Tutorial 3: Content Mode — Marketing & Social Media
What you’ll accomplish: Create a project briefing that captures your brand voice, then generate ready-to-publish social posts, long-form marketing copy, and a structured changelog — all consistent with your brand identity.
Time to complete: 5–10 minutes per content piece.
Prerequisites: An Ileen account with a credit balance.
Overview
Content Mode generates marketing materials and documentation for your products. Every agent builds on a central briefing that keeps all outputs consistent with your brand voice, audience, and key messages.
| Agent | What it does |
|---|---|
| 📋 Briefing | Defines your brand voice, audience, and key messages |
| 📣 Social Posts | Generates platform-specific social media content |
| 📝 General Content | Creates long-form copy: landing pages, feature descriptions, guides |
| 🔍 Content Review | Checks consistency and brand compliance; suggests improvements |
| 📒 Changelog | Generates human-readable release notes from your connected repositories’ commit history |
Use the interactive demo to see Content Mode in action before you start.
Step 1 — Switch to Content Mode
- Open the Ileen app and look at the mode selector in the sidebar footer.
- Click Content to switch mode.
Step 2 — Create a project briefing
The briefing is the foundation of everything Content Mode generates — it captures your brand voice, audience, and key messages. In Ileen the briefing is AI-generated from the inputs you provide; you don’t fill in each field manually.
- Click Briefing in the agent pipeline.
- Fill in the form:
- Project Name — the name that identifies this content project (e.g. “My Company Blog”).
- Description (optional) — a free-text paragraph describing your business, product, or service: what it does, who it’s for, what tone you want. The more detail you give, the more targeted the generated briefing will be (up to 4000 characters).
- Reference Documents (optional) — drag-and-drop any files that describe your brand: pitch decks, existing marketing copy, style guides, press releases. The agent extracts text from them.
- Repositories (optional, only when creating a new project) — connect Git repos so the agent can also learn from your codebase (e.g. for technical changelogs).
- Click Create Project & Generate Briefing (first time) or Generate Briefing (subsequent regenerations). The AI produces a structured briefing covering brand voice, audience, and key messages, which is then used as context for every other Content Mode agent.
Step 3 — Generate social posts
- Click Social Posts in the agent pipeline.
- Describe the post context: “Launch announcement”, “New feature: multi-currency support”, “Weekly product tip”.
- Ileen generates platform-optimised posts for:
- LinkedIn — professional tone, engagement-oriented
- Twitter / X — within character limit, hashtags included
- Instagram — caption with hashtag set
- Facebook — community-friendly tone, longer form allowed
- Threads — conversational, short-form
- Each post respects your briefing’s brand voice and key messages automatically.
- Each post appears as a collapsible card — click Copy on any card to put that post on your clipboard.
Step 4 — Generate general content
For longer-form materials, use the General Content agent. Pick one of the supported content kinds — Email, Presentation, Newsletter, Blog Post, Press Release, Report, Commercial Proposal, Internal Memo, or Other — choose a tone, describe what you need, and click Generate.
Examples of what you can request:
- “Write the hero section copy for our landing page”
- “Write a 300-word feature description for the payments module”
- “Draft an onboarding email sequence (3 emails) for new users”
- “Write a press release for our Series A announcement”
The agent outputs structured, ready-to-use copy. You can follow up in chat to adjust length, tone, or specific sections.
Step 5 — Review and refine
The Content Review agent checks all generated content for:
- Brand consistency — does the tone match your briefing?
- Message alignment — are the key messages present?
- Platform fit — is the LinkedIn post too short? Is the tweet too long?
- Accuracy — are any claims potentially misleading?
- Click Content Review in the agent pipeline.
- The agent scans all generated content and presents issues as a prioritised list.
- Chat with the agent to apply fixes: “Apply all suggestions” or “Rewrite the LinkedIn post but keep the CTA”.
- Once all issues are resolved, content is marked Approved and ready to publish.
Step 6 — Generate a changelog
The Changelog agent produces human-readable release notes by reading the recent commit history of every repository connected to the content project.
- Click Changelog in the agent pipeline.
- Set Days Back — how far back to look in the commit history (1–365, default 7).
- Choose the Language — Italian, English, Spanish, French, or German.
- Click Generate Changelog. The agent reads commits from all connected repos over the selected window and categorises changes automatically:
- ✨ New Features
- 🔧 Improvements
- 🐛 Bug Fixes
- ⚠️ Breaking Changes (if any)
- The generated changelog is rendered as formatted Markdown. Use the Copy button to copy it to the clipboard.
- Past changelog generations are stored in the History list — click any entry to expand and re-read it, or delete entries you no longer need.
Generated changelogs are suitable for:
- In-app “What’s new” panels
- Email newsletters and release announcements
- Public-facing documentation pages
- GitHub / GitLab release notes
