# Lyra > Lyra is an AI blog writer. She finds topics worth ranking for, writes each post in your repo's voice, fact-checks every claim and external link, scores the draft, and opens a pull request in your GitHub repo for you to review and merge. Nothing publishes without you. Bring your own Anthropic API key (encrypted at rest, never marked up). Pricing is live and self-serve: a Free plan with 3 posts and no card, then Starter ($39/mo), Growth ($149/mo), and Scale ($399/mo). Request access in the app at app.trylyra.ai and everything from there is self-serve. ## Product - [Lyra home](https://www.trylyra.ai/): What Lyra is, how the discover -> write -> fact-check -> open PR -> you merge loop works, and how to try her. - [AI blog writer (overview)](https://www.trylyra.ai/ai-blog-writer/): What an AI blog writer is, how Lyra writes, fact-checks, and opens a pull request, and how she compares to optimizers and bulk generators. - [SEO automation](https://www.trylyra.ai/seo-automation/): What SEO automation is, what to automate and what to keep human, and how Lyra automates the content half (drafts, fact-checks, opens a PR). - [Answer engine optimization tools](https://www.trylyra.ai/answer-engine-optimization/): What AEO tools do, how to choose between visibility trackers and content tools, and how Lyra writes posts built to be cited by AI. - [Compare Lyra to other AI writers](https://www.trylyra.ai/compare/): Honest head-to-head comparisons of Lyra against optimizers and bulk generators like Surfer SEO, Jasper, and Byword. - [Free AI visibility checker](https://www.trylyra.ai/tools/ai-visibility-checker/): A free AI visibility audit.
