Why this exists
Most VC content is either polished-but-late (a quarterly memo) or fast-but-shallow (a tweet thread). Content Farm asks: what would it look like to produce one substantive, defensible piece per week — with citations, with a point of view, with the same intellectual standards we'd apply to a deal memo?
The bet is that agentic tooling collapses the parts that are tedious (transcript wrangling, citation formatting, draft scaffolding) so a single principal can ship at a frequency that previously required a small editorial team.
What we're building
Research-to-outline loop — agentic synthesis of long-form research into a navigable outline that a human edits before any prose is generated.
Cite-aware drafting — every generated sentence is tagged to its source; broken or weak citations fail the draft at build time.
Editorial styleguide as code — house style rules expressed as lintable rules, not PDF style guides.
Publish surface integration — clean handoff into the site's content collections (no copy-paste).
Working group expectations
Show up for some bi-weekly check-ins. Attempt to use various tools, including homegrown projects. Bring your drafts, show your output, share your wins and struggles.
Develop original content that makes you proud, and share frustrations and shortcomings.
Maintain high expectations for quality and rigor, as you would a professional analyst or visible thought leader.
A bonus if you are willing to publish content as a guest on relevant sites.
Current focus
Obsidian plugins for research-to-outline and cite-aware drafting.
Currently have working prototypes:
Perplexed: a research-to-outline-to-draft tool: uses Perplexity API. or Perplexical on local machine to use an outline, do research, and make initial drafts.
Cite-Wide: citation-aware editing and validation: uses parsers to extract citations from drafts, instantly renumber, and manage unique citations across many files.
