What is a content agent?

A content agent is AI that does a team's content work end to end: it researches, writes in each person's voice, designs the graphic, schedules the post and engages with the people who respond, working from the team's own strategy files and performance data. An AI writer drafts text you paste; a scheduler publishes what you wrote; a content agent runs the motion and a person approves it.

How the four options split the work.

What to look for in a content agent

  • Context it keeps: a filesystem with your positioning, brand kit, decks and campaigns that it reads before every draft.
  • Each person's voice, learned from their own posts, so drafts need small edits.
  • Graphics, not only text, drafted from your brand kit.
  • Engagement: comments, connection requests and messages aimed at your ICP, with your approval.
  • Data: a benchmark of what works in your industry, and CRM matching to prove what it earned.
  • A team model: the company page and every person on one calendar.

How Imagine AI works as a content agent

Imagine AI's agent has its own computer, browser and sandbox. It reads your content filesystem and the public Imagine AI benchmark of 1,000+ B2B companies, drafts posts and graphics for your company page, founders, executives and employees, schedules them on one calendar, and engages for you on LinkedIn.

It then matches everyone who engages against HubSpot or Salesforce, traces closed deals back to their first content touch, and hands sales a weekly list of engagers that match your ICP. Imagine AI started as the operating system for ghostwriting teams, so sounding like each person is the core of the product.

What the agent can do.

The agent has its own computer and browser, so it finds the people and the news itself, then drafts every post, comment, connection note and message for you to approve.
