Overview

The content creator that never sleeps. A sophisticated AI system that transforms your website into a self-sustaining content powerhouse.

Workflow Diagram

How it Works

The agent wakes up every 4 hours, scans your existing content history, and algorithmically generates a unique topic intersection (e.g., "Future of Edge Computing in 2025"). It validates this against your database to guarantee originality. Once validated, it prompts Gemini 2.5 Flash to author a 2500-word article with specific SEO requirements. The output is formatted into clean HTML and pushed directly to your website's database, with the final status logged in Google Sheets.

Replaces

Entire Content Team: Content Strategist (ideation), Copywriter (drafting), SEO Specialist (optimization), and Web Producer (publishing).

Total Savings

90% Cost Reduction. Replacing ~180 manual articles/month (approx. market value $18,000) with a system costing ~$5-85/month in API fees.

Real Advantage

Consistency at Scale. Humans fatigue; this agent delivers professional, SEO-ready content on a strict schedule, building domain authority while you sleep.
