Hey everyone, it's great to be here! We initially created Captain as an internal tool only. It worked well for us, so we wrapped it up and brought it to market for others to use. Creating quality content using AI is hard. Distributing it is even harder. Then, knowing who's engaging with your Content...well, that's a black box. We launched Captain to tackle these primary challenges. 1. CREATE: Captain drives awareness and traffic to your website. 2. ENGAGE: It then engages your visitors with our suite of AI Engagement Tools that are automatically inserted 3. IDENTIFY: It then identifies your website visitors in real-time, so you can close more sales. It's automated and pretty much done without lifting a finger (I mean... there are a few buttons you'll need to push for some of it). We like to say it delivers "Content that fills your sales pipeline, automatically." It's best for brands looking to: 1. Launch Content Marketing and Lead Gen (no existing content or strategy) 2. OR, Scale Content Marketing and Lead Gen. If you have existing content, Captain will automatically optimize it for Engagement with the Tools in seconds, identify visitors, and streamline your strategy and creation There's no coding and no development required. 60 seconds and you're all set. It's a simple copy and paste into your CMS and you're done. You'll see website Leads being identified within about 5 mins, Engagement data from your content will follow shortly after that and you Content Calendar defined for the following 30 days. There are a bunch of awesome features to Captain that you should check out on the quick video included, but some I'm particularly proud of are: 1. Automated 30-day Content strategy based on your performance data and topics + pain points that are resonating 2. Automated Google Research: gives you control over what research, insights, and sources are included in your content. 3. Top, Middle, and Bottom of the funnel: Create Educational Campaigns, Case Studies, Competitor Comparisons, and Company Announcements with a click. 4. Content Collaboration / Expert Perspectives: easily collect experts' perspectives and commentary using audio, which is then injected into the content as quotes, paraphrasing etc (great for distribution too, as they're tagged in Web and Social). 5. Multi-channel, multimedia content: creates a suite of Marketing and Sales materials from automated Podcasts, Infographics, Lead Magnets, Articles, Brand and Personal Social Posts, Newsletters, and more. 6. Contextual CTAs that are created in real-time and inserted into your content to match what the user is reading. 7. Profiles of actual website visitors (warmest leads) pinged to you on Captain and in Slack the leads Name, LinkedIn profile, Email, Title, Company, and more. We're offering a FREE trial that lets you create a couple of Campaigns as well as get 100 Profile Leads (profile details of people visiting your site). It takes about 60 seconds to get activated and take it for a spin. Would love to hear your feedback! Thanks for having us.

🤩 Neat! One question: How does this comply with privacy laws in EU / US? If it can identify who visitors are in real time? 😅
Richard McBeath
@sentry_co we can identify US site visitors only and is fully compliant with US privacy and data laws. And yep - will identify site visitors in real time and ping you both on your Captain dashboard and in Slack

Hello @richard_mcbeath and team! What a fascinating product launch! Captain appears to address some of the most pressing pain points in the content marketing and lead generation spaces with a suite of tools that could significantly streamline how businesses engage with their audience and identify potential leads. The concept of coupling AI to not only assist in creating content but also enhancing engagement and demystifying visitor interactions is a compelling proposition. The fact that Captain was initially an internal tool that proved its efficacy before being offered to the market adds a layer of credibility and real-world validation to its capabilities. It suggests that the tool has undergone rigorous internal testing and refinement to ensure it meets the demands and complexities of content marketing strategy.

This is an amazing app. Well done!

congrats on the launch. considering captain automates content creation and optimization, how does it ensure the content remains unique and engaging across different brands that might have similar topics? also, how does it handle varying industry nuances in content tone and detail?
Adam York
Congratulations on the launch of Captain! This tool sounds like a game-changer for professionals like me. The ability to create, engage, and identify visitors automatically is invaluable for streamlining our efforts and boosting productivity. How does Captain handle different content formats and adapt strategies for varying audience segments? This is crucial for tailoring our approach. Looking forward to giving it a try!
Richard McBeath
@adamyork thanks loads! Captains output includes text, imagery and audio right now. Video launching soon. You can actually select your specific ICPs your creating a campaign for and it will tailor the content to them. You can also add different Personas or authors on Captain. So let’s say you want to create content from the perspective of your CEO, or your CTO. Both these individuals will have their own tone and cover different angles when creating content. Like choosing what ICP or audience segment you’re creating content for - you can also select who’s creating the content and it’ll come from their perspective
Adam York
@richard_mcbeath That sounds really helpful for content creators! The ability to tailor it as you described will be especially beneficial. Nice!

Layla Jackson
This looks like a powerful tool for scaling content marketing efforts. Do you have any plans to include analytics dashboards for tracking content performance over time?
Ryan Fochtman
@layla_jacks0n I can jump in here! Yes, there is a dashboard for tracking web and social analytics. It also shows you the topics and pain points resonating most with your audience. If you have time, check out the video in the above carousel, it will walk you through our demo =) Here for reference -
Lily Djahanbakhsh
Congratulations on the launch but I have a question, one problem i typically have with AI-created content is that it sometimes over uses adjectives and makes it obviously AI-generated. Is there anything you're doing to help with that?
Richard McBeath
@lilyjahan let’s “delve” in ;) Yes there’s loads we’re doing here. We have numerous layers of QA baked into Captain that strips out these uncommon and over used metaphors, comparative structures (eg “is not only x but y”) and many others. We also have a long list of blacklist words and phrases which strip these out
Pascal Unger
Been using it for a few months now and the product is honestly amazing! Very much worth giving it a shot!
Richard McBeath
@pascal_focal_vc thanks Pascal. Great to hear!
Kyrylo Silin
Congrats on the launch, Richard! Captain sounds like a powerful tool. The automated 30-day content strategy feature is particularly intriguing. How does Captain ensure that the content created aligns well with a brand's unique voice and style? Also, could you share any success stories or specific examples of how Captain has significantly boosted engagement and lead generation for your users?
Richard McBeath
@kyrylosilin excellent questions. We actually have what we call a “tone extraction engine”. Once you add your domain, Captain analyses everything about that brand/business. It instantly learns the products or services offered, defines the ICPs and - the brands tone. It breaks the tone out into Key Attributes, Avoidance Guidelines and Creation Guidelines. You can also set your brand “Guardrails”. We have a lot of more regulated companies using Captain like Finance cos etc, so need to ensure that very specific guidelines are followed
Trent Kennelly
Fantastic use of AI! AI tools are very often just NOT helpful for this sort of thing, but I really love the constant analysis this tool utilizes (as opposed to other tools that you have to constantly prompt for analysis. Great work!
Richard McBeath
@trent_kennelly thanks for the feedback…and I agree 😉
