How it works

A clear path from input to reviewed CMS draft.

Connect sources

Bring in the feeds, sites, and Search Console context your operation already uses.

Agents create drafts

Use your own AI provider while BlogFactory keeps the work organized and site-scoped.

Review, then send

Approve the final revision and deliver it to the selected CMS as a draft—never live.

FAQ

Before you self-host.

Who is BlogFactory for?

Publishers and content teams operating one or more sites and coordinating repeatable editorial work.

Does BlogFactory include an AI model?

No. You connect the AI provider you already use and keep control of that relationship.

Can it publish directly to a live site?

No. The highest delivery authority is creating a CMS draft after explicit approval.

What can agents do?

Agents can research, generate, revise, diagnose, and prepare CMS drafts through BlogFactory's site-scoped MCP tools.

Can I self-host BlogFactory now?

Yes. The public repository is available for self-hosting as a release candidate. BlogFactory Cloud is not available yet.

Self-host the operation. Keep editorial control.
