FAQ

FAQ

Practical, real concerns with detailed answers.

The agent sources AI news via NewsAPI and uses the Qdrant vector store to retrieve contextual data. It does not assume or expose personal data beyond what is intentionally logged in Google Sheets for workflow auditing. News content is filtered by recency and relevance to keep posts timely. All data handling follows typical API usage patterns configured by the user. You can adjust source parameters to fit your needs.

Yes. Tone and style are controlled by the system prompts and prompt templates used by GPT-4o-mini. You can modify the system message to set voice, formality, and audience focus. Post drafts will reflect the chosen tone unless you override per item. There is also an option to apply a style preset for consistency across all posts.

Posts are published via the LinkedIn Developer API after an item is approved in Google Sheets. You must configure LinkedIn API credentials and consent scopes in your environment. The workflow supports manual approvals or scheduled posting. You can also generate drafts for review before publishing.

If a post is rejected, the status is updated in Google Sheets with a reason. The agent can re-run generation using updated prompts or news items. Rejected items stay in the log for auditability, ensuring you can revisit decisions later. You can customize rejection criteria and retry logic as needed.

Yes. Every draft, decision, and status change is logged in Google Sheets with timestamps for traceability. The log supports filtering by date, news item, or approval decision. This makes it easy to review content decisions in meetings or for compliance. You can export the sheet as needed for records.

Set OPENAI_API_KEY, NEWSAPI_KEY, and QDRANT_URL/QDRANT_API_KEY as environment variables for the AI agent. OAuth credentials are required for Gmail access and LinkedIn posting. Google Sheets document IDs must be configured in the workflow. The agent assumes secure handling of credentials and offers rotation and revocation options.

The agent applies recency checks and relevance scoring when selecting items for post generation. If a news item is deemed outdated, it is deprioritized or discarded from drafts. You can adjust the recency window to fit your posting cadence. This helps maintain timely and accurate content.
