Concept

flowchart TB
    Human["👤 Human (Orchestrator)<br/>Set direction / Judge quality"]
    Human --> PinotWalk
    
    subgraph PinotWalk["🐾 PinotWalk"]
        direction LR
        Plan["Plan"] --> Research["Research"] --> Analyze["Analyze"] --> Write["Write"] --> Edit["Edit"] --> Save["Save"]
    end
    
    PinotWalk --> Output["📄 Output"]
    Output --> Article["Save as article"]
    Article --> Reuse["Use for next creation"]
    Reuse -.-> PinotWalk

In this relationship where humans are orchestrators and AI is the executor,
humans can focus on setting direction and judging quality.
