Research Progress UI

Progress strings on the writing screen during first draft and in chat while editing.

Note: The old brief-phase research UI (phases like "Analyzing your brief", "Evaluating 15 sources", source category grids) is no longer used. Research during the first draft is automatic when enabled in the brief.

First draft checklist (chat panel)

While your first draft is generating, you may see:

  • Reading your brief
  • Researching sources
  • Drafting the article
  • Polishing for SEO

A footer line may show elapsed time, e.g. "45s elapsed · You'll see the article fill in on the right."
