all started with failure. When the first version of BrandWell came out, it was a disaster — the AI broke, it didn’t write articles the way it should, and customers demanded refunds.

Thankfully, he didn’t give up. And one day, it all came together.

In September of 2022, BrandWell (formerly Content at Scale) was one of the first in the world to offer a free AI content detector – now used by millions of people.

And to back that up, BrandWell wrote undetectable content.

In minutes, the output was golden:

• Written just like a human content writer – research any topic, cite authority sources, and write a damn good article for a keyword
• 100% original, useful content was created
• Everything was formatted precisely and perfectly

Experts, bloggers, marketers, and writers noticed this breakthrough invention – because Justin was the first to actually launch “undetectable content.”

And I shocked my following on January 16, 2023, when I told everyone I’d switched up my career entirely; and I left human writing completely to join BrandWell and help take it to the moon. I saw everything it could be, and everything it was, and knew THIS was the AI platform I wanted to bank on. 

Now, I speak on stage about it.

I was one of the first ten employees – along with Jeff Joyce, Kamran, and a few other OGs. Next came superstars Simon, Ben, and the son of the founder.

In our first year, 3,000 users joined our platform. 

Today, we help them generate over 50 MILLION words of undetectable original content per month.

And now, our Herculean goal is truly coming to life with the internal automation of CRAFT, now done by BrandWell. 🤯

What We’re Seeing Today – Straight Outta AI

What used to take a human writer to accomplish in 7 hours is now down to 5 or 10 minutes — with one long-tail keyword as the only human input, and a quick glance (TAP) on the output. (More to come on TAP.)

RankWell is now more than just an AI writer, with an in-app keyword research tool and a comprehensive SEO suite designed to take your content marketing to the next level.

Just type in an idea of what you want to rank for and AI will generate a list of relevant keywords complete with search volume, ranking difficulty, CPC, and trends – just like your favorite keyword tool.

And before you publish, you can go through the AI draft and make edits if necessary, with the guidance of an SEO suite right beside the text editor.

Check out this blog straight out of AI that we generated after the Deep Research update that is changing the game for our StraightOuttaAI promise. The content is so good. The add-on involved in the WordPress site builder backdoor scandal was spelled correctly; and the actual apology from the correct developer was found, added, and cited with a link; without ANY human editing!

Unbelievable.

Here’s another article I “TAP”-ped; did 5 minutes of optimization. (More on TAP, the new human framework replacing CRAFT, below. 😉)

This is amazing to see.

Back in January 2023 when I joined Content at Scale (now BrandWell), one of my first contributions was to develop a framework to help writers adapt to AI.

With everyone worried that AI might steal their jobs, Justin and I came up with the idea of AIO – artificial intelligence optimization, which defines the human’s role in AI content creation.

Goodbye SEO writing, hello AIO writing.

Fleshing out the steps in that role, I built CRAFT so writers had a simple guide to follow.

Complete with individual guides and video tutorials, CRAFT helped marketers, publishers, and agency owners train their writers to properly optimize AI content — resulting in blog posts ranking for hundreds of keywords and drawing in massive traffic.

This entire process often took an hour or two, which already cut a huge chunk of content creation time.

But, Justin told me something.

What if one day BrandWell automated EVERY step in CRAFT?

The thought was almost preposterous, but as I saw what we were capable of, I began to believe in that vision.

And now, I can honestly say after running 15+ keywords and seeing dozens of posts for myself, the output is there.

We are automating CRAFT.

Today, CRAFT switches to TAP, thanks to Deep Research.

Our advanced Deep Research feature inside BrandWell takes our long-form SEO AI output to another level entirely.

This is what you can expect from RankWell –

✔️ The deepest-researched content you’ve ever seen

✔️ 100% original + Google-friendly useful article content that’s unique to the topic

✔️ Publish and instantly rival (or surpass) the best human SEO content writers

✔️ Done-for-you: breaking news cited and included for a topic (where relevant)

✔️ Done-for-you: embedded social content – live tweets, posts (where relevant)

✔️ No fluff, little to no hallucinations.

Check out that post I referenced earlier again to see what a RankWell post automating CRAFT looks like StraightOuttaAI:

Look at the sentence structure of another post StraightOuttaAI.

There is NO FLUFF.

It jumps from phrase to phrase – with flow, intention, and cohesiveness.

And the sources are just… chef’s kiss.

This is the ultimate SEO content dream fulfilled – to publish content StraightOuttaAI, without any human editing.

Just T.A.P. and Go.

When it comes to results… RankWell speaks for itself.

You don’t need perfect content to rank. You need to get your posts out, hit a minimum bar of quality, which we do now easily StraightOuttaAI, then look for the winners – and go back and make them better.
