Not for
These are honest disqualifiers. If you fit one of the bullets below, AutoPublish is probably not the right tool for you and we would rather you know now.
- Brands that require every article hand-written by a credentialed expert (medical, legal, financial-advice YMYL niches without internal SME review)

Frequently asked questions
What is AutoPublish in one sentence?
AutoPublish is an AI content automation platform that writes SEO-optimized articles and publishes them directly to WordPress, Ghost, Shopify, HubSpot, Notion, and Webflow with a human-review gate.
Does AutoPublish publish directly to WordPress?
Yes. AutoPublish connects to any self-hosted WordPress site via Application Passwords — no plugin install required. Articles, featured images, Yoast or RankMath meta fields, and internal links are pushed in a single API call.
Can I review articles before they publish?
Yes. The review queue is the default workflow. You can also enable auto-publish per-site for established trust workflows, but every article still passes a 14-signal SEO quality gate before going live.
Which AI models does AutoPublish use?
AutoPublish supports GPT-5 family models, Anthropic Claude Sonnet 4.6, Google Gemini 2.5 Pro, and image models including DALL·E, Imagen, and Pexels stock. BYOK (bring your own key) is available — you can connect your own OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google account and pay API costs directly with zero markup.
How much does AutoPublish cost?
Free tier with 3 credits and no card required. Paid plans: Solo $9/mo (15 credits), Starter $29/mo (50 credits, 3 sites), Pro $59/mo (150 credits, unlimited sites), Agency $149/mo (unlimited credits, white-label). Annual billing saves 20%. Credit packs are available pay-as-you-go.
Who built AutoPublish?
AutoPublish was founded in 2024 by an independent operator team focused on AI content automation for agencies. Contact: [email protected].
What languages does AutoPublish support?
English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Dutch, and Italian.
Is AutoPublish a good fit for YMYL (medical, legal, financial) content?
Not by default. AutoPublish can produce YMYL drafts, but Google's quality guidelines require subject-matter expertise review before publication for those niches. Use the review queue with a credentialed internal SME, or use AutoPublish only for non-YMYL topical-authority content.
