Lyra is a web and API AI blog writer that moves from topic research to a reviewed pull request. It uses live search data to find topics and removes subjects already covered by published posts. Drafts are written in a blog’s voice, scored for content, SEO, technical accuracy, readability and linking, then rewritten until they meet Lyra’s standard. Posts arrive as labeled pull requests and do not publish until a user merges them. Lyra requires a git-based blog with Markdown files and frontmatter in GitHub, plus its GitHub App. Writing uses the customer’s Anthropic key, encrypted at rest and billed at cost without markup; a Google Gemini key is optional for hero banners. The free plan is free and provides three posts for one blog. Paid plans start at 39.00 USD per month, with higher tiers adding posts, seats, analytics, rank tracking, API export and simultaneous posts. Access is invite-gated.
Who it is for
Lyra is aimed at founders, operators and small teams in marketing, content, SEO, growth, developer advocacy and agencies. It suits teams comfortable managing a GitHub-based Markdown blog.
