How to publish and update articles with your AI

Connect your agent to Joomla and manage your entire content lifecycle through a single chat window.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

How can I use AI to manage my Joomla content?

Your agent uses specific tools to create new posts, edit existing ones, or pull up article details for review. You get full control over your CMS without ever logging into the Joomla backend. This setup lets you move from a rough draft to a live page in one conversation.

Content outcomes

Where your content goes.

The AI handles the heavy lifting in the CMS, leaving you to focus on the writing.

NEW

Live articles

The agent pushes your finished drafts directly to your site. Your new posts appear in Joomla immediately.

EDIT

Updated posts

You can fix typos or change headlines by simply telling your agent what to change. It applies the edits to the live article.

READ

Content audits

The agent pulls specific article data so you can check metadata or body text. This makes reviewing your work easy.

MANUAL

Human review

You decide when a draft is ready for the web. The AI waits for your signal before making any changes permanent.

The workflow

What your AI does when a request arrives.

The agent translates your natural language instructions into direct CMS actions.

  1. Drafting

    Your agent takes your ideas and formats them into a structured article ready for the CMS.

    create_cms_article

  2. Reviewing

    The agent looks up existing content to ensure the details and formatting are correct.

    get_article_details

  3. Modifying

    You can request specific changes to a live post, and the agent updates the content accordingly.

    patch_cms_article

  4. Removing

    If a post is no longer needed, the agent can strip it from your Joomla site.

    delete_cms_article

    Can the AI design my website layout?

    You don't need to log in to create or edit articles, though you can still use the dashboard if you prefer.

  • 04

    No. This specific set of tools is limited to article text and metadata.
