Setup
Connect your instance
Ensure Public Access
Your Strapi instance must be publicly accessible (localhost won't work). Use Strapi Cloud, ngrok, or deploy it to a server.
Create API Token
In Strapi admin, go to Settings → API Tokens → Create new API Token with Full access or custom permissions.
Configure Content Type
Enter your content type's pluralized API name (e.g., 'articles') and map the title, content, slug, and optional featured image URL fields.
Optional: Deploy Hook
Add a Vercel or Netlify deploy hook URL to automatically trigger a rebuild after publishing new content.
Flexibility
Your schema, your rules
Unlike rigid blogging platforms, Strapi lets you define exactly the content structure you need. Article, Post, News, Tutorial: call it whatever you want and include whatever fields make sense.
Publish Owl adapts to your schema. Just tell it which fields to populate and it handles the rest.
Example Field Mapping
- Content type - articles
- Title field - title
- Content field - content
- Slug field - slug
- Image field - featured_image_url (text field)
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.
