What this is

Not a writing tool. Not a content agency.
An AI system under your name.

Software that runs the content work, not software that helps you do it. You subscribe, we host and maintain it, and it carries your brand instead of ours.

Hosted and managed

We host it, maintain it, and keep it running on our infrastructure, rebranded as yours. Nothing to deploy, nothing to babysit, and you can cancel any month and take everything with you.

Your keys, your models

You plug in your own model key and choose which models write and which ones check. Your provider bills you directly, at cost, never marked up through us, and you watch the spend line by line in your own dashboard. No competitor offers this, and it is the difference between a budget you control and a budget somebody else sets.

Our editorial standard, plus yours

The engine ships with the standard we run for real content clients baked into every prompt, threshold and gate, which is why the rules are specific rather than generic. And all of it is editable, so your senior editor puts your methodology on top and it runs the way your team already works.

One workspace, a project per site

Every site is its own project with its own brand brief, voice, calendar and reporting. Add as many as you run. Unlimited, on the same flat price, with a read-only report link you can share without giving up a seat.

The workflow

From a URL to a published page. You choose how hands-on.

The whole content lifecycle as one pipeline: running on its own, or holding at the backlog, the calendar, or the publish step. Per project, and reversible either way.

01

Point it at a site

It crawls the site and writes the brand brief itself: what you sell, how you sound, the proof you are allowed to use, the words you never use. You correct it once and confirm it. That screen is a gate, not a formality.

FirecrawlFirecrawl

02

Connect and discover

Search Console, your CMS, your model key. Then it maps your competitors, your pillars, and what you already cover, so every decision after this is made against your real footprint instead of a generic list.

GoogleGoogleDataForSEODataForSEO

03

The backlog

Ranked topic cards, each stamped write it, fix it, or withheld, each carrying the evidence that produced the verdict. The withheld list ships attached, which is the only way to tell a gate that ran from one that passed everything.

04

The calendar

Set the cadence and the calendar fills itself from the top of the backlog. Approve it once and leave it running, or hold every item for review. Per project, and reversible both ways.

05

Write, check, gate

Eleven agents research, brief, outline, draft, edit, link, verify and score. An article that does not reach 9.0 with zero critical failures gets rewritten, and after three rounds it goes to a person instead of going live.

06

Publish and measure

Straight into WordPress, or exported clean with the title, meta, schema and links attached. Then Search Console drives the scoreboard, and the same data wakes the repair half of the engine.

Under the hood

The writing is the easy part. The deciding is the product.

Anyone can generate an article now. The hard questions are which article, whether it should exist at all when you already have three pages half-covering it, and what has to be true before it goes live. Click any stage to see the actual rule behind it.

The interface is in build, so there are no screenshots here yet. We would rather show you the logic than a picture of a screen that does not exist.

Decide what to write

Four lenses find candidates. Code, not a language model, decides what happens to each one.

Most keyword tools give you one view: what has volume. Sphinx runs four lenses over your market in the same pass, because the topics that win Google and the topics that get quoted in AI answers are not the same list. Each lens only discovers; the expensive work (live SERPs, scoring, coverage) runs once, on the shortlist that survives the gates, which is what keeps the data bill small.

DataForSEODataForSEOGoogleGoogle

The live lenses

LLM fanout
the question tree an AI answer expands your topic into
AI suggestions
commercial ideas, grounded in real keyword data
Competitor gaps
what the set you named ranks for and you do not
Trending
rising demand only, confirmed against real data

This is the part that separates a content system from a content generator. Before anything is written, the engine checks the topic against what you have already published and where those pages actually sit, then routes it. A topic you already rank top three for is dropped, not rewritten, because a second page on it would fight the first one. The rules are deterministic code with named thresholds, so the same input gives the same verdict every time and every card shows its reason.

