Autopilot¶
Autopilot automates the entire content pipeline — from keyword selection through generation, review, and publishing — on a configurable schedule.
How Autopilot works¶
- Keyword selection — Pulls from GSC opportunities, AI suggestions, or both
- Backlog creation — Creates backlog items for selected keywords
- Content generation — Triggers AI generation for each item
- Review — Applies the configured approval mode
- Publishing — Pushes approved content to the configured platform
Autopilot runs automatically on a daily schedule.
Configuration¶
Configure Autopilot per site via Sites → Autopilot Settings:
| Setting | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Articles per week | Number of articles to generate per week | 2 |
| Approval mode | How review is handled (see below) | Review |
| Target word count | Desired article length | — |
| Include YouTube | Embed relevant videos | Off |
| Include tables | Generate data tables | Off |
| Include images | Add images to articles | Off |
| Include FAQ | Generate FAQ section | On |
Approval modes¶
| Mode | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Auto | No human gate — content is automatically approved and published |
| Review | Content is generated but held for human review before publishing |
| Moderate | Content is generated and held — you must edit and approve |
Warning
Auto mode skips human review entirely. The WordPress safety guard still applies — even in auto mode, WordPress posts are created as drafts.
Quality gates¶
Autopilot supports optional quality thresholds that must be met before auto-publishing:
| Gate | Description |
|---|---|
| SEO score | Minimum content score (vs SERP brief) required |
| Fact score | Minimum fact verification confidence required |
When enabled, items that don't meet the threshold are held for human review regardless of approval mode.
Controls¶
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Toggle on/off | Enable or disable Autopilot for a site |
| Pause until date | Temporarily pause Autopilot until a specific date |
| Trigger manual run | Run the Autopilot pipeline immediately |
| Stop in-progress run | Cancel a currently running Autopilot task |
Run history¶
Each Autopilot execution is logged with:
- Run timestamp
- Number of items generated
- Status (completed, failed, cancelled)
- Items created during the run
View run history via Sites → Autopilot.
