AI-Powered Feature Suite

Phase 1

AI baked in, not bolted on. Every AI capability is contextual and action-triggered — a "Generate Brief" button on a keyword opportunity, an "Analyze Voice" button in project settings, a "Diagnose Decline" link on a declining page. Intelligence at the moment you need it.

Writing Voice Analysis

Generate a brand voice profile from your existing site content. Five structured components (tone, structure, sentence style, brand context, avoid list) that make every AI output sound like you, not generic AI.

GSC Intelligence Dashboard

Quick Wins, Declining Pages, Content Gaps, and Weekly Digests — all surfaced from your GSC data with one-click AI explanations and diagnoses for every insight.

Content Brief Generator

Data-backed content briefs with target keywords, H2 outlines, internal link opportunities, and intent classification. Generated from real GSC data and your crawled site content.

Article Writer

Full article drafts from approved briefs, written in your brand voice. Markdown editor with live preview, inline internal link suggestions, and export to HTML or Markdown.

Internal Link Suggester

Semantic similarity across your crawled pages surfaces missing internal links. Page-level suggestions with AI anchor text, plus a site-wide audit for orphaned pages and topic clusters.

Site Intelligence Engine

Enhanced sitemap-based crawler stores clean content with AI embeddings. Every AI call is grounded in your real site data — GSC metrics, crawled pages, and project memory that improves over time.