The decision, in order of precedence

Two pages, one intent
consolidate
A page that is slipping
refresh
You rank, a rival gets the citation
optimize for the answer
Already winning it
leave it alone
Positions 4 to 20
optimize to climb
No page for it at all
write it

For every topic worth having, the engine looks at what the AI answer for it actually cites, and grades the gap: you are cited, you are contested, or you are absent. Absent on a query you already rank for is the highest-value work on the whole backlog, because the page exists and only the structure is wrong. This is also the input to the off-site side: the third-party pages AI engines quote for your queries are a target list, not just a diagnosis.

PerplexityPerplexityGoogleGoogle

Graded, not a yes or no

Cited
you are already in the answer
Contested
your competitors are in it, you are on the page
Absent
the answer does not mention you at all

Topics are screened before they cost you anything: your own stoplist and competitor terms, then relevance to who you actually sell to, then a brand check that either reframes a topic or refuses it. Anything refused is written to a do-not-cover list with its reason, so it never resurfaces on the next run and you never argue with the same bad idea twice. Every backlog ships with its excluded list attached, which is the only way to tell a gate that ran from a gate that passed everything.

Write it

Eleven agents per article, and a gate that will not pass a bad one.

Each approved topic gets its own research pass: the current results, the AI answer, the questions people actually ask underneath it, and the relevant pages read in full. The brief that comes out leads with your positioning and your differentiators, carries the angles nobody has covered, and names what to avoid. The draft starts from that, which is why it does not read like a summary of page one.

DataForSEODataForSEOFirecrawlFirecrawl

AI answers quote passages, not pages. So the outline puts a direct answer at the top before the introduction, and gives every section a self-contained, source-backed block an engine can lift whole without needing the rest of the article. It is the same structure that makes a page easy for a person to skim, which is why this is not a trade-off against writing for humans.

Sphinx crawls your site and writes the brand brief itself: what you sell, how you talk, the proof you are allowed to use, the words you never use, and the call to action. You read it once and correct it, and that screen is a gate rather than a formality, because a wrong brief quietly poisons every article after it. Every project has its own, so an agency running fifteen sites has fifteen voices and no cross-contamination.

FirecrawlFirecrawl

After the draft, three independent checks run: an adversarial fact and compliance pass that treats every claim as unverified until it is proven, a link validator that opens every link, and a scorer that grades the article against the brief it was given. Fail, and only the failed items are rewritten before the checks run again. Three rounds is the limit; anything still failing goes to a human instead of being quietly published. Turning on full automation changes who clicks publish, never what is allowed through.

What passing means

Weighted score
9.0 out of 10, or it does not ship
Critical failures
zero, and they cannot be scored around
Brief coverage
nothing in the brief left uncovered
Dead links
one is a critical failure
Rounds
three, then it escalates to a person

Generic content is what happens when a machine writes about something it has no first-hand knowledge of. So the big articles stop and ask you a short set of questions, and your answers go into an insight bank the supporting articles draw on afterwards. Smaller pieces do not interrupt you: they use the bank and ship with a note saying what they drew on. This pause survives full automation, because it is the reason full automation does not produce filler.

Most tools add links from the new article and stop, which quietly leaves it an orphan. Sphinx does both directions: links out to the pages that support it, and links in from the existing pages that should point at it, which is the half that actually gets a new page crawled and ranked. External citations go to real sources, and never to a competitor.

Fix what you already published

The half of the engine that needs no new article at all, and it is usually the fastest win.

A site with a few hundred pages and a few years of Search Console history is not a blank page, and treating it like one is the standard failure of AI content tools. The moment the data is connected, the engine reads your real coverage and positions and starts issuing verdicts on pages that already exist, each with the evidence that produced it. Twenty fixed pages tend to land long before a new article has had time to do anything, which is why this is the first thing we point it at.

GoogleGoogle

The optimize side is not one vague “rewrite” button. Each verdict is a different job with a different fix, and each one names the pages and the numbers that triggered it, so an editor can disagree with it before any work starts.

