Updated

Autopilot Mode

Autopilot lets Kyni automatically generate and publish articles on a schedule, scaling your content production without daily work.

What autopilot does

Once enabled, Kyni:

  1. Generates articles — automatically writes articles for planned keywords
  2. Optimizes timing — publishes during peak SEO hours (9–11 AM your local time)
  3. Respects your pace — publishes 1 article per day (configurable)
  4. Spreads publishing — avoids weekends unless you configure otherwise
  5. Uses free credits — autopilot publishing is free (no credit charge)
  6. Notifies you — sends email when articles go live

You set up a content plan once, and Kyni handles the rest.

Enabling autopilot

Step 1: Create a content plan

  1. Go to Content Plan in your site
  2. Click Create New Plan
  3. Choose how many articles per week:
    • 1 per week — sustainable pace, low cost
    • 2 per week — moderate pace
    • 3 per week — aggressive pace
  4. Select keywords to include in the plan
  5. Kyni will generate ~20 articles worth of plans automatically
  6. Click Create Plan

Step 2: Enable autopilot

  1. Go to Autopilot in your site
  2. Click Enable Autopilot
  3. Configure settings:
    • Pace: 1, 2, or 3 articles per week
    • Publish window: Articles publish between 8 AM–3 PM your local time, weighted toward 10–11 AM
    • Weekends: Include or skip weekend publishes
  4. Click Start

Autopilot is now live. Your first article will publish on schedule during your configured publish window.

How autopilot schedules content

Kyni spreads articles evenly across the week:

  • 1 per week: publishes on the same day (e.g., every Monday at 10 AM)
  • 2 per week: spreads to two days (e.g., Monday and Thursday)
  • 3 per week: spreads across three days (e.g., Mon, Wed, Fri)

Publishing time includes randomness (±15 min) to appear human-like.

Managing autopilot

Viewing the schedule

  1. Go to Autopilot
  2. Click View Schedule
  3. You’ll see:
    • Next 5 articles — what’s queued to publish
    • Next publish time — when the next article goes live
    • Keywords planned — list of all keywords scheduled

Pausing autopilot

  1. Go to Autopilot
  2. Click Pause
  3. Articles won’t publish, but the plan stays intact
  4. Click Resume to restart

Pause if you want to review articles manually before publishing temporarily.

Stopping autopilot

  1. Go to Autopilot
  2. Click Stop
  3. Autopilot is disabled (you can re-enable later)

Stopping removes the schedule but keeps your content plan.

Changing the pace

  1. Go to Autopilot
  2. Click Settings
  3. Adjust articles per week
  4. Click Update

Kyni recalculates the schedule based on the new pace.

Monitoring autopilot

Activity log

View what autopilot has done:

  1. Go to Autopilot
  2. Click Activity Log
  3. See:
    • Articles published (with timestamps)
    • Generation status (success/failure)
    • Any issues encountered

Published articles

Autopilot articles appear in your Content Library like any other article:

  1. Go to Content Library
  2. Filter by status Published
  3. See autopilot articles marked with an Auto badge

You can edit, archive, or delete autopilot articles anytime.

Autopilot quality

Kyni’s autopilot articles go through the same process as manual generations:

  1. Create brief — outline and structure
  2. Generate text — 1,500–2,500 words
  3. Quality check — readability score ≥ 70
  4. Generate images — featured + section images
  5. Publish — goes live on schedule

All articles meet Kyni’s quality standards. You’re not getting lower-quality content; it’s just automated.

Reviewing autopilot articles

If you want to review before publishing:

  1. Go to Content Plan
  2. Find the article in the queue
  3. Click Review
  4. Read the article
  5. Approve (publish on schedule) or Reject (rewrite or skip)

This adds manual review to autopilot. Good if you want final approval before each publish.

Running out of keywords

When you’ve covered most planned keywords:

  1. Kyni will alert you: “Keywords in plan are running low”
  2. Go to Keywords and run research again
  3. Add new keywords to the content plan
  4. Autopilot will continue with the new keywords

You typically need to refresh keywords every 2–3 months.

Content plan limits

Plans are limited by your subscription:

  • Starter plan (1 site): 1 plan per site
  • Pro plan (up to 5 sites): 3 plans per site
  • Agency plan (unlimited sites): 10 plans per site

You can have one active autopilot per site.

Cost estimation

Autopilot uses credits for generation (not publishing):

  • 1 article/week: 15 credits/article
  • 2 articles/week: 30 credits/week
  • 3 articles/week: 45 credits/week

Costs depend on your credit package and plan. If you’re publishing smart (refreshing high-performing keywords), ROI usually appears within 6–8 weeks.

Autopilot best practices

  1. Start with 1 per week — test quality and satisfaction before increasing
  2. Target easy keywords first — position 20–50 keywords move faster
  3. Review the first 3 articles — verify quality before going full-auto
  4. Check rankings monthly — see what’s working
  5. Refresh failing articles — if a keyword isn’t moving, regenerate the article
  6. Adjust keywords seasonally — refresh research every 3 months

Troubleshooting

Autopilot isn’t publishing:

  • Check that it’s enabled (toggle should be ON)
  • Verify you have keywords in your content plan
  • Ensure you have enough credits
  • Check your site connection is still active

Articles are low quality:

  • This is rare—Kyni enforces quality gates
  • Check your article audit scores
  • If consistently poor, contact support
  • Try adjusting the tone or length in content plan settings

Publishing time is wrong:

  • Check your site’s timezone setting
  • Autopilot respects your local timezone
  • Update your timezone if it changed

Ran out of keywords:

  • Go to Keywords and run research again
  • Add new keywords to the content plan
  • Autopilot will use the fresh keywords

Pausing for vacations

Going on vacation? Pause autopilot:

  1. Click Pause in Autopilot settings
  2. Articles won’t publish while paused
  3. Resume when you’re back
  4. The schedule resumes from where it left off

Next steps

  • Start with 1 article per week
  • Monitor rankings and traffic for 4 weeks
  • Increase pace once you see consistent ranking gains
  • Refresh underperforming articles monthly
