Building a blog with AI Autopilot

AI Autopilot plans and writes a whole blog from one keyword. Nothing is written until you approve the plan.

Start a new site

  1. Choose Start a new site. If the site already has articles, a confirm screen shows what will be removed (articles, categories, old plans, and optionally images, pages and the site name). A restore point is saved first.
  2. Enter a seed keyword, optionally who it's for, and how many articles to plan.
  3. Planning takes one to three minutes. You'll see niche research, five name ideas, categories and a topical map.

Review the plan

  • Name and brand: pick a name or type your own. For a new site this is applied when you build.
  • Categories: untick any you don't want; their articles go too.
  • Articles: untick, rename, or move articles between categories. Pillar articles are the big guides the others link to.
  • Standard pages: About, Contact, Privacy, Terms, Affiliate disclosure, Cookie policy. They're written as drafts for you to check.
  • Publishing: Co-pilot has no schedule. Every article is written straight away, and you choose what happens to each one when it's done: publish it immediately, or put it in Pending for you to approve. Autopilot publishes on a schedule: choose how many go out straight away and how many per week after that.
  • Images: AI images, free stock photos, or none.
  • Batch writing: half price with Claude; ready within about an hour.

Click Build my blog. The build page shows each article as it's written. You can pause and resume at any time.

Grow this site

Choose Grow this site to plan more articles for the blog you have. Add a focus (for example product reviews) or leave it empty and the AI finds the gaps. It knows your categories and existing titles, so it won't repeat them, and it schedules the new articles after the ones already lined up.

Undo a plan

On a plan's page, Undo this plan removes the articles and pages it created, images only they used, and categories it created that end up empty. A restore point is saved first.

Delete a plan

At the bottom of a plan's page, Delete this plan removes the plan from AI Autopilot but keeps the articles and pages it created. To remove those too, use Undo this plan instead.

Restore points

Every Start a new site and Undo saves a restore point, kept for 30 days and listed at the bottom of the AI Autopilot page. Restore puts your articles, categories, pages, images and site name back. What you have just before is saved as a restore point too, so a restore can be undone. Delete removes a restore point you no longer need.

Tips

  • A focused seed ("keto baking for beginners") gives a better plan than a broad one ("food").
  • Start with 20 articles, review the first few, then grow.
  • Articles keep writing in the background only while an admin page is open, unless you set up cron.