What it hands your editor

Consolidate
two pages splitting one intent, and which to keep
Refresh
a page losing ground, and what changed under it
Climb
a page in positions 4 to 20, and what page one has that it does not
Win the citation
you rank, the answer quotes someone else

Version one publishes to WordPress. Everything else gets the finished article with its title, meta, schema and internal links attached, ready to paste or import. We would rather ship one connector that works than four that half-work, and the second one gets built when a customer names it. If your CMS is the blocker, say so on the call and we will tell you straight whether it is on the list.

One system, not six tabs

Replace the whole content stack with one login.

No keyword tool, no separate brief template, no writing app, no spreadsheet tracking which page needs refreshing. One system your team runs.

Research and decide

Backlog
  • Topics found four ways at once, for search demand and for AI answers
  • A write, fix, or withhold verdict on every topic, with the evidence attached
  • Citation gap on your money queries: cited, contested, or absent
  • Your competitors' coverage mapped against your own, not guessed at
  • A withheld list you can read, so a rejected idea never comes back around

Write and check

Production
  • Drafts in a brand voice derived from your own site and confirmed by you
  • Answer-first structure, with one liftable passage under every heading
  • Internal links in both directions, so a new page is never left an orphan
  • Every link opened and checked, and a dead one fails the whole article
  • Pillar articles pause and ask you the things only you know

Your team, your rules

Control
  • Runs on its own, or holds at the backlog, the calendar, or the publish step
  • Every prompt and threshold editable, so it runs your editorial standard
  • A read-only report link per project, to share without giving up a seat
  • Unlimited projects, each with its own brief, calendar and voice

And it keeps getting more powerful: every new tool we ship lands in your workspace, included in the same flat price.

The fastest win

It does not only write new pages. It fixes the ones you already have.

A site with a few hundred pages and years of Search Console history is not a blank page, and treating it like one is the standard failure of AI content tools. Connect Search Console and half the engine that most tools do not have wakes up: it reads your real coverage and positions and starts issuing verdicts on pages that already exist. Two pages splitting one intent get merged. A page losing ground gets refreshed. A page sitting in positions 4 to 20 gets a plan to climb. A page you rank with, but that AI answers quote a competitor for, gets restructured to be the quotable one. Every verdict names the pages and the numbers behind it, so your editor can disagree with it before any work starts. This tends to land long before a new article has had time to do anything, which is why it is the first thing we point it at.

The stack

We run the infrastructure. You own the models.

One API key is all it takes to go live, and it is yours. Search data and site crawls are on us, inside the monthly, so the only usage bill you ever see is the one from your own model provider, at their price.

Projects

One workspace, every site you write for.

Add a project for each site you work on, whether that is a client, a brand you run in house, or your own portfolio. Agencies, in-house teams and freelancers all run it the same way, at the same price. It carries your brand throughout, so when you sell content on top of it, the margin stays with you.

A project per site

Its own brand brief, its own voice, its own competitors, its own calendar and its own numbers. Add as many as you run.

No voice bleeds into another

Each project's brief is derived from that site alone, so a client in fintech never picks up the tone of the one in furniture.

One flat price

Projects are unlimited and articles are unlimited, so your tenth site costs exactly what your first one did. Nothing.

$30

per site, per month, at ten sites

That is the whole argument for the price, and it is just division. $300 a month covers unlimited projects, so the more sites you run, the less each one costs you. Per-site tools bill you again for every one of them, and a done-for-you service bills you per page on top. Run one site and you are buying ownership and volume rather than the lowest sticker price. Run ten and the arithmetic makes the case on its own.

Where this comes from

A new product. Not a new engine.

WorldFirst

Sphinx is not a new engine. It is two we already run for clients, put behind one product. The topic research, the multi-lens discovery and the write-or-fix router come from the system we built for WorldFirst, part of Ant Group, the company behind Alipay: keyword research in, publish-ready articles out, with their editor in the loop. The article engine, its eleven agents and the acceptance loop come from another live client system. What is new here is the tenancy, the onboarding and the calendar, not the writing.

