Automattic Launches AI Writing Tool
Automattic, the owner of WordPress.com, has introduced “Write Brief with AI,” an AI tool designed to make WordPress blog posts more readable and concise.
The tool, available in beta as part of the Jetpack suite, helps users by suggesting simpler language, improving readability, and providing feedback on sentence complexity and confidence.
However, premier advertisers like Raptive & Mediavine have taken a stance against AI-enabled creators, so this new feature likely isn’t met with open arms.

View this post on Instagram
Instagram is shifting to “views” as the primary metric for measuring content performance across all formats, including Reels, Stories, and photos.
They’re hoping to simplify content performance tracking for creators by providing a consistent metric regardless of format.
Instagram chief Adam Mosseri emphasized that while views will be the main metric, creators should also monitor “sends per reach” to understand engagement better.
