AutoBlog AI - Self-Hosted Blog Automation

AutoBlog AI is a self-hosted AI-powered blogging and content automation system built for website owners, marketers, niche publishers and creators who want to automate content production while keeping full control of their website and data. Install AutoBlog AI on your own PHP/MySQL hosting, connect your preferred AI provider and start creating professional blog content without paying another monthly SaaS subscription. AI-POWERED ARTICLE CREATION Create complete articles manually or with AI assistance. AutoBlog AI supports multiple AI providers including OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini and DeepSeek. Generate article content, SEO metadata, tags and image search suggestions while keeping the ability to edit everything before publishing. BULK TITLE IMPORT & CONTENT QUEUE Import up to 300 article titles from TXT or CSV files and add them to the generation queue. Choose the category, language, target article length and publishing mode before processing the queue. The background worker processes articles in small batches to remain suitable for typical shared hosting environments. BLOG AUTOMATION Create recurring automation rules for daily, weekly or monthly content generation. Configure categories, language, publishing behavior, article length and other options and let AutoBlog AI handle recurring content creation. AI generation and image processing use controlled queues instead of launching hundreds of requests at once. STOCK IMAGE INTEGRATION Search for relevant featured images directly from the article editor. Supported image providers: • Unsplash for assisted/manual image selection • Pexels • Pixabay Automated image jobs can use supported unattended providers and save images locally to your website. Image source and photographer attribution information can also be stored with the article. 10 RESPONSIVE BLOG THEMES • Magazine Editorial • Classic Lifestyle • Clean Journal • Dark Editorial • Masonry • Editorial Grid • Contrast Magazine • Bento Stories • Studio Cards • Collage Journal Switch themes from the administration panel without reinstalling the application.

Legal templates are provided as a starting point only and do not constitute legal advice. MULTI-LANGUAGE ADMINISTRATION The administration interface includes English and German language packs.

CONTENT MANAGEMENT Manage your blog from one administration area with dashboard statistics, articles, categories, pages, content calendar, WYSIWYG editing, featured images, AI generation, bulk title import, automation rules, menus, themes, languages, SEO, advertising, analytics and media settings. ADVERTISING SUPPORT Built-in advertising positions allow custom ad code in areas such as the header, content feed, sidebar and footer. Each position can be enabled or disabled individually. SELF-HOSTED - YOUR DATA, YOUR CONTROL AutoBlog AI is installed on your own web hosting. There is no required AutoBlog AI SaaS subscription and your blog content remains on your own server. For AI functionality, customers connect their own supported AI provider API keys. Third-party API usage may incur separate charges from the respective provider.
