Thank you @rohanrecommends for hunting us here today!
I left my job as a search infrastructure engineer at Google to start building AI products as an indie maker almost a decade ago, with my first launch being on this very platform.
A big pain point I faced while running my SaaS was the ability to reliably run a business blog. My options were
Hire content automation team / Hire freelancers - extremely expensive money-wise and time-wise. Not for most small-medium sized companies.
Duct tape an AI automation - time consuming and fragile / hard to get right and be consistent
“Slop Cannon” blog automation tools - dishonest to your audience / prone to search engine penalties
There had to be a way to reliably create content that takes the best of me (my opinions / counter-intutive thesis / expertise) and turn into posts that is genuinely useful to my audience - but it seemed like it just did not exist.
So, we built ACME.BOT - first for us. To be able to run our own blog with our own AI SEO agent.
Some key features:
💬 Chat driven — accessible via web chat / Telegram even on your phone!
🎙️ Interview mode — conducts an interview on the topic to understand your perspective and build the basis for the post
🔍 Deep Research — finds supporting facts and research backing your point of view
🗓️ Keyword research & content calendar
📊 Diagrams — visually represent concepts
🎨 Brand Tone — learns your voice from reference material
✍️ Humanizer — reduces the chance of being flagged as AI writing
🚧 Approval Gates — makes sure human checks are in place when needed
🚀 Auto-publish to Shopify and WordPress
🧠 Knowledge Base — everything you do on the platform feeds an ever-improving repository of your business context
At the heart of ACME.BOT is Human-In-The-Loop mechanic that drives the whole blog writing process collaboratively with low friction. So you step in only where you are genuniely irreplacable. Let ACME.BOT handle the rest.
Our initial set of users loved our features (like interviews, diagrams, deep research, run from phone).
Excited to be launching it here today!
As a part of our PH launch week we're offering free trials (no CC required) to everyone from PH. Sign up for the free trial here.
@abhishek_iyer The interview-first step is the interesting bet. Most AI SEO tools I've tried fail because they never learn what the business actually sells, so they optimize for traffic nobody converts. What does the interview capture that a good brief wouldn't, and how do you keep it from drifting back to generic keyword output after a few runs?
The interview-first approach is the real unlock here. Most AI SEO tools start from keywords and end up sounding like the same recycled SERP summary. Pulling in the founder’s actual opinions, examples, and counterintuitive takes before drafting feels much closer to how useful blog posts get made.
The GitHub/Markdown connector is also interesting for custom blogs. Curious how much control users get over the final publishing flow: can teams keep approval gates and edits inside their existing repo workflow before anything goes live?
ACME.BOT
@aditya_harish_2002 Thanks - that's exactly the bet we made.
Keyword-first tools converge on the same SERP summary because they all start from the same inputs. The interview is the only input your competitors can't have.
On the GitHub connector: yes - we have a review gate that waits for your feedback (as configured). Also drafts land in your repo as a pull request, so your existing review flow is the approval gate. Edit in the PR, request changes, merge when ready. Nothing goes live until the merge. ACME.BOT's own approval gates still apply upstream (before the PR is even opened) if you want a check earlier in the pipeline
Dyuti, you asked why people quietly stop publishing AI drafts, so here is mine: every draft read as competent and generic at once. No number I had earned, no opinion I would defend in a room, so putting my name on it felt like a small lie, and fixing that by hand cost more than writing from scratch.
The interview flow is the right fix, because the missing input was never the words, it was the first-hand material only I had.
One question, from running SEO in a narrow B2B healthcare niche: the posts that convert for me have almost no search volume and rank on depth, not keywords. Does the research chase volume, or can it work the low and zero-volume long-tail questions real buyers actually type?
ACME.BOT
@clemente_lopez1
On volume: So search volume is a lagging, averaged signal. In a narrow B2B niche the queries that convert often show as zero in every tool because the tools round down anything under ~10/month. So no, the research doesn't rank topics by volume alone. The interview + your knowledge base surface the questions your actual buyers ask (which you know and no keyword tool does), and the keyword research is there to shape the piece around how those questions get phrased
Honestly, healthcare B2B specifically is a good stress test for us - esp. if you try it on one of those zero-volume posts, Would love to hear whether the interview pulled out the depth that would make the post useful and make it rank!
PS: "Competent and generic at once" is going on a wall somewhere
I always wanted more control over what I post. This looks interesting.
In the process of trying it out for my blog.
Ps - how can I make it work for my custom built blog?
ACME.BOT
@mitalee_rao Hi Mitalee - What custom stack are you on? If your custom blog is on Github / with markdown, we have a GitHub connector. You can try it from the connectors page.

@abhishek_iyer covered what it does, so I'll just say why I wanted it to exist.
What worked for my previous product was blog posts targeting the specific things people search right before they buy. It worked better than ads and outbound for us.
We tried to scale that with writers, then with AI. Failed both times.
Took me ages to see why.
The posts that worked had things nobody else could write. Numbers from our own work, opinions from years of doing it. That never made it into a brief. So every draft needed hours of editing before I'd put my name on it, and that time never existed.
I generated a lot. I published almost none.
The interview flow is our answer to that. It does the research, reads your docs, then asks you the few things it couldn't know and your answers anchor the piece.
Basically the tool I wanted when I was doing this by hand.
The feedback I most want: if you've tried AI writing tools and quietly stopped publishing the drafts, tell me why. That's the failure mode we are builting against.
Love the interview mode and that the article is almost one shot keeping the needs of the brand (and that specific article) in mind.

@varun_dhamija Glad you liked the interview mode. The interviews compound over time in your Knowledge Base. So as you keep using ACME.BOT to write more blogs the context will keep building.
