Agent Templates

Specialist agent templates are pre-built automation engines with constrained tool access, dedup logic, and per-run budgets. Each template maps to a proven SEO workflow.

Not the Article Agent: These templates are autonomous workers that operate Sight AI on your behalf. The Article Agent is the 8-role writing pipeline (Research, Writer, SEO, etc.) that template agents call into when dispatching articles.

​

Search Opportunity Agent

Template key: article_creation What it does: Finds the highest-scoring Search Content Gap opportunities — queries with impressions where you have no matching article yet — checks for duplicates, and dispatches articles through the Article Agent. Behavior:

• Picks opportunities above a configurable score threshold
• Calls duplicate checks before every dispatch
• Uses the suggested article type (listicle, how-to, explainer)
• Records a per-run summary for auditing

Use it for: Automatically clearing your Content Gap backlog.

AI Opportunity Agent

Template key: ai_prompt What it does: Finds pending AI Visibility prompt opportunities — queries where LLMs answer but your brand isn’t mentioned — and dispatches articles shaped for LLM citations (clear definitions, sourced lists, structured comparisons). Behavior:

• Same dedup + dispatch flow as Search Opportunity Agent, but for AI-side opportunities
• Uses a higher score threshold by default (AI opportunities need stronger signals)

Use it for: Automatically improving your AI mention rate.

Article Boost Agent

Template key: article_boost What it does: Refreshes pages that are gaining traction or underperforming. For each rising/refresh opportunity, it picks one of three approaches:

1. Freshness pass — bump dates, regenerate intro and meta if the article already covers the query well
2. Targeted section addition — insert one new section that answers the query (default)
3. Full refresh — replace the body wholesale (only when explicitly enabled and the article is stale)

After refreshing, it republishes to your CMS. It never creates new articles. Use it for: Capitalizing on Rising Pages and Refresh opportunities automatically.

​

Interlinking Agent

Template key: interlinking What it does: Reads suggested internal-link opportunities (from the Interlinks tab in Search Opportunities) and inserts well-placed anchors into source articles. Behavior:

• Pulls the source article body
• Finds where the suggested anchor text fits most naturally
• Prefers paragraphs already discussing related concepts; never forces links into the intro
• Skips rows with no natural fit (logged with explanation)

Use it for: Building internal-link equity to underperforming articles after a content burst.

​

Site Performance Agent

Template key: site_performance What it does: Runs Lighthouse against your highest-traffic pages and writes a prioritized report of fixes. Behavior:

• Audits Performance, Accessibility, Best Practices, and SEO
• Flags missing JSON-LD on AI-generated articles
• Files a single report ranked by impact
• Sends a one-paragraph TL;DR in notifications

Use it for: Keeping technical SEO healthy without manual Lighthouse checks.

​

Outreach Agent

Template key: outreach Plan requirement: Advanced only What it does: Turns link-building into an autonomous loop — finds outreach opportunities, looks up author emails, drafts personalized pitches, sends from your verified outbound domain, and triages replies in the Outreach Inbox. Two pitch shapes (configurable via instructions):

• Backlink pitches — high-DR articles mentioning competitors but not you
• Listicle pitches — roundup articles (Top 10 X tools). Pitch to be added to the list

Reply loop: Messages hitting your forward bucket appear in the Inbox. The agent triages and replies to real pitches automatically; auto-replies and direct inbound from external senders stay for you (with Have the agent take this over when you want it back on). Use it for: Turning your outreach backlog into real conversations without manual lift.

Customizing a template

When creating or editing a template automation, you can adjust:

• Instructions — append guidance (e.g. “Only act on opportunities with score above 70” or “Skip competitor comparison topics”)
• Schedule — any preset or manual-only
• End date — auto-disable after a campaign ends
• Notifications — email recipients + Slack channel

Action budgets are set by the template engine defaults. Contact support if you need higher per-run limits for a specific use case.
