Agentic workflows

Build SEO authority on autopilot

One visual workflow takes news from your niche all the way to a published, optimised story. It finds relevant articles, writes original stories in your voice, checks facts and quality, optimises for search and AI answers, adds images and translations, and publishes on your schedule.

What it is

A newsroom of AI agents, each with one job

An agentic workflow is a chain of steps on a visual canvas. Each card is one step: one finds new articles, the next keeps only what fits your topic, another writes the story, and the ones after it check, optimise, illustrate, translate, publish and share it.

Every step has its own preferences, like how much effort goes into writing or how stories about the same event are handled. You set them once, and the workflow runs on its own, every day.

Every step, explained

From a feed to a published story

Ten steps in four stages. Each card links to the moment in the video where the step is set up.

  1. Find

    New articles in, noise out.

    Feed sources

    Brings in new articles from the feeds you trust. Add any feed, save, and it is checked on every run.

    • Any RSS feed
    • Several feeds per workflow

    Evaluate

    Scores every new article against your topic, so only relevant news moves on. Negative keywords push unwanted stories down.

    • Topic keywords
    • Negative keywords
    • Articles checked per run

    Process

    Fetches each matching article in full, cleans out menus and ads, and saves it as a content source you can open any time.

    • Confidence threshold
    • Full text, cleaned
  2. Create

    Original stories, checked and optimised.

    Repurpose

    The AI writer turns your sources into original stories in your own voice, following your instructions.

    • Effort: normal or high
    • Same-event handling
    • Title, summary, content, bullets, tags
    • Categories and authors

    Quality Check

    A fact check compares each claim with the original sources. Writing quality scores the story and suggests concrete rewrites, and a topic match makes sure it still fits.

    • Fact check
    • Writing quality
    • Topic match
    • Your instructions

    SEO

    Audits every story for search and answer engines, and can fix the issues for you, so each story reaches your site already optimised for search and AI answers.

    • On-page SEO
    • Keywords
    • Internal links
    • Answer engines (AEO)
  3. Enrich

    Images and translations, side by side.

    Image Gen

    Gives every story a main image and a thumbnail: generated with AI, a stock photo, or the original article's image.

    • Main image + thumbnail
    • AI, stock or original
    • Skip stories with an image
    • Cap per run

    Translate

    Runs at the same time as Image Gen. Every extra language in your workspace gets its own version of the story.

    • Every workspace language
    • Tone per language
    • Fields per language
  4. Distribute

    Published and shared, the way you set it.

    Publish

    Marks stories as published, or publishes only the ones you've approved, so nothing goes live unreviewed. Sends each story to your connected CMS.

    • Approved stories only
    • Connected CMS
    • Your own webhook

    Social

    Turns published stories into posts, one per story or a single digest for the whole run, with the link and tone you choose.

    • X, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram
    • Per story or digest
    • Your tone

You stay in control

Autopilot, with you in the loop

Pause before any step

Switch on a pause before any step and the run waits there, so you can review the stories before it carries on.

Publish only what you approve

Publish can send only the stories you've approved to your CMS. Happy with them? Remove the pause, resume, and they go live.

On your schedule, or right now

Turn on run automatically, choose how often and pick a time. Or press Run and watch the articles move through each step.

Questions

Agentic workflows, answered

What is an agentic workflow in News Factory?

A chain of steps on a visual canvas, each doing one job: finding new articles in your feeds, keeping the relevant ones, writing original stories, checking them, optimising them for search and AI answers, adding images and translations, then publishing and sharing them. You set each step up once, and the workflow runs on its own.

Do I need to write code?

No. Each card on the canvas is one step, and you edit its preferences in a panel. The first time you create a workflow, a setup guide walks you through every step, and you can reopen it from the menu at the top whenever you like.

Can I review stories before they go live?

Yes. Add a pause before any step and the run waits there until you resume it. The Publish step can also publish only the stories you've approved.

How often does a workflow run?

As often as you choose. Turn on run automatically, set how often and pick a time, for example every day at 07:30. You can also run it right now at any time.

Where are the stories published?

To your connected CMS, and to your own webhook if you need one. The Social step then turns published stories into posts for X, LinkedIn, Facebook or Instagram.
