Captain’s AI-driven platform uses performance data to create content that resonates with your audience, driving traffic to your website and social media channels. By analyzing topics and pain points relevant to your brand's audience, Captain crafts a strategy that's both insightful and effective. The strategy is then executed automatically, ensuring that your content is always fresh and engaging.

Automated Collaboration
One of the standout features of Captain is its ability to integrate expert commentary seamlessly into your content. Using audio-to-text automation, Captain repurposes expert insights and turns content into various content formats, including podcasts, videos, and optimized social media posts. Collaborations with experts not only enriches the content but also adds a layer of credibility and authority.
Collaborating with experts has never been easier. Captain allows experts to record their insights using our simple audio recording tool, which is then transcribed and automatically integrated into the content. This streamlined process ensures that the content is both high-quality and authoritative, without requiring extensive manual effort.
Campaign Types
Captain tailors content to different parts of the conversion funnel, ensuring that each piece of content serves a specific purpose. For the top of the funnel, educational content is created to attract and inform potential customers. This content is designed to address common pain points and provide valuable insights, establishing your brand as a trusted authority.
In the middle of the funnel, content such as company announcements and product updates keep your audience engaged and informed. This type of content helps to nurture leads and move them closer to making a purchase decision. At the bottom of the funnel, case studies and competitor comparisons are used to provide the final push needed to convert leads into customers.
Comprehensive Campaigns
Captain’s platform creates and publishes a suite of sales and marketing assets, ensuring that your content strategy is comprehensive and cohesive. This includes:
- 1. Long-form articles
- 2. Fully narrated podcasts

Engage Your Audience Automatically
Optimize Content
Captain’s suite of engagement tools ensures that your content is optimized for maximum impact. When an article is published on your website, these tools are automatically inserted to enhance engagement and conversion. This includes contextual calls to action (CTAs), lead magnets, narrated podcasts, audiograms, and clickable summaries.
These engagement tools are designed to keep your audience engaged and encourage them to take action. For example, a contextual CTA might prompt a reader to download a lead magnet or listen to a narrated podcast, while a clickable summary provides a quick overview of the article, making it easier for readers to digest the content.

Understanding what resonates with your audience is crucial for refining your content strategy. Captain captures data on the topics and pain points that are most effective, allowing you to optimize your content week over week.

Identify & Convert Visitors, Automatically
Identify Visitors
One of the most powerful features of Captain is its ability to identify anonymous visitors to your website. Using advanced tracking technology, Captain captures individual profiles, including name, email, LinkedIn profile, company, title, and location. This information is then sent to your sales team in real-time (on your Dashboard and into Slack), allowing them to follow up with potential leads immediately.
This real-time identification of visitors provides your sales team with valuable insights into who is engaging with your content. By knowing exactly who is visiting your website, your sales team can tailor their outreach efforts to be more personalized and effective, increasing the likelihood of conversion.
