Paragraph is now AI-native — Paragraph

Writing looks different now

Some people draft in ChatGPT. Some pair with Claude for research and editing. Some are experimenting with agents that can run a whole newsletter on their own. And increasingly, the "reader" on the other end isn't a person at all - it's an agent buying access to your work.

We've shipped a set of tools that meet writers, developers, and agents wherever they are on that spectrum.

You can now:

For writers: publish from ChatGPT or Claude

Most writers we talk to are already using an LLM somewhere in their workflow - for research, outlining, a second pair of eyes on a draft. The friction is everywhere else : switching tabs, copy-pasting into the editor, fighting formatting, scheduling.

We wanted that to go away.

Install our skill ( npx skills add paragraph-xyz/skill ) or point any MCP-compatible client at our server, and you can do pretty much anything from inside your chat:

You stay in the tool you're already writing in. Paragraph becomes the place it all lands.

Try it at paragraph.com/agents.

For developers: build on Paragraph

If you want to build on top of Paragraph — a custom reader, a different editor, an agent with its own logic — you now have everything you need.

These are the same tools we're building our own AI features on, so the surface area will keep growing as we use it ourselves.

For agents: a way to pay writers

Here's the part we're most curious about.

Agents are starting to read - and increasingly, to buy - things on the web. That's good for writers, but only if there's a clean way to get paid when it happens. Micropayments have tried and stumbled on the internet for years: older payment rails ate most of the revenue, and readers didn't want to stop and make a decision at every paywall.

Two things changed:

So we shipped two ways for writers to get paid by agents.

Micropaywalls inside your posts

Upload any digital file - a dataset, a playbook, a high-res version of your images, a prompt library - set a price and a payout wallet, and embed it in a post.

Readers can buy with a credit card or crypto. Agents can buy programmatically using x402 or MPP. You keep writing the way you always have; the sale sits inside the piece.

List your archive on publish.new

We also built a one-click workflow that packages your entire published archive as a markdown .zip, uploads it, and opens a pre-filled listing on publish.new - our AI-native marketplace where humans and agents can buy digital goods.

Title, description, suggested price, payout wallet - all filled in for you. It's the fastest way to turn your back catalog into something agents can discover and buy.

More on the marketplace itself in our earlier post.

Pick your level of autonomy

We don't think there's one right answer for how writers should use AI. Some of you will stay fully hands-on and treat the LLM as a research assistant. Some will hand off drafting, editing, or promotion. A few of you will want to run an autonomous agent that drafts, publishes, responds to replies, and reinvests revenue into growth — and then go for a walk.

All three now work on Paragraph. The same toolkit powers all of them; what changes is how much of the loop you want to keep.

We don't expect to nail this out of the gate. A lot of what we're shipping here is early, and the agent side especially is going to evolve fast. Tell us what's working and what isn't - and what you'd like us to build next - at hello@paragraph.com.
