Overview

Autopilot Agents are autonomous workers that act on your behalf. Where the rest of Sight AI surfaces opportunities for you to act on, Autopilot Agents take the next step — they read your opportunity queues, decide what to work on, and dispatch real actions (article generation, content refreshes, interlink insertions, site audits) on a schedule you control. Agents live at app.trysight.ai/agents.

Heads up: Autopilot Agents are different from the Article Agent (the 8-role writing pipeline: Research Specialist, Content Writer, etc.) that powers individual article generation. The Article Agent is the writing pipeline itself. Autopilot Agents are autonomous workers that operate that pipeline for you.

Meet the Agents

​

Search Opportunity Agent

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 hands them to the Article Agent to create new articles.

• Picks opportunities above a configurable score threshold
• Calls siteHasArticleForKeyword before every dispatch to avoid duplicates
• Uses the suggested article type (listicle, how-to, explainer)
• Records a per-run summary so you can audit what it did

Default schedule: every 24 hours Default budget: 2 articles per run Use it for: automatically clearing your Content Gap backlog

​

AI Opportunity Agent

What it does: Finds pending AI Visibility prompt opportunities — queries that LLMs answer where your brand isn’t mentioned — and dispatches articles shaped to be cited by AI answers (clear definitions, sourced lists, structured comparisons).

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

Default schedule: every 24 hours Default budget: 2 articles per run Use it for: automatically improving your AI mention rate

​

Article Boost Agent

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, when there’s a clear gap (default approach)
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 — it only improves existing ones. Default schedule: every 24 hours Default budget: 3 boosts per run Use it for: automatically capitalizing on Rising Pages and Refresh opportunities

​

Interlinking Agent

What it does: Reads suggested internal-link opportunities (from the Interlinks tab) and inserts well-placed anchors into source articles.

• Pulls the source article body
• Decides where the suggested anchor text fits most naturally
• Prefers paragraphs already discussing related concepts; never forces the link into the intro
• Skips rows where there’s no natural fit (with a logged explanation) rather than placing a bad link

Default schedule: every 24 hours Default budget: 5 anchors per run Use it for: automatically building internal-link equity to underperforming articles

​

Site Performance Agent

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

• Audits Performance, Accessibility, Best Practices, and SEO
• Flags missing JSON-LD on AI-generated articles
• Files a single report ranked by impact, not a flood of individual issues
• Notifies you with a one-paragraph TL;DR

Default schedule: weekly Use it for: keeping technical SEO healthy without having to remember to check

​

Outreach Agent

What it does: Turns the manual link-building grind into an autonomous loop. It finds outreach opportunities, looks up author and editor emails, drafts personalized pitches in your voice, sends them from your verified outbound domain, and triages replies in a dedicated Inbox. The same agent handles two pitch shapes via capability toggles:

• Backlink pitches — high-DR articles that mention competitors but not you. Pitch a mention or link.
• Listicle pitches — existing roundup articles (Top 10 X tools, Best Y of 2026). Pitch to be added to the list.

Beyond outbound, the Outreach Agent owns the full reply loop: every authenticated message that hits your forward bucket address shows up in the Inbox, and the agent triages and replies to real pitches automatically while leaving auto-replies and direct inbound from external senders for you to handle (with one-click Have the agent take this over when you do want it on). Default schedule: every 24 hours Default budget: 10 outreach actions per run Use it for: turning your Outreach Opportunities backlog into real conversations without the manual lift

​

How Agents Work

Every agent run follows the same pattern:

1. Pull a budget of high-scoring opportunities from the relevant queue
2. Dedup against existing articles, recent runs, and CMS state
3. Decide and act — call the configured tools (dispatch article, refresh article, insert anchor, etc.)
4. Record a per-run summary so you can audit every action

Each agent has a constrained tool surface — for example, the Interlinking Agent can read articles and insert anchors but cannot create new articles, by design.

​

Configuring an Agent

Open the Agents page, click into any agent card, and you’ll find:

• Status toggle — on/off
• Schedule — how often the agent runs (in hours)
• Score threshold — minimum opportunity score the agent will act on
• Action budget — maximum actions per run
• Tool-call budget — maximum total tool calls per run (a safety net)
• Model — which LLM the agent uses (defaults to Claude Haiku for simple agents, Sonnet for reasoning-heavy agents)
• Custom settings — agent-specific knobs (e.g., allow_full_refresh for the Boost Agent)

​

Activity Log

The detail page also shows:

• Recent runs — every run with its summary, action count, and tool calls
• Tool-call drilldown — click a run to see every tool call (input, output, latency)

This is the audit trail: you can see exactly which articles each agent created, which interlinks each agent inserted, and why each agent skipped a row.

​

How They Relate to the Rest of Sight AI

You can mix manual and autonomous workflows freely — accept some opportunities yourself in the UI, let agents work through the rest.

​

Safety & Cost Controls

Agents are conservative by default:

• Action budgets cap how many real actions any single run can take
• Tool-call budgets cap total LLM calls per run, so a misbehaving agent can’t run up a bill
• Schedule throttling prevents back-to-back runs
• Site eligibility checks prevent agents from running against unlicensed or paused sites
• Per-team article caps are enforced before any dispatch — agents can never push you past your plan limit
• Trial caps are enforced for trial teams before any dispatch

​

Best Practices

• Start with one agent — turn on the Search Opportunity Agent first, give it a week, then layer in the others
• Tune the score threshold to your tolerance — a high threshold means fewer, higher-confidence actions
• Pair the Search Opportunity Agent with Article Boost — Boost refreshes existing articles; the Search Opportunity Agent fills gaps. Together they cover most of your weekly SEO work
• Use Interlinking after a content burst — once you’ve published several articles, run Interlinking to weave them together
• Review the activity log weekly at first — once you trust the agent’s pattern, you can drop to monthly

​

Next Steps

• Set up Search Opportunities so agents have a queue to work from
• Connect your CMS so refreshed and created articles can publish automatically
• Open the Outreach Inbox — read, reply to, and triage every outreach conversation in one place
• Configure forwarding — give your team a vanity address (seo@yourdomain.com) that funnels pitches into the Inbox
• Read about the Article Agent (the in-pipeline roles agents call into)
• Compare with Autopilot mode — the older time-based scheduler
