Content brief

Ask your AI for a brief and Cite42 returns the data: what AI already says, which sources it cites, which SEO keywords have demand, and what questions to answer.

Overview

Use this after you know the topic and need a brief your writer or AI can execute.

The workflow keeps the brief tied to endpoint data: answers, citations, keywords, trends, and audience questions.

The workflow price is calculated from the primitive tools it runs. The listed default is $0.58 for all models; pass fewer models to reduce the per-model primitive portion.

Example

Ask your agent in plain English and it calls the workflow tool for you:

# you say
Create a brief for a page about "AI visibility API for agencies".

The tool runs every primitive in parallel and returns the aggregated data to your agent (you never see this directly):

{
  "status": "workflow_result",
  "workflow": "content_brief",
  "results": [
    { "endpoint": "/v1/search", "ok": true, "why": "Shows what AI models already say about the topic.", "data": { /* full /v1/search output */ } },
    { "endpoint": "/v1/citations", "ok": true, "why": "Finds which sources AI models cite and where your site is missing.", "data": { /* full /v1/citations output */ } },
    { "endpoint": "/v1/keywords", "ok": true, "why": "Adds search volume, CPC, competition, and related keyword ideas.", "data": { /* full /v1/keywords output */ } },
    { "endpoint": "/v1/trends", "ok": true, "why": "Shows whether demand is rising, flat, or fading.", "data": { /* full /v1/trends output */ } }
    // …one entry per primitive in the workflow
  ]
}

Your agent reads the per-source results and answers you in plain English:
