Content Engine

Software for founder-led content. Every morning it listens to where your buyers talk (Reddit, LinkedIn, X, YouTube) for what they are asking, turns the best of it into ideas by theme, and drafts posts in your voice for LinkedIn and X. You approve; the desk hands you the final text to paste and post. Comments and reactions on what you published are collected, and the people who match your customer profile become leads. A newsletter issue is assembled from the week. Monday tells you which theme and format earned attention. The software never posts, likes or comments as you.

For founders and small marketing teams publishing in the founder's name

Who it is for

Is this desk for you?

The pack is built for a person who publishes under their own name, and the small team that helps. It fits three kinds of team.

A founder who posts

You know you should post three times a week and you manage one. The desk finds the ideas, drafts in your voice, and hands you the text. You still press Post yourself.

A small marketing team of 1 to 5

One marketer runs the desk for the founder. The listening, the drafts, the engagement harvest and the newsletter are the marketer's week; the founder approves and posts.

A marketing team inside a large company

A team running executive or thought-leadership content for a leader in an MNC, with a rule that nothing is published by software. The desk gives them that by design.

Which departments use it inside a large company

Marketing / ContentListening, ideas, drafts, the calendar, the newsletter, the Monday numbers.
Founder's office / Executive communicationsDrafts in the leader's voice, approved by the leader, posted by hand.
Sales / Business DevelopmentComments and reactions from people who match the customer profile, flagged as leads.
Compliance / LegalNo agent ever posts, comments, likes or runs an ad. Every draft is approved by a named person.
Not a fit if you want software that posts automatically, replies to comments as you, or runs ads. This pack does none of those on purpose.

Where it fits in your day

1 · ListenEvery morning: what buyers are askingReddit, LinkedIn, X and YouTube searched for your topics; the best become ideas.
2 · DraftAgents write, never postA LinkedIn post and an X version for each picked idea, hook first, in your voice.
3 · You approve and postOne click, then pasteApprove on the desk; the final text is emailed to you; you paste it and post it; you paste the link back.
4 · HarvestComments become leadsReactions and comments collected every morning; people who match your profile are flagged.
The one rule

Everything the software produces is a draft for a person. It never posts, shares, likes, comments or follows as you, never sends a newsletter, never touches an ad account, and never sends an email without a person approving it first.

The desk · Screen 1 of 4

Week: approve, post, reply

The founder's morning. Five live numbers. Drafts to approve, each with the text in front of you and a Shorter button. Posts ready to paste. Theo beside them. Comments worth a reply. The calendar. Two buttons: add an idea, repurpose a link.

Approve

The post is formatted for its channel and the final text is emailed to you. You paste it and post it yourself.

Shorter

Rewrites the draft to its point, in your voice, for another look.

Posted

You published it. Paste the link back and the harvest starts collecting reactions.

Repurpose a link. Five ideas are written when it is saved.
The coordinator

Theo, Content Producer

Theo is a software colleague you can chat with. Theo runs the morning list, knows which agent to use for what, and turns a sentence into a plan you approve before it runs. Theo never posts.

Theo, Content Producer

Every morning: the posts ready to paste today with the final text, the drafts waiting for approval, the new listening worth a look, the engagements that match your profile. Tools: the listening tools (platform keys), Turtle Notify.

Example. You type "What is ready to post today?" Theo replies: "Two ready: the SDR piece for LinkedIn and its X version. Three drafts waiting for you. Three comments from people who look like customers, on yesterday's post. Want the reply drafts?"

What talking to Theo looks like

You typed a question. Theo turned it into a short task and started reading the tables. Reading is allowed on its own; anything that sends or books stops for your approval.

Theo's page after the question: the task running step by step, tracked in the task list on the right.
The 8 agents · 1 of 2

Listening, ideas and drafts

An agent does one job. It starts on a schedule, when something changes, or when Theo asks it. It reads your tables and your voice document, writes its result into the record, and stops. No agent ever posts.

Listener

Every morning it searches Reddit, LinkedIn posts, X and YouTube for the questions in your playbook, writes the best items as listening rows, and turns the top three into ideas.

Example. "r/sales: 'When did you hire your first SDR and was it too early?' 140 comments. Idea: Why founders hire an SDR too early (Craft pillar)."

Repurposer

Reads a blog post, a document or a call transcript you paste a link to, and writes five ideas across your pillars, each with an angle.

Example. Your blog post "The approval is the product" becomes five ideas: one on trust, one on speed, one customer story, one on what you got wrong, one founder note.

Drafter

When you pick an idea, it writes a LinkedIn post and an X version, hook first, in your voice rules, and puts them up for approval.

Example. "Why founders hire an SDR too early": 178 words for LinkedIn, no hashtags, ends with a question. A 240-character X version beside it.

Rewriter

When you click Shorter, it cuts the draft to its point in your voice and puts the new version up for another look.

Example. The 178-word post becomes 96 words. The hook stays. Two examples go.

Posting prep, harvest, newsletter and Monday

The jobs after the draft is approved.

Post Prep

When you approve a post, it formats the text for its channel, marks it ready, and emails you the text with a link to the row. You post by hand and paste the link back.

