Questions, answered

Will it publish any content on its own?

No. WebRun only researches and exports ideas. It never writes, publishes, or schedules a piece of content on its own.

How does it choose the shortlist?

It reviews the full export for the week and picks the questions and comparisons most relevant to your seed keywords, noting why each one looks promising.

What happens to ideas that aren't shortlisted?

They still land in the full Airtable export, so nothing is thrown away. The Notion shortlist is just what surfaces first.

Put this on autopilot.
