How Wren Suggests Post Ideas

How Wren generates post ideas from your profile, audience, recent posts, and signals — and how to review, prioritize, and dismiss them in your idea bank.

About once a week, Wren generates a small batch of post ideas you're uniquely positioned to write — usually around three at a time. Each suggestion is framed as a question your audience would want your take on — not a generic prompt anyone could answer. You'll find them on the Ideas page, your idea bank, marked as AI-suggested.

Where ideas come from

Wren draws on what it knows about you to shape every suggestion:

  • Your profile (About Me) — your role, domain, and the patterns you've worked through. This is the lens for every idea — and it's required: if your About Me is empty, Wren skips idea generation entirely, so fill it in to start getting suggestions.
  • Your audience — who you write for and what they find valuable, so suggestions are worth their attention.
  • Your recent posts and existing ideas — to avoid repeating angles you've already covered.
  • Your signals — timely Trends plus your reading (saved articles and Readwise content). These power suggestions that riff on what's happening right now.

That mix gives you two kinds of ideas: evergreen questions in your territory, and timely ones tied to a current signal.

Reviewing suggestions

  1. Open the Ideas page from the sidebar.
  2. Click any idea to open its panel. The Details tab shows starting angles, why you're the right person to answer it, and why your audience cares.
  3. Use the Refine tab — a live chat with Wren — to develop the idea further before you write.

Shortlisting the ones you like

A few simple actions help you curate your bank:

  • My Priority (1–10) to rank ideas in your own order.
  • Change Status (new, reviewed, dismissed, written) to track where each idea stands. Mark the ones worth keeping as Reviewed.

Click a column header to sort, or use filters to narrow by status or priority. Save a view if you want to return to the same setup.

Dismissing suggestions

If an idea isn't for you:

  • Set its Status to Dismissed to move it aside while keeping a record.
  • Or select one or more ideas and use Delete to remove them permanently.

Dismissed ideas are set aside and won't resurface, which keeps your bank focused on what you care about. (Dismissing doesn't retrain Wren — it just clears the clutter.)
