Summary

A writing assistant for the Exponential administration interface: a conversation panel on the content full view and controls in the content edit form. It writes drafts only, as the logged-in editor and with the editor's permissions, labels them "Exponential Intelligence" and leaves publishing (with approval where the site requires it) to the editor.
