Getting Started

Your First Content Piece

This walkthrough shows how to take a content request from idea to approved post using Agenteous. The whole process happens in Slack.

The Scenario

A client runs a B2B SaaS product. They have a product update going live this week and want a LinkedIn post to announce it. You need a draft ready to review before their scheduled publish time.

Step 1: Make the Request

In your agent's content channel, post a message describing what you need:

@Agenteous Draft a LinkedIn post for our SaaS client announcing their new reporting dashboard feature. Audience is mid-market ops teams. Keep it under 200 words, professional tone, no hashtag spam.

You do not need to specify which agent handles this. The Concierge routes your request automatically if you post from your main channel. If you post directly in the Marketing Content agent's channel, it picks it up without routing.

Step 2: Review the Draft Card

Within a short time, the agent posts a card in the channel. The card shows:

  • The draft copy, formatted as it would appear on LinkedIn.
  • A note on the tone and audience framing the agent used.
  • Action buttons: Approve, Edit, Redraft, Skip.

Read the draft. If it matches the brief, you are one tap from done. If you want changes, you have two paths: Edit (you rewrite directly) or Redraft (the agent tries again with new instructions).

Step 3: Request a Revision

The first draft is close but the opening line is too generic. Post a reply or click Redraft and type your note:

Redraft: lead with the specific problem the dashboard solves, not a general opener about data

The agent posts a revised card. The new draft opens with the pain point and arrives in under a minute.

Step 4: Approve and Hand Off

The revision hits the mark. Click Approve. The agent records the approval, marks the item complete, and (if your workflow is configured to do so) passes the approved copy to your publishing queue or posts a confirmation note for your records.

You now have a reviewed, approved piece of content ready to go, with a clean approval trail.

:::note Agency mode Each content request is scoped to a specific client's brand voice. If you have multiple clients, make sure your request names or otherwise identifies which client the content is for. The agent uses that client's brand settings when drafting. :::

What You Just Did

In four steps you turned a brief into an approved draft without leaving Slack. The agent handled the writing; you handled the judgment call. That is the standard Agenteous workflow for any piece of content.

The same pattern applies to social posts, email campaigns, blog outlines, and ad copy. The request format and the approval card are consistent across agents.

Next Steps

  • Try a different content type: ask for an email subject line or a short ad headline.
  • Read the Marketing Content agent page for the full list of request types it handles.
  • Check the Marketing Social agent page to see how post scheduling works once content is approved.
  • If you want to set a recurring content brief, ask the Concierge how to set one up for your workflow.
