A searchable file tree next to an interactive knowledge graph. Hover a node to trace what it connects to, click it to read or edit. Useful when you want to know why an agent wrote something the way it did.
One workspace holds your brand knowledge, writes with it, schedules it, publishes it, and learns from what happened. Here's every piece, in order.

01 · Knowledge
Your company's marketing knowledge, stored once and read by every agent before it writes anything. Nothing in here changes silently, every edit an agent wants to make arrives as a proposal you approve or reject.
A searchable file tree next to an interactive knowledge graph. Hover a node to trace what it connects to, click it to read or edit. Useful when you want to know why an agent wrote something the way it did.
Five cards that define the company: Soul, Style, Positioning, ICP and Pitch. Each one is editable, and each edit routes through approval so two people can't quietly disagree about the voice.
Upload real brand photography as reference images. Generated visuals draw on them, so the output looks like your company rather than like stock AI art.
Reference documents the brain draws on whenever it writes: PDF, Word, plain text, Markdown and CSV, up to 10 MB each. Product docs, research, past campaigns, whatever the writing should be grounded in.
A reverse-chronological feed of what the brain has concluded from your results, each with the delta that triggered it and an Applied or Reverted status. Disagree with one? Revert it in a click.
Per-channel rules the brain has earned: which formats win on LinkedIn, which hooks land on Reddit, which posting windows are worth testing. This is what makes the tenth post better than the first.
02 · Creation
One draft, two ways to work on it, and a preview for every network it's going to.
Ask for a change in chat, or type it yourself in the composer, both tabs edit the same post. Switch mid-sentence without losing anything.
The publish button is a split control with four delivery modes, and it respects your role, if you can't publish, it reads "Send for approval" instead.
Reddit, Hacker News, Indie Hackers and launch emails all reward being posted by a human. BrightBean drafts those in a manual composer and hands them over ready to paste, so they stay part of the same plan instead of living in someone's notes app.
03 · Scheduling
Separate calendars for social and blog, both showing every connected account in one place.
Zoom out to see the quarter's rhythm, or into a single day to fix a clash.
Move a post to another slot by dragging it. No dialog, no re-approval.
By status, channel, tag and timezone, so a five-account week stays readable.
Your posting schedule shows its unfilled slots on the calendar, so gaps are obvious.
Each connected account gets its own seven-day grid of time slots. Set "LinkedIn, weekdays, 9am and 4pm" once and every post routed to Next available lands there. The same page shows account health and lets you disconnect.
04 · Long-form
Everything between "we should write about this" and "it's live on the site", inside one workspace.
Calendar or list view of everything planned, drafted and published. The editor pairs a rich-text canvas with a chat tab, a metadata panel for slug, category and tags, an AI-generated featured image, and a Sources list showing what the article was grounded in.
Three ways in, Ask for live SERP and volume research, run a Playbook, or just Add keywords you already know. Candidates collect in a shared workbench; approve the good ones and schedule them straight onto free days.
A curated catalog of 56 directories across five groups, General, SaaS, AI, Industry and Germany. BrightBean writes each listing from your brain, in the right language, and tracks which ones you've submitted. You still submit them yourself.
A searchable table of every article you've published. Open any row and the same composer becomes a rewriter, refresh the piece, then republish it in place at the original URL.

05 · Control
One queue for everything waiting on a human, tabbed by All, Social, Blog and Brain. Approve in bulk, or open a drawer to read the full artifact first.
See the post as each network will render it before it goes anywhere.
Read the full piece with its sources, then approve or send it back.
Proposed edits to your knowledge, shown as plain-English before and after, not a diff you have to decode.
06 · The loop closing
Most tools stop at the dashboard. This is the step that makes the rest of the product compound.
Performance data turns into candidate learnings, "carousels outperform single images on LinkedIn by 2.4×", which land in your review inbox as proposals. Approve one and every future draft accounts for it. Revert it later and they stop.
Google Analytics 4 connects by granting access to a service account BrightBean provisions for your workspace, so there are no keys to manage.
07 · Bring your own agent
BrightBean works in the browser on its own. If your team already pays for a coding agent, you can run it on that instead.

Runs on the agent you already pay for
No second AI bill. The brain, your channels and your blog are each an MCP server, so whatever speaks MCP can drive them.
The brain, your social accounts, the crawler, your blog and the self-improvement loop are each exposed as an MCP server, so any MCP-speaking client can drive them.
A macOS app runs your own Claude Code or Codex CLI against those servers over stdio. Your subscription, your machine, your keys, and a Local folder connector for static sites.
Research falls through four tiers, plain fetch, public extractors, browser rendering, then a full browser on a residential proxy, so pages that block scrapers still come back.
08 · Connections
Eleven social networks to publish to, eleven ways to get an article onto your own site, and three data sources feeding the loop.
11 networks
11 connectors
2 sources
Building on YouTube specifically? BrightBean's YouTube Intelligence API scores titles, thumbnails and hooks, and ships as a REST API and MCP server.
09 · Setup and teams
Who am I · Voice & style · Connect. Feed it links, upload files, or just write a few sentences, whatever you have. The brain fills in from there.
Owner, Admin, Member and Viewer, with invites per organisation. Publishing rights are a permission, which is what makes the review inbox meaningful.
One organisation can run several workspaces, each with its own brain, connections and blog settings. Useful for agencies, sub-brands and separate markets.
Four stat cards with sparklines, 30-day impressions, engagement rate, pending approvals and the next scheduled run, over what's coming up, what needs approving (approvable inline), and a feed of what your brain learned recently.
BrightBean is in early access. Set up your workspace in a few minutes and see what it drafts.