Neither half was written for a launch

Both engines run real content operations today, for real clients, against real editors who send work back. That is a different thing from a demo that has only ever been shown.

The gate has been argued with

Nearly every rule in it exists because a client rejected an article for that exact reason. That is why the checks are specific instead of a generic quality score.

We go first

tasken.ai becomes project number one inside Sphinx, onboarded through the same screens you would use. That is our own gate before we open it: if it still needs us to run a script, it is not finished.

What we will not do is show you customer results for a product that has no customers yet. Sphinx is in early access. Judge the machine and the method, and bring us the hardest question you have about your own site.

Testimonials

The results, in their words.

Why not a tool or an agency

Own the content operation.
Not a seat in someone else’s.

A per-site tool rents you a licence and charges again for the next site. A content service rents you pages on a contract. This puts the whole operation in your own workspace, under your own name, at one flat price.

What you pay

Tasken$300/mo flat, and nothing else. Unlimited projects, unlimited articles, no per-page fee.
A per-site AI content toolPer website, every month. Two sites is two subscriptions, ten is ten.
A done-for-you content servicePer page, on a retainer, and usually on a year or two of contract.

How much it writes

TaskenUnlimited. The real cap is your editors' attention, not a plan tier.
A per-site AI content toolAn allowance: so many articles a day or a month, then you upgrade.
A done-for-you content serviceA fixed number of pages a month, and the number is small.

Whose models

TaskenYours. You pick which model writes and which one checks, and you see the spend.
A per-site AI content toolTheirs. You write on whatever they picked, at whatever margin they set.
A done-for-you content serviceTheirs, and you never see it.

Whose brand

TaskenRebranded as yours, so you can sell content on top of it and keep the margin.
A per-site AI content toolTheirs, on every screen your client might see.
A done-for-you content serviceTheirs. You are reselling their service, at their price.

Your existing pages

TaskenAudited and routed: merge, refresh, climb, or win the citation back.
A per-site AI content toolMostly new articles. What you already published is somebody else's problem.
A done-for-you content serviceIn scope only if you pay for it, as more pages.

Who signs off

TaskenThe gate does, on every article. The human click is optional, per project, and reversible.
A per-site AI content toolFull autopilot, and usually that is the only setting.
A done-for-you content serviceA person, on their queue and their timeline.

When you stop

TaskenCancel any month and export everything. Your brief, your backlog, your articles.
A per-site AI content toolYour content stays published. Nothing else about the operation was ever yours.
A done-for-you content serviceThe process and the institutional knowledge leave with them.
The boundaries

What it does not do.

Naming this is the difference between a system and a promise. If one of these is a dealbreaker, better you know now than three weeks in.

No technical SEO fixes

It does content. It will not crawl your site for redirect chains, Core Web Vitals or broken canonicals, and it will not pretend to.

No backlinks

That is Horus, our link building system, and it is a separate subscription. A natural pair, not a bundled feature.

One language per project, for now

Version one writes in a single language per project. Multi-language is an architecture decision, not a toggle we are hiding.

No client logins yet

You get a read-only report link per project to share instead. Full seats for your clients is a later question, and an honest one.

Links are the other half of the job. Horus does that one, at the same flat price, and most teams end up running both.

Forget the per-page invoice

One flat plan. No markup on anything.

One monthly price for your whole workspace, one site or fifty. We host and support it, and you cancel anytime. The model spend runs through your own account at your provider’s price, so there is no margin for us to take on the thing you use most.

Hosted & managed

$300/month

That is the whole price. Plug in your own model key and your provider bills you directly, at cost.

On timing: Sphinx is in build and opens to a first cohort. You get a date and a written description of what it does on the day you start, before you pay anything, and if we are going to be late you will hear it from us before you have to ask.

