# Agent Templates

> Reference for Sight AI's specialist automation templates — what each agent does, default settings, and when to use it.

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](/ai-content/ai-agents) 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

| Default       | Value                                                                                                                     |
| ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Schedule      | Every 24 hours                                                                                                            |
| Action budget | 2 articles per run                                                                                                        |
| Requires      | [Google Search Console](/integrations/google-search-console), [Search Opportunities](/ai-visibility/search-opportunities) |

**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)

| Default       | Value                                                              |
| ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Schedule      | Every 24 hours                                                     |
| Action budget | 2 articles per run                                                 |
| Requires      | [Content Opportunities (AI)](/ai-visibility/content-opportunities) |

**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.**

| Default       | Value                                                                                                                 |
| ------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Schedule      | Every 24 hours                                                                                                        |
| Action budget | 3 boosts per run                                                                                                      |
| Requires      | [Google Search Console](/integrations/google-search-console), existing Sight AI articles, connected CMS for republish |

**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)

| Default       | Value                                                                    |
| ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Schedule      | Every 24 hours                                                           |
| Action budget | 5 anchors per run                                                        |
| Requires      | [Search Opportunities → Interlinks](/ai-visibility/search-opportunities) |

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

<Tip>
  Run Interlinking **after** the Search Opportunity Agent has published several new articles — you'll have more source pages to link from.
</Tip>

***

## 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

| Default       | Value                  |
| ------------- | ---------------------- |
| Schedule      | Weekly                 |
| Action budget | 1 audit report per run |

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

***

## Outreach Agent (configured in the Inbox)

**The Outreach Agent is not a template automation.** It runs as a single always-on agent per site that you turn on and configure from **[Inbox](/ai-visibility/outreach-inbox) → Settings** — its sending domain, inbox setup, context/guidance, voice, sender name, and daily send volume all live there. It sends on a fixed **Mon–Fri 9 AM ET** schedule, so there's no cron to set and nothing to wire up on the Automations page.

Set it up with the [Outreach Inbox](/ai-visibility/outreach-inbox) and [Outreach Email Setup](/ai-visibility/outreach-reply-tracking) guides. Author-email lookup and the opportunity queue it works from are covered in [Outreach Opportunities](/ai-visibility/outreach-opportunities).

***

## 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.

## Best practices by template

| Template           | Recommendation                                                                    |
| ------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Search Opportunity | Start here. Review activity logs for one week before adding more agents.          |
| AI Opportunity     | Enable once you have 20+ AI Prompt opportunities and Search agent is stable.      |
| Article Boost      | Pair with Search Opportunity — Boost refreshes existing pages; Search fills gaps. |
| Interlinking       | Enable after publishing 5+ articles in a burst.                                   |
| Site Performance   | Weekly is usually enough; increase only for launch periods.                       |
