The problem

Content creation is scattered.

Creators and brands collect ideas in one place, save research somewhere else, generate AI drafts in another tool, schedule posts separately, and check analytics in different dashboards. The result is disconnected content, repeated ideas, weak learning, and generic AI output.

Sources are scattered

Research lives in bookmarks, Notion pages, and open tabs. There is no single place to turn sources into ideas.

AI has no memory

Generic AI tools write in a generic voice. Every session starts from zero with no knowledge of your style or audience.

Every platform needs manual rewriting

One idea requires five rewrites for five platforms. The process kills momentum and depth.

Scheduling is disconnected

Content is created in one tool, scheduled in another, and tracked in a third. The workflow is fragmented.

Analytics don't improve the next post

You see numbers but the insight never travels back to creation. Performance data doesn't change how you write.

Cernaro connects everything.

One system that turns trusted sources into ranked Content Opportunities, keeps your voice with the Knowledge Base, and makes the next run sharper from performance data.

How Cernaro works

Trusted sources in. Ranked opportunities out. A clear path to published.

Source Hub creates Content Opportunities — never posts directly. Persona fit is ranked before Knowledge Base rules are applied.

Source Hub

Turn any source into Content Opportunities.

Save monitored sources in your Source Library or run a Quick Import. Cernaro detects RSS feeds (or falls back to a web monitor), extracts articles and transcripts, and ranks every find against your selected persona — turning the strongest into Content Opportunities.

Suggested Platforms & Format

Knowledge Base Rules

Applied after the persona is chosen: question hook, no corporate jargon, end with a specific CTA.

Knowledge Base

Your voice, enforced on every draft.

The Knowledge Base is Cernaro's quality control. Store your voice rules, hooks, templates, examples, and bad phrases — then target them to the right personas and platforms so every generated draft holds your standard.

Voice rules, hooks, templates, examples & bad phrases in one place

Apply a rule to all personas or only selected ones

Target specific platforms, or keep rules global

Toggle each item active or inactive in generation

Persona fit is selected first. These Knowledge Base rules apply after that persona is chosen.

Hook Option

Most teams still use 6 different tools to create one piece of content. They research in one place, draft in another, schedule in a third, and check analytics in a fourth. The result: generic AI output, missed insights, and content that doesn't sound like them. Cernaro fixes this. One system. Your voice. Every platform. Here's how the Source Engine works...

Analytics & Learning Loop

Learn what works, then make the next post sharper.

Cernaro doesn't just show you numbers — it closes the loop. Performance data travels back into the Knowledge Base, making every future draft smarter than the last.

Source & content performance

See which sources, platforms, formats, and hook types drive engagement — and which personas they fit best.

Persona learning

Cernaro learns what resonates per persona and sharpens how future finds are ranked for fit.

Feeds the next run

Recommendations flow back into new Content Opportunities and your Knowledge Base rules.

Who it's for

Built for people who create with intention.

From solo founders to marketing teams — Cernaro is how serious content creators scale quality without scaling effort.

For content strategists

A weekly source run hands you ranked Content Opportunities before you've had coffee. Pick one, refine it in Post Studio, and it's scheduled by lunch.

For founders & writers

Persona-fit ranking means you're not drafting things your audience won't care about. The Knowledge Base keeps every post sounding like you — not a template.

For marketing teams

Run sources, turn the best finds into opportunities, and ship platform versions from one calendar — more output without losing the voice.
