Does an AI SEO agent really run a whole blog?

Sure thing. At ACME.BOT, we basically follow a single loop of research, planning, writing, illustration, and publishing. That said, our founder does approve all outlines and final drafts before publishing.

Does Google penalize AI content?

Not really -- Google's 2024 spam update targets thin, scaled content not AI tools. As long as a post is researched and reviewed by a human, it's still okay to rank. It's not the model, it's lazy writing.

How do you keep AI blog posts from sounding generic?

In terms of drafts - a person sets the angle and reviews every single one, while ACME.BOT writes what we tell it to; the founder cuts the weak sections and adds the opinion. Anything that reads like it could be about any company doesn't get published.

Can I review posts before they publish?

Yes. Once you review the outline, you'll be asked to approve the article after reading the draft if human-in-the-loop mode is enabled. At any time, you can toggle Autopilot on or off.

Why run an AI SEO agent from Telegram?

Sometimes approval happens while you are busy with other work, or on a phone. Founder sees and approves outlines and drafts in a chat thread, without having to log into a dashboard to evaluate work.

Can I give the agent my own take on something?

Yup. You send a link or screenshot + one-liner opinion on it. And ACME.BOT drafts a post from that angle, in your voice, with sources.

What's an AI SEO agent vs an AI writer?

If you prompt it to write content, an agent has its own tools, memory, and planner. In essence, an agent does calendar-wide tasks such as going through its research, rescheduling, and refreshing, whereas a writer writes one piece of content at a time.

Founder, ACME.BOT · former Google search engineer

I wrote search systems before ACME.BOT. When I thought of starting up a blog, I could just hired a content mill to write things. Instead, I chose to run it with an agent of our own -- from my phone.

Here's what's been up to this point. We're certainly still in the early days (and so far haven't seen any traffic data to showcase), and I just have a process I follow. At a minimum, every post has to clear this bar to get published: would I have enjoyed reading this?
