AI Agents are Hygraph's intelligent automation assistants designed to handle repetitive content workflows, such as translation, summarization, and SEO optimization. Powered by integrated large language models (LLMs), agents understand your project's schema and context, applying automation to specific fields or entries based on the configuration you define.

Instead of manually handling routine editorial tasks, you configure an agent once and let it run automatically at the right stage of your content workflow. Tasks that previously required manual effort, such as generating SEO reports, translating content across locales, or condensing long-form copy, can now be handled with a single workflow step.

#Key benefits

• Workflow automation at scale: Automate repetitive tasks like SEO analysis, translation, and summarization without developer intervention or one-off scripts.
• Consistent brand voice: Agents apply your custom instructions on every run, maintaining tone and structure consistency across all content and locales.
• Editorial control: Agents integrate into your existing content workflows, so automation happens at the right stage.
• Permission-aware by default: Agents respect your project's existing roles and content permissions, ensuring automation stays within your governance boundaries.
• Flexible triggering: Agents can run automatically as entries move through workflow steps, keeping your pipeline efficient without manual intervention.

#What you can do

#SEO expert

The SEO expert agent can:

• Review all entry fields automatically, including nested components.
• Generate a structured SEO report with feedback on content optimization.
• Post the report as a comment on the entry for editorial review.
• Run at any configured workflow step, such as pre-publish or review.

#Translation agent

The Translation agent can:

• Translate content fields into one or more target locales.
• Preserve tone, structure, and meaning across languages.
• Apply custom translation instructions, such as formality level or untranslated terms.
• Run automatically when entries reach the configured workflow step.

#Content summarizer

The Content summarizer agent can:

• Generate concise summaries from one or more long-form source fields.
• Write the output directly into a target field on the same entry.
• Apply a specified tone and follow custom instructions for length or focus.
• Run automatically at the configured workflow step.

#Permissions

Agent access is governed by your project's existing role and permission configuration. The table below summarizes what is required.

#Availability and token usage

AI Agents is available on the Enterprise plan only. Each project receives a set number of AI tokens per billing period. You can view your current usage and limits at any time on the Billing page.

#Model information

Hygraph uses the latest Claude models to power AI tasks such as SEO analysis, content summarization, and translation. These models are selected for their quality, accuracy, and efficiency.

We are continuously testing new models to improve performance and reliability. Model versions may be updated over time as newer releases become available. Updates are applied automatically to maintain optimal results.

#Example use cases

SEO optimization:

• Automatically review every blog post before it moves to the publish step and receive a structured SEO report as an entry comment.
• Identify missing meta descriptions or weak heading structures across all entry fields.

Translation:

• Translate all localizable fields into French, German, and Spanish as soon as a content entry is approved in the source locale.
• Apply custom instructions such as Keep product names untranslated to ensure consistency across all target languages.

Summarization:

• Generate a 2–3 sentence excerpt from a long-form article body and write it to the summary field automatically.
• Produce concise overviews of product descriptions for use in listing pages or meta descriptions.

Combined workflows:

• Run the Content summarizer to generate a short excerpt, then pair it with the SEO expert to validate the metadata before publishing.
• Use the Translation agent after the SEO expert to ensure localized content benefits from the same SEO feedback as the source locale.

#Safety guardrails

AI Agents are designed to support, not replace, editorial review. The following guardrails are built in to prevent unintended changes:

• Agents only write to the fields and models you explicitly configure.
• Agents cannot delete entries, unpublish content, or modify schema elements.
• All agent runs are logged and visible in the Recent activity panel on each agent card.
• Agents only trigger for entries that move through the specific workflow and workflow step you configure.

This ensures that AI-assisted automation cannot unintentionally remove or overwrite content outside of its defined scope.