On usage costs: the model spend is billed to you directly by your own provider, at cost, separate from the flat monthly. Search data and site crawls are on us, inside the price. Because you choose which models write and which ones check, the ceiling is yours to set, and you can watch it line by line in your own dashboard.

FAQ

The questions before you start

Not yet, and we are not going to pretend otherwise. Sphinx is in build and opens to a first cohort, so what you get by asking now is a date, the cohort terms in writing, and a walkthrough of the engines it is built on. Two things make that a real offer rather than a waitlist. The engines underneath already run content operations for clients today, so this is a productization rather than a blank page. And tasken.ai becomes project number one inside it, onboarded through the same screens you would use, which is the gate we set ourselves: if it cannot run our own site as an ordinary project, it is not finished and we will not open it.

WordPress in version one, plus a universal export for everything else: the finished article with its title, meta description, schema and internal links attached, ready to paste or import. We would rather ship one connector that works properly than four that half-work. If your CMS is the blocker, say so and we will tell you straight whether it is next on the list or not on it at all.

One model key (an OpenRouter account covers everything, or bring a provider key directly), read-only Search Console access to your own property, and CMS credentials if you want it publishing for you. Search data and site crawls are on us, inside the monthly, so there is no second vendor bill to manage. The model spend is billed to you at cost by your own provider, never through us, and because you choose the models you set the ceiling yourself.

It writes from a brand brief derived from your own site: what you sell, how you talk, the proof you may use, the words you never use, and the call to action. You read it and correct it before anything is written, and we treat that screen as a gate, because a wrong brief quietly poisons every article after it. Every project carries its own brief, so an agency running fifteen sites has fifteen voices and none of them leak into each other.

You choose, per project, and you can change your mind either way. A new project runs on its own by default, because a machine that waits for a click on every article is a drafting tool. Three pauses survive whichever way you set it: you confirm the brand brief once at the start, pillar articles stop to ask you what only you know, and anything that fails the quality gate three times goes to a person. Full automation means publish what already passed the gate. It never means skip the gate, and the publish step structurally refuses an article that has not passed one.

It gets audited, and this is usually the fastest visible win. The moment Search Console is connected the engine reads your real coverage and positions and starts issuing verdicts on pages that already exist: two pages splitting one intent get merged, a page losing ground gets refreshed, a page sitting in positions 4 to 20 gets a plan to climb, and a page you rank with but that AI answers quote somebody else for gets restructured. Each verdict names the pages and the numbers behind it, so your editor can disagree with it before any work starts.

Yes. One flat $300 a month, however many projects, however many articles. Two honest caveats. The model spend is yours, so volume has a cost even though we do not charge for it, and you control that by choosing the models. And publishing two hundred mediocre pages is a worse outcome than publishing twenty good ones, which is why the gate exists and why we would rather you use the ceiling than fill it.

Neither, it is an AI System. We host the orchestration so there is nothing to install, and your team operates it (we do not run your content programme for you). The closest mental model is an AI employee, hosted for you, that your editor supervises.

Yes. Every prompt, every scoring weight, and the acceptance threshold itself are editable and versioned. Your senior editor can encode your standard into the system rather than filing a feature request and waiting. That is why we call it an AI System and not a SaaS: the logic is yours to change, not a black box you send tickets to.

A generator answers the question “write me an article about X”. The hard question is which X, and whether X should be a new page at all when you already have three that half-cover it. Sphinx spends most of its machinery on that decision: what to write, what to fix, and what to refuse, each with the evidence attached. The writing is the easy part now, and everyone has it. The judgement is the product.

Yes, that is Horus, and it is a separate system at the same flat $300 a month. Content and links are the two halves of the same job and most teams end up running both, but they are sold separately and you are not obliged to take one to get the other.

No contract, cancel any month, and access ends at the end of that month. Everything you built stays yours and exports in full: the brand brief, the backlog with its verdicts, every draft and every published article. Your model key was always in your own account, and anything already published is already on your site.
