The problem it solves

Keeping a content calendar full of timely, SEO-friendly blog posts takes constant research and writing time you don't have. By the time you notice a trending topic and write about it, the moment has often passed. Finding a matching image for every post adds another task to the list.

Who it fits

Content marketers, agencies, or developers who want a steady pipeline of blog content.

How it works

  1. Identifies a trending topic from the last day or two
  2. Saves the topic to a spreadsheet for tracking
  3. Writes a full blog post with title, sections, keywords, and meta description
  4. Saves the post as a draft in WordPress
  5. Generates a featured image and attaches it to the draft
What you get

Blog drafts waiting in WordPress for approval

You get a fresh blog post drafted around a trending topic, complete with a featured image, saved in WordPress ready for you to publish.

What you get

A WordPress draft post, complete with SEO content and a featured image, ready for your review.

What you need

A WordPress account, a Google Sheets account, a Perplexity AI account, and a Hugging Face API key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
