# Content Brain

> The context layer the Content Agent writes from — built from your audits, your visibility data and your market.

Before the Blog Agent writes anything, it builds a **Content Brain**: a consolidated understanding of your business, your market and your current performance. Everything the agent produces is grounded in it.

## The four signals

The Brain is assembled from up to four inputs. The build screen shows which are present.

| Signal                   | Source                                                   | Contributes                                                                 |
| ------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Site Audit**           | [Site Audit](/search/site-audit)                         | Technical health, on-page issues and crawlability of your pages             |
| **AI Visibility (GEO)**  | [AI Visibility](/discoverability/ai-visibility/overview) | AI mentions, prompts, citations and content-coverage gaps                   |
| **SERP Intelligence**    | Run on demand                                            | Keyword worthiness and platform gaps that sharpen your content              |
| **Search Console (GSC)** | [Integrations](/workspace/integrations)                  | Optional — real Google impressions and queries that further sharpen content |

<Note>
  A completed **Site Audit** is required. GEO and SERP make the output substantially better; Search Console is optional but is the only signal that reflects real Google demand rather than modelled demand.
</Note>

## What the Brain knows

It's organised into three views:

* **My Business** — who you are, what you sell, how you position it.
* **My Market** — who else competes, what your buyers ask, where the demand is.
* **My Progress** — what you've published, what's working, what's still open.

## Building it

<Steps>
  <Step title="Check your signals">
    The setup screen lists each signal and whether it's ready. Run anything missing.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set your content preferences">
    Author name and content preferences shape tone and attribution. The author is pre-filled from your profile.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Build">
    The build runs through several stages with live progress. It takes a few minutes.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Discovery runs next">
    On a first build, topic discovery is chained automatically so you land on a set of ideas rather than an empty page.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Rebuilding

Rebuild after anything that changes your position: a fresh Site Audit, a new GEO run, a repositioning, or a batch of published content. The Brain reflects the signals as they were at build time.

**View context** shows exactly what the current Brain contains, so you can judge whether it's stale.

<Warning>
  A Brain built before your latest GEO run won't know about the gaps that run found. If your visibility data has moved meaningfully, rebuild before generating content.
</Warning>
