About Paragraph
Paragraph began as a newsletter and blogging platform, known for crypto-native features after taking over Mirror's community, and has since repositioned around an AI agent for startups. The agent turns product launches and changelog entries into articles, newsletters and posts for X and LinkedIn, and nothing goes out until you approve it. Underneath, it still provides a hosted blog and newsletter on every plan, analytics, and developer tools including a REST API, a CLI and an MCP server. The free plan keeps a hosted site and newsletter with a monthly email allowance; paid plans add custom domains, a full website, search indexing, more sends and more agent campaigns, and are priced well above typical newsletter tools. Writers who just want to publish essays may find the AI marketing focus beside the point. It runs in the browser. It suits founders who want launch announcements written and distributed with less effort.
Best for: Startup founders who want AI-drafted launch posts and a newsletter in one place.
