Content autopilots & scheduling

What Content autopilots do

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

Each run, the bot picks a task, generates content, attaches an image, and publishes — all automatically. Ideal for maintaining a steady stream of fresh content across multiple websites or social channels without daily manual effort. Powering a bot with one of your own chatbots turns every scheduled article into on-brand content that already sounds like your team wrote it.

Creating a bot

Navigate to Create → Content autopilots and click Add bot.

Basic settings

• Status — Active bots run on schedule; Inactive bots are saved but paused, handy for testing configuration before going live.
• Platform type — WordPress (self-hosted), WordPress.com, Blogger, Facebook, X, Telegram, Pinterest, LinkedIn, TikTok, or File draft (generates a DOCX without publishing — useful for review queues).
• AI model — OpenAI, Google Gemini, Anthropic Claude, DeepSeek, xAI Grok, Mistral AI, or Perplexity Sonar — or pick one of your own chatbots as the writer for content that already knows your brand.

Timing and frequency

Set frequency with quick presets (Once per day, 2× per day, 3× per day) or click More to reveal the full slider — from 1 run per day (every 24 hours) up to 720 runs per day (every 2 minutes). Options above the current plan's limit appear struck through. See Plans & usage limits for per-plan frequencies.

Name and notes (optional)

Give each bot a descriptive name (e.g., "Daily tech blog posts" or "Morning social updates") and add internal notes. Both are private and help keep multiple bots organized.

Tasks

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:

1. Publishing destination — Pick the specific site, blog, or channel within the chosen platform type (e.g., which connected WordPress site and which category).
2. Prompts — Type a brief topic or detailed instructions in the textarea (whatever you write is the spec for the article). Optionally load a saved prompt from the Prompts Library. Add multiple prompt variations per task and the bot picks one at random per run — a simple way to keep content varied across publishes.
3. Link template (optional) — Assign a saved link set and each run inserts the best-matching link from the set — one whose anchor text appears in the generated article — spreading the set's links evenly across publishes. See Link templates.
4. Image source (optional) — Three choices per task:
   • Stock — Keywords the bot uses to search Pexels, Pixabay, or Unsplash for a stock image. Pick the vendor and orientation per task.
   • AI generated — Image prompts (or a saved image-prompt template) the bot uses to generate a fresh image for each article. You can also have the bot draw on each article's own topic, mixed in with your prompts so images stay fresh and on-subject. Pick style and orientation per task.
   • None — Skip the featured image. Useful for plain-text social posts or file drafts.

Multiple tasks per bot

A single bot can run many tasks, each targeting a different site or channel within the same platform type. For example, a WordPress bot could have three tasks — one per blog — each with different prompts and categories. When the bot runs, it picks one task at random; over time, all tasks receive roughly equal attention.

Content draft bots produce text only — featured image settings don't apply to those drafts.

Bulk editing across tasks

When a bot has two or more tasks, the bulk editing panel applies one set of settings to every task at once — content settings (language, length, tone), authority references, image source and its settings, watermark, prompt and link templates, max tokens, and more. The settings you choose in the panel become the new values on every task, so updating many tasks at the same time takes a single click. A confirmation dialog appears before changes are applied. Switching the image source shows an extra warning because it replaces each task's image prompts or stock topics.

Managing bots

The bot list (Create → Content autopilots) shows each bot's name, status, platform, task count, and frequency. Per-bot actions: edit, clone (duplicates all settings and tasks), toggle active/inactive without deleting, or delete permanently.

Every published article appears in the articles list alongside manually created articles, with full content and cost details.

Usage

Content autopilot usage is measured by concurrent active tasks, not daily runs. The plan's allowance can be distributed freely across bots — five tasks on one bot, five bots with one task each, or any mix. See Plans & usage limits for per-plan allowances.
