What it does

This agent-driven pipeline takes a strategic theme, gathers supporting research and statistics from across the web, and writes a cited, long-form thought-leadership article in your voice. It posts the draft to Slack for a human to approve or send back, and only publishes once approved. It spans research, drafting, and human-in-the-loop review.

When to use it

When executive or brand thought-leadership content needs real evidence behind its claims and a sign-off gate before it goes live. Use it when quality and accountability matter more than raw speed.

How it works

  1. 1A webhook fires with the theme and target outlet.
  2. 2The agent runs Perplexity research to collect supporting evidence and citations.
  3. 3OpenAI drafts the article in the configured brand voice with inline citations.
  4. 4The draft is posted to a Slack channel; a logic step waits for an approve or reject reaction.
  5. 5On approval, the publisher pushes the article live as the final output.
