Today we're launching Documents, a collaborative editor built directly into Orchly.
Until now, agents could generate articles, research, briefs, and reports, but turning those outputs into finished work meant copying content into another tool to edit, refine, and publish. Documents brings that entire workflow into one place.
Write from scratch, turn any agent output into an editable document, collaborate with agents directly inside the page, and publish to your CMS when you're ready.
Your research, drafts, edits, and publishing workflow now live on a single surface.
How Documents works
It is a proper document editor, the kind you already know how to use. What makes it different is that your agents work inside it, not beside it.
1. Start from a blank page.
Open a new document and write, the way you would in any good docs tool. Sometimes you just want to start typing, and now you can, with everything else in Orchly a step away.
2. Or start from an agent's draft. Any agent's output opens as a Document, not as a message you have to rescue from a chat log. The Article Writer's draft, a report, a research pull, it all lands somewhere you can actually edit it.
3. Chat with an agent inside the document.
This is the part I like most. Open a document and chat with an agent right there. Ask a research agent to pull deep research on a competitor and write it into the page. Ask any agent for another section, a tighter intro, a summary of what you have so far. The agent does the work in the document, not next to it, and you keep editing around it.
4. From document to published.
Once the piece reads right, an agent can publish it to WordPress, Webflow, Framer, Sanity, or Ghost. The document you edited becomes the post that ships, with no copy-paste handoff at the end.
How Teams Use Documents
1. Deep Competitor Research
Open a document and ask a research agent to create a detailed competitor analysis.
Pull visibility data across the prompts you track, identify which engines competitors appear on, analyze their content strategy, and uncover gaps in your own presence.
The research is written directly into the document, giving you a report you can immediately refine and share with your team.
2. Turn Drafts Into Finished Articles
When the Article Writer generates a draft, it opens as a Document.
Edit sections, expand ideas, ask an agent to improve specific paragraphs, and publish when you're ready.
You stay in control of the final content while agents help accelerate the process.
3. Build Briefs Faster
Start with a simple prompt and let an agent create the first version of a content brief, campaign plan, or research document.
Instead of staring at a blank page, you begin with a structured draft and improve it from there.
4.Keep Everything in One Place
Research, drafting, editing, collaboration, and publishing now happen in a single workflow.
Fewer tools. Fewer handoffs. Less context switching.
Where it fits with the rest of Orchly
The agents you chat with inside a document are Orchly agents, so they bring your context with them. They know your brand profile, so the writing sounds like you. They can draw on your knowledge base, your own uploaded source material and sitemap, for the facts. And a research agent writing about competitors is working from the same competitor data the rest of Orchly already tracks, not guessing from the open web.
If you have set up Skills, the draft comes back in your voice from the first line, which means less editing and more approving. Documents is the surface; Skills are the rules; your knowledge base is the context. They were built to work together.
Honest note: This is the first version of Documents, and there is more coming. But the core is here today: a real editor, your agents writing into it, and a straight path from a blank page, or a draft, to a published post.
Get started
Open Documents from the left nav. Start a blank page, or run an agent and watch its output open as one, then try chatting with an agent to write a section for you, a competitor research dive is a good first test. The manage documents guide has the details. Pair it with Skills and the very first draft already sounds like your team wrote it.
