Multi-agent first drafts for feature guides
A writer submits a feature name and help-doc links. One agent mines community posts for real questions, one searches internal docs, one writes a draft from a template, and four editor agents each handle one job: customer language, style guide, de-AI phrasing, internal links.
Building block of the Content engine that tracks rankings and rewrites.
1Is this my problem?
Long instructions get partly ignored by a single prompt. Splitting the work into narrow agents made sure every guideline was applied.
You'll recognise this if…
- First drafts take days.
- Style rules applied inconsistently.
- Writers repeat research.
2Is this solution worth it?
The sources describe how this is built but publish no hard results, so the figures below are our estimates.
Your ROI, with the assumptions shown
Prefilled with illustrative assumptions (8 h/week at $55/h, 40% automated, build $8,000). Change them to your numbers.
Limits and when not to build it
Skip it if: Occasional publishing.
- The writer still owns the final piece; these are first drafts.
- Store every intermediate draft so you can see which agent made a change.
3How does it work?
One small internal tool does this for you. The same job, before and after:
Before · by hand
- Writer submits feature + doc links: someone notices
- Agent 1: community research
- Agent 2: internal docs (Glean)
- Agent 3: template draft (by hand)
- Agents 4-7: focused edits (by hand)
- Google Doc + Slack DM to writer

Maturity ladder
What each level adds. Most teams start at level 1 or 2 and climb. Highlighted: where this build sits.
- Level 1Basic automation
Trigger: writer submits feature + doc links. Fixed rules then agent 1: community research, agent 2: internal docs (glean), google doc + slack dm to writer. No AI involved.
- Level 2AI-assisted
An LLM handles the judgement step (agent 3: template draft) and a person reviews every output before it is used.
- Level 3Autonomous agent
The agent runs end to end on its own and only stops for exceptions. Human writer edits and publishes.
- Level 4Self-learning system
Becomes part of the content engine that tracks rankings and rewrites: Every week, pages with impressions but low click-through get new titles, and pages ranking 8-20 get expanded.
Level 4 lives in the Content engine that tracks rankings and rewrites: 6 stages with a learning loop.

Which tools can I use to build it?

How much does it cost to build?
As a rough estimate, agencies often quote $4k–$12k for a first version of this workflow, plus monthly tool and AI usage fees. Your quote depends on how many systems are involved and how clean your data is.
How much time does it save?
Our estimate for a small team is about 3–8 hours a week. This is a rough guide, not a measured result; measure your own baseline before you start.
Where does AI actually help?
