Payload is code-first — your content workflow should be too
Payload gives developers a typed, code-first headless CMS with total control over collections and fields. What it doesn't give you is the content itself, or the ongoing SEO work of keeping every entry optimized. Quilly fills that gap with an AI writer, a full-site auditor, and rank tracking that all speak Payload's API.
Publishing into Payload the right way
Quilly introspects your collection schema before it writes, so generated values are coerced to the correct types — numbers become numbers, checkboxes become booleans — and the article body is converted from HTML into a proper Lexical document rather than a string. It publishes through the Payload REST API and sets _status to control draft versus published, using ?draft=true when appropriate. If a collection has a required upload or relationship field that can't be auto-filled (Payload rejects a plain URL in an upload field), Quilly saves the entry as a draft — which skips required-field validation — and tells you exactly which fields to add, so the item still lands in your CMS.
Audit & optimize your headless pages
Quilly crawls your live site, scores every page, and applies one-click meta title and description fixes directly to your collection items. Alt text, structured data, and thin-content issues are surfaced with a prioritized plan so you always know the highest-impact next move.
