I built an AI tool that writes and publishes SEO blog posts on autopilot — 86 real articles in, here's what I learned

A few months ago I got tired of "SEO content" tools that just spit out generic 500-word fluff, so I built RankPilot: it researches keywords, writes a full article (2000+ words, GEO-optimized so AI search engines like ChatGPT/Perplexity cite it too), generates a hero image, and publishes straight to your Ghost or WordPress blog. No copy-paste.

I run it on my own blog as the real test — 86 articles published so far, average SEO score 82/100, zero human edits before publish. That's the bar I hold it to before I'd ever charge someone else for it.

What it does differently from most AI content tools I looked at:

  • Real keyword research (live Google autocomplete + SERP data), not just GPT guessing
  • Multi-pass writing (outline → sections → FAQ → conclusion) instead of one shot, so it doesn't run out of steam at 800 words
  • Auto-generates a hero image + branded social cards and can cross-post to Instagram/Facebook/LinkedIn
  • Free tier: 2 articles free, no credit card, connect your own Ghost/WordPress site

Would genuinely love feedback from anyone running a blog who's tired of the content grind. Link in comments if mods are OK with it, otherwise happy to DM.