Example. An email at 8:10: "Ready to post: the SDR piece. 178 words, formatted for LinkedIn. Copy from the row, post, paste the URL back."

Engagement Harvester

Every morning it reads the comments and reactions on what you published, updates the counts, and creates a row for each person, flagging the ones who match your customer profile.

Example. "Yesterday's post: 312 reactions, 14 comments. Three commenters match: two founders of 10 to 50 person agencies, one head of sales."

Newsletter Assembler

When you start an issue, it writes three sections with one link each from the week's posts and creates the draft in your email tool. You review and send there.

Example. Issue 14: three sections from this week's posts, a draft campaign in Mailchimp, nothing sent.

Monday Digest

Published posts, impressions and reactions by pillar and format, the best post, engagements that became leads, and what to write more of.

Example. "4 posts, 1,900 reactions. Craft on LinkedIn wins again. 5 commenters look like customers. Write more of: customer stories."
Your data

6 tables

Tables are where everything is stored. They look like spreadsheets and your team can open and edit them.

IdeasOne row per idea, by pillar, with where it came from.New → Picked → Drafted · Dropped

Your playbook and tools

The software knows nothing about your voice except what the tables and your voice document tell it.

Voice and Pillars

One document: your voice rules, your pillars, your audience, the questions to listen for, and ten posts that worked. Every agent reads it. Replace the starter text with your own.

Example. Add "never open with a question; open with a claim" and every draft from the next one opens with a claim.

Tools connected at setup

Listening tools (platform keys)MailchimpTurtle Notify

  • Listening tools (platform keys). Reddit, LinkedIn post search, X and YouTube search. Nothing to connect.
  • Mailchimp. The newsletter draft. Swap for Brevo or Kit at install. No LinkedIn or X account is ever connected: you post.
  • Turtle Notify. Built in. Emails you the final text to paste, and the Monday digest.

The desk uses whichever AI model your company has already connected. You do not choose or manage a model for each agent.

When things run

The weekly timetable

Drafting and post prep run from day one. The listener, the harvester and the digest are off until you switch them on.

Buttons on the desk run agents too. "Shorter" runs the rewriter; "Make an idea" turns a listening item into an idea.

How approvals work

A person is always between the software and the outside world

Two things always need a person, and one thing is never done by the software at all.

1 · Approve on the desk

Every post is approved by you before it is formatted. Kill means it is never used.

2 · You post

The software never posts. It emails you the final text; you paste it into LinkedIn or X and press Post yourself. The same for the newsletter: a draft in your email tool, sent by you.

3 · Plans

When you give Theo a task, Theo writes a plan and shows it first. Approve and run, change it, or cancel.

Approvals
The Approvals page for the content workspace. Post Prep wants to email you the final text. You see the recipient, the subject and the text before you approve.
Who approves. Owners and admins, by default. A waiting message expires unsent after 24 hours, and the admins are reminded after 4. An approver going on holiday can hand their queue to a colleague, and every decision made that way records both names. Every approval is written to the audit trail with the name, the time and the message as approved.
Rules the software must follow

Five rules the pack ships, and the built-in ones

A rule is checked before every single thing the software tries to do. The pack installs five rules of its own on top of the standard ones every workspace starts with.

Nothing publishes on your behalfNeverNo agent creates a post, a share, a tweet or a campaign send on any channel. The desk only hands over text.
Nothing engages as youNeverReading comments is how the desk finds leads. Writing a comment, a like, a follow or a message as you is never done.
Nothing deletesNeverThe software cannot delete a post, an idea or a campaign.
No paid media from this deskNeverAd accounts are never touched.
Newsletter drafts are recordedLoggedEvery campaign draft the desk creates in the email tool shows in the audit trail.
Built-in rules on topNeeds a personThe standard rules every workspace starts with: sending, deleting, permissions and payments need approval; bulk export is recorded.
The list of rules for the content workspace.
The overview: active rules, alarms, anything waiting for review, personal data masking.

Everything is recorded

For every run you can see which agent ran, why it ran, every step it took, and every rule that checked it. Passwords and card numbers are blanked out before anything is stored.

Audit trail
The audit trail for the content workspace: a request to post denied, a request to like denied, a newsletter draft recorded.

Spending limits

A monthly budget with a warning level and a hard stop. Listening tools cost money per call; the budget caps it.

Your accounts stay yours

No LinkedIn or X account is connected to the software. It cannot post, comment or follow because it has no way to.

Your voice

Every draft is written from your voice document and your ten best posts. You approve every word before it goes out.

Who can see what

The desk is shared with the team. Only owners and admins change the layout.

What it saves

Hours back for a founder posting three times a week

These estimates assume three LinkedIn posts and three X posts a week, a weekly newsletter, and an hour a week reading comments. "Before" is the time by hand; "after" is the reading, approving and posting that is left. Your numbers will differ. These are estimates, not measurements; after a month the audit trail gives you real figures.

Posts about real questions

Comments become leads

The people who react to your posts and look like customers are on one list, every morning.

Pricing

Included on every plan

You pay for the platform, not per desk. The plan sets how many agents, employees and workspaces you can run; every desk is included, and runs are billed on your own model key at cost. 8 agents in this desk count against the plan's agent limit.
