Feature
Content Refresh
Keep articles current with manual or scheduled refreshes. URL slugs are preserved, and full version history with diff tracking lets you see what changed.
Keep content fresh
Content decay is real. Statistics go stale, information becomes outdated, and search rankings suffer. Content Refresh solves this by automatically regenerating articles on a schedule you define.
Set refresh intervals from days to months, and let Publish Owl handle the updates. Each refresh runs your article through the same AI workflow that created it, incorporating new information and updating outdated details.
Full version history with diff tracking lets you see exactly what changed in each refresh, so you can review updates before publishing or audit changes over time.

What is Publish Owl?
AI workflows that think like a content team
Publish Owl orchestrates multiple AI models in sequence, where each step builds on the previous. Just like a content team where researchers hand off to writers, who hand off to editors.
You define the workflow once, then run it with any keyword or data source. The platform handles everything from initial research to final publication on your CMS of choice.
Use your own API keys for complete cost control. No middleman markup, no hidden fees. Just direct access to the AI providers you choose.
Configure every detail: prompts, style guides, AI provider, image generation, and more. Save it once, reuse it endlessly.
Feed keywords, CSV data, or Google Sheets. Each input produces an article based on your agent's settings.
Articles go directly to WordPress, Ghost, Webflow, and other supported platforms with optional scheduling and drip publishing.
Why BYOK?
Skip the hidden markup
Most AI content platforms meter your usage behind subscription tiers. What costs them pennies in API calls gets marked up 10-50x before it reaches you through article limits and pricing tiers.
Publish Owl uses a BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) model. You connect your own API keys from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or others, and pay the AI providers directly at their rates.
No middleman. No hidden fees. No surprise bills. Just transparent, direct API costs that you control.
