Configuring Content Inputs and Topics

The foundation of any automated posting schedule is the content source. Antimanual provides two primary methods for defining what the AI should write about. First, you can provide a list of manual topics, entering multiple subjects one per line. The system will then cycle through these topics during each generation window. Alternatively, for a more dynamic approach, you can enable the “Suggest from KB” option.

When “Suggest from KB” is active, the AI analyzes your indexed documentation, PDF uploads, and crawled URLs to identify relevant subjects that have not yet been fully explored on your blog. This ensures that your automated content remains relevant to your specific niche and maximizes the value of your .

Integrating Knowledge Sources for Context

To produce high-quality, technically accurate content, the AI requires context. Within the scheduling interface, you can toggle the “Provide Context” setting. This allows the generator to draw information either from the global Knowledge Base or from specific “Knowledge Files” uploaded strictly for a particular auto-posting task. This granular control is essential for sites that cover diverse topics requiring different sets of reference data.

Post Metadata and Automated Taxonomies

Automation extends beyond the text itself into the administrative details of WordPress. During the setup phase, you can define the following parameters:

• Post Type and Author: Select whether the content should be created as a standard Post, a Page, or a custom post type, and assign a specific user as the author.
• Initial Status: Choose between “Draft” for manual review or “Publish” for fully autonomous operation.
• Automated Taxonomies: Enable toggles to auto-generate excerpts, categories, and tags based on the AI’s analysis of the generated text.

SEO Optimization and Structure (Pro)

For users seeking to dominate search engine results, the Pro version of Antimanual includes advanced SEO configuration. You can define focus keywords that the AI must prioritize, ensuring that every automated post is optimized for specific search queries. The system also automates the creation of meta descriptions and internal link structures to enhance the overall of your website.

Frequency and Execution Logic

The scheduling engine provides flexible timing options to suit your audience’s habits. You can configure the “Repeat On” interval to trigger generation daily, on weekdays, or on specific days of the week. Furthermore, you can set precise run times based on your server’s timezone to ensure posts are ready during peak traffic hours.

To prevent indefinite posting, you may also set an optional “Expiration Date,” after which the scheduling task will automatically deactivate. You can monitor all active and paused routines in the “Scheduled Postings List,” which displays the “Next Run Time” to give you full visibility into your upcoming content pipeline.
