Content autopilots & scheduling

What are Content autopilots?

Content autopilots are your automated content operation. Instead of creating articles one at a time, configure a bot with your topics, publishing targets, and schedule — and it handles everything from creation to publishing, hands-free.

Each time a bot runs, it picks a task, generates content, attaches an image, and publishes — all automatically. This is ideal for maintaining a steady stream of fresh content across multiple websites or social channels without daily manual effort. Power bots with your own chatbots for on-brand content that sounds like it came from your team.

Creating a bot

To create a new bot, navigate to Create → Content autopilots and click the Add bot button. The bot creation interface is divided into several sections:

Bot settings

Start by configuring the basic bot properties:

• Status — Set the bot to Active or Inactive. Inactive bots are saved but do not run on schedule. This is useful for testing your configuration before going live.
• Platform type — Choose where the bot will publish. Supported platforms include:
  • WordPress (self-hosted)
  • Blogger
  • WordPress.com
  • Tumblr
  • Facebook
  • Twitter/X
  • Telegram
• AI model — Select which AI will generate the content. Choose from OpenAI, Gemini, Claude, DeepSeek, Grok — or select one of your own chatbots as the writer for content that already knows your brand.

Timing and frequency

Control how often your bot runs using the frequency slider:

• Minimum: 1 run per day (every 24 hours)
• Maximum: 720 runs per day (every 2 minutes)

The slider shows the equivalent time interval between runs for each setting (e.g., "Every 4 hours" or "Every 30 minutes"). Options that exceed your subscription plan's limit are shown with a strikethrough, so you can clearly see what is available on your current plan.

Optional: Bot name and notes

Give your bot a descriptive name (e.g., "Daily tech blog posts" or "Morning social media updates") and add internal notes for your own reference. These are not shown publicly — they help you organize and identify bots when you have several running.

Task configuration

Each bot contains one or more tasks. A task defines what the bot creates and where it publishes. Every time the bot runs, it picks one task at random and executes it.

For each task, you configure:

1. Publishing destination
   Select the specific site, blog, or channel where this task will publish. For example, if the bot's platform type is WordPress, you choose which connected WordPress site and which category to post in.
2. Prompts
   Configure the AI prompts for this task. You can use either:
   • Just a topic — Enter a simple topic and configure attributes (language, tone, length, etc.), just like when creating a manual article.
   • Custom prompt — Write a full custom prompt. You can also load prompts from your prompts library.
   Multiple prompt variations — You can add multiple different prompts to a single task. Each time the bot runs this task, it randomly selects one of the prompt variations. This keeps the generated content diverse and prevents repetitive output.
3. Link templates (optional)
   Select a link template to insert links into the generated content. Link templates are configured in the bot's Settings tab (see below).
4. Image search terms (optional)
   Enter keywords the bot should use to search for relevant stock images. The bot will automatically find and attach an image to each published article.
5. AI advanced settings (optional)
   Fine-tune the AI's behavior for this task:
   • Temperature — Controls randomness and creativity (0 = focused, 2 = very creative)
   • Top P — Controls diversity of word choices (lower = more focused)
   • Max tokens — Maximum length of the generated content

Adding multiple tasks

A single bot can have multiple tasks. Each task can target a different site or channel within the same platform type. For example, a WordPress bot could have three tasks: one for your tech blog, one for your travel blog, and one for your recipe site — each with different prompts and categories.

When the bot runs, it selects one task at random, generates content for that task, and publishes it. Over time, all tasks receive roughly equal attention.

Bulk editing

When a bot has two or more tasks, the bulk editing panel becomes available. It lets you apply changes to all tasks at once instead of editing them one by one. Available operations:

• Overwrite all prompts — Replace the prompt text in every task with a new value
• Assign prompt template — Switch all tasks to use the same prompt template from your library
• Assign links template — Switch all tasks to use the same links template
• Switch prompt mode — Toggle all tasks between topic mode and custom prompt mode
• Clear prompt templates — Revert all tasks back to custom prompts
• Clear links templates — Revert all tasks back to inline links
• Content settings — Update language, content type, length, tone, and other writing attributes across all tasks
• Switch image source — Change all tasks to use stock photos, AI-generated images, or no images, with style and vendor options
• Image watermark — Enable or disable watermark on all tasks that have images configured
• Prompt max tokens — Set the maximum response length for the AI model across all tasks

A confirmation dialog appears before any bulk operation is applied. Changes are not saved until you click the save button.

Managing your bots

The bot management page (Create → Content autopilots) displays all your bots in a card layout. Each card shows the bot's name, status, platform, task count, and frequency. Available actions for each bot include:

• Edit — Open the bot configuration to modify settings, tasks, or prompts
• Clone — Create an exact copy of the bot with all its settings and tasks. This is useful when you want to create a similar bot with minor changes.
• Toggle active/inactive — Quickly enable or disable a bot without deleting it
• Delete — Permanently remove the bot and all its tasks

Understanding bot execution

Here is what happens each time a bot runs:

1. Task selection — The bot randomly picks one of its configured tasks.
2. Content generation — The AI model generates content based on the selected task's prompt (randomly chosen if there are multiple prompt variations).
3. Link insertion — If a link template is configured, links are inserted into the content.
4. Image search — If image search terms are configured, the bot searches for a relevant stock image and attaches it.
5. Publishing — The completed article is published to the task's destination platform.
6. Logging — The entire operation is logged in your usage history, including AI costs and the published article.

You can view all bot-published articles in your articles list, where they appear alongside manually created articles.

Link templates

Link templates allow you to define reusable sets of links that get automatically inserted into bot-generated content. You manage link templates in the bot's Settings tab.

Each link template contains one or more links, and each link has:

• URL — The destination URL
• Anchor text — The clickable text displayed in the article

You can drag and drop links within a template to reorder them. When a task uses a link template, the bot weaves those links naturally into the generated content.

Usage limits

Content autopilot usage is measured by concurrent active tasks, not daily runs. This means the limit is on how many task slots can be active across all your bots at the same time, not how many times they execute per day.

The number of concurrent active tasks varies by subscription plan. Check the plans & usage limits page to see your plan's allowance.

Tips and best practices

• Test with inactive first — Create your bot in inactive mode, review all settings and prompts carefully, then activate it when you are confident everything is correct. This prevents publishing unintended content.
• Use diverse prompts — Add multiple prompt variations to each task. This ensures the bot creates varied content over time instead of producing similar articles repeatedly.
• Monitor results — Regularly check the articles list to review what your bots have published. Adjust prompts or settings based on the quality of output.
• Start with lower frequency — Begin with 1–3 runs per day and increase once you are happy with the content quality. Publishing too frequently with poor prompts can lead to low-quality content on your sites.
• Organize with names and notes — Give each bot a clear, descriptive name and use the notes field to document its purpose. This is essential when managing multiple bots.
• Use link templates for SEO — Create link templates that include your important internal pages or affiliate links. The bot will naturally insert them into every article it publishes.
• Combine with manual articles — Bots work best alongside manual content creation. Use bots for regular, routine content and manually create high-value pillar articles or special posts.
• Use a chatbot as the writer — Select one of your own chatbots as the AI source for a bot. The chatbot already knows your business data and tone, so every article it publishes is on-brand — automatically, every time.
