Machined is a content cluster automation platform built to take SEO content from keyword research through publishing without spreadsheet-based planning. The company was founded in 2023 and has grown as a self-funded, bootstrapped operation without outside investment.
The platform clusters keywords automatically to avoid content cannibalization, then generates research-backed articles with citations and builds internal links across published pieces. It integrates multiple image models, including Nano Banana, Flux, and DALL-E 3, to generate featured images, and connects directly to content management systems for publishing. A Bring Your Own Key option lets customers pay their AI provider directly for usage rather than through a subscription markup.
Machined suits marketers and agencies scaling content production who want cluster-level planning rather than one article at a time. The Free plan covers 5 articles per month; paid tiers run Launch at $19 per month (30 articles), Growth at $49 per month (100 articles, the most popular tier), Pro at $99 per month (250 articles), and Scale at $249 per month (750 articles), with a 3-day trial of the Launch plan and 25% off on annual billing.
