How Autopilot Works

Overview

Autopilot is Sight AI's hands-free content generation feature. Once activated, it automatically researches your business, identifies high-value keyword phrases, and generates fresh articles every day—without any manual input from you.

Think of Autopilot as your dedicated content team that works around the clock, ensuring your website always has fresh, SEO-optimized content tailored to your business.

How It Works

When you activate Autopilot, here's what happens:

Step 1: Keyword Research

Sight AI analyzes your business, website, and target audience to automatically generate a list of relevant keyword phrases. These are topics that your potential customers are searching for—perfect opportunities for content that drives traffic and conversions.

Step 2: Instant First Article

As soon as you activate Autopilot, Sight AI immediately generates your first article scheduled for today. You don't have to wait—content creation starts right away.

Step 3: Daily Content Generation

From that point forward, Autopilot works every day to:

• Select keyword phrases from your queue based on your configured rate
• Generate high-quality, SEO-optimized articles
• Schedule them for publication to your CMS
• Repeat the process the following day

This creates a consistent publishing cadence that search engines love and helps build your site's authority over time.

Configuring Articles Per Day

Autopilot lets you control how many articles are generated each day. You can configure this rate from 1 to 10 articles per day based on your content needs:

• 1 article/day – Default setting, ideal for steady, sustainable growth
• 2-3 articles/day – Great for content-hungry sites or building topical authority quickly
• 5-10 articles/day – Maximum output for aggressive content strategies

To change your articles per day rate:

1. Navigate to Site Settings → Autopilot
2. Adjust the Articles Per Day slider
3. Your changes take effect immediately

Note: When you increase the rate, Sight AI automatically expands your keyword pool to ensure you have enough topics. When you decrease the rate, any excess scheduled articles are redistributed to future dates—nothing is lost.

Activating Autopilot

1. Navigate to your Site Settings
2. Find the Autopilot section
3. Click "Activate Autopilot"
4. Your first article will begin generating immediately

Once activated, you can sit back and let Sight AI handle your content strategy. Of course, you can always review, edit, or reschedule any article before it publishes.
