Autopilot
Autopilot is the Fix Generator tab for fixing gaps end to end. On Starter it fixes related gaps together — one merged fix per topic group (see Group fixes). On Pro and Enterprise it adds everything below. A run works one missed prompt — or one group — at a time. It figures out why AI engines skip you for that question, prepares the fix that matches the cause, and checks whether it worked after you publish. It is a co-pilot: nothing reaches your site until you approve it and publish it yourself.
How a run works
Pick a gap
Fix Generator → Autopilot. Start from Suggested next fixes — your gaps ranked by how many engines skipped you, buyer intent and competitor pressure — or any missed prompt. Nothing runs until you click Run Autopilot.
Diagnose
Autopilot reads the evidence from your scan — which engines skipped you, which sources and competitors they cited, and your site's crawler, llms.txt and schema checks — and decides which kind of fix the gap needs. Simulated engines (Copilot, Meta AI, Google AI Overviews) are shown as modeled, never used as evidence.
Prepare the fix
Content, site files, or an action plan — see the three fix types below. Drafts are checked automatically (answer-first, no invented claims or competitor names, valid schema) before you see them.
You approve
Review and edit the draft, then approve — or reject it. Runs waiting on you are pinned to the top of the Autopilot tab.
You publish
Copy the approved blocks or files onto your own site, then click I've published it. TrueCite never publishes anything for you.
Verify
Autopilot rescans that prompt on your plan's engines 14 days later (45 days for authority plans) and shows how many engines cite you now. Treat it as a signal, not proof — AI answers vary from run to run.
The three fix types
Content
No page answers the question well. Autopilot writes an answer-first FAQ block, answer paragraphs and FAQPage JSON-LD with the Fix Generator, then reviews it for usefulness. A draft that fails the checks is rewritten once for free before it reaches you.
Technical
Something on your site stops AI engines reading it — a crawler blocked in robots.txt, no llms.txt, or no Organization schema. Autopilot prepares just the missing site files and re-checks your site the moment you publish. Crawler blocks you set on purpose (by name, or for model training) are shown as a choice — Autopilot never unblocks them for you. One technical fix covers your whole site, so later gaps with the same cause point to it.
Authority
Engines lean on third-party sources (review sites, communities, press) for this question. Autopilot ranks the sources the engines actually cited for this prompt into a checklist you can tick off — no outreach is written or sent for you. When a press mention goes live, turn it into on-site content with Authority Capture.
Fixing a group of prompts at once
Under Fix related gaps together (the former Smart fixes), Run with Autopilot on a group card hands the whole group (up to 10 prompts) to one run. Autopilot diagnoses each prompt, writes one answer-first fix covering every prompt that needs content, and splits the rest into their own site-file fixes or authority plans. You approve and publish the group once, and every covered prompt is rescanned together 14 days later, with a result for each prompt. Suggested next fixes points you to the group when several suggestions share a topic.
Plans and cost
- Diagnosis, verification and site-file / authority fixes are available on Pro and Enterprise. Group fixes are available from Starter.
- A content run uses 1 fix from your monthly allowance (Pro: 200 fixes/month). The free rewrite does not use another.
- Technical fixes and authority plans use no fix credit.
- The verify rescan uses 1 prompt from your scan budget. If you are out of prompts, it waits and retries the next day.
- A group run uses 1 fix for the whole group, and its rescan uses 1 prompt per covered prompt.
- Up to 3 runs can be in progress or waiting on you at once — a group run counts as one.
Finished runs collapse into a compact history list. Archive the ones you no longer need — archived runs are hidden, never deleted, and you can show them again any time.
