# Skribra

> Skribra is an automated SEO content engine: named AI agents research, write, illustrate and publish long-form articles to your CMS on a schedule, then keep the published ones ranking using your Google Search Console data.

Skribra is a product, not a documentation site. The pages below describe what it does, how the pipeline and the agents work, what it costs, and how to integrate with it.

Every page here has a markdown representation: request it with `Accept: text/markdown`, or append `.md` to the path (for example https://skribra.com/glossary/backlink.md). Responses send `Vary: Accept`.

Machine-readable entry points:
