The problem this solves
A blog written with care and illustrated with whatever was available sends a mixed signal. Stock photos repeat across posts, some articles have no hero at all, and the ones that do rarely share a visual language. Every reader who lands from search sees the mismatch before reading a word, and every social share goes out with an image that undersells the writing. The fix is obvious and perpetually postponed, because ten custom heroes is real design work.
The postponement has a structural cause: hero art is never the most urgent task. New posts, campaigns, and product work always outrank retrofitting old articles, so the backlog survives every sprint planning session. Meanwhile the old posts keep doing quiet work - ranking, getting shared, sitting in onboarding emails - each impression carrying a weaker visual than the writing deserves. A one-mission retrofit ends the standoff without taking a designer off anything current.
How the mission runs
- Read the last ten posts. The agent uses Web Research to pull your ten most recent blog posts and actually reads them: the argument, the audience, and the image each one deserves. Every hero gets a topic-specific concept, so the set avoids the interchangeable-abstract-gradient look that generic illustration programs fall into.
- Lock the visual system. One system governs all ten images: your palette, one illustration style, one compositional grammar. The agent proposes it with a small sample at draft quality, you approve or redirect in the thread, and only then does production begin. Consistency is decided once instead of hoped for ten times.
- Generate ten heroes. Image Generation renders each post's hero in landscape format from the approved system - concept iteration at draft quality where needed, final assets at final quality. Each image is composed for hero placement: strong focal point, space that tolerates headline overlays, and legibility at both full-width and card sizes.
- Stage the updates in Webflow. The agent stages each new hero against its matching post as a Webflow draft. Nothing is published; the live site keeps its current images while the drafts hold the replacements. You get a review surface inside your own CMS instead of a folder of files someone still has to place.
- Hand over the review map. The mission closes with a checklist in the thread: each post title, its old state, and the staged draft holding the new hero. You review in Webflow, request swaps for any hero that misses, and publish the set whenever you choose - one at a time or all at once.
The prompt
This is the exact objective the agent receives. Swap the obvious placeholders for your own domain, segment or channel and run it as-is from the console, Slack, or the API.
What comes back
Ten branded landscape hero images, one per post, generated at final quality from a single approved visual system and staged against their matching posts as Webflow drafts. The live site stays untouched until you publish. A closing checklist in the thread maps every post to its staged draft, so the review takes minutes and the publish is a deliberate human action inside your own CMS.
Make it yours
- Extend the sweep to your twenty most-trafficked posts rather than the most recent ten, prioritizing the pages where a stronger hero meets the most readers.
- Have the agent produce two system candidates at draft quality first - one photographic, one illustrated - and render the full set only in the direction you pick.
- Make it a standing habit: every new post automatically gets a system-matched hero staged as a draft within the same publishing cycle.
Frequently asked questions
How closely will the heroes follow my brand?
The system is built from your brand kit and approved by you before production. Palette, style, and composition rules are locked at the sample stage, so all ten finals inherit them automatically. If your kit lacks illustration guidance, the approved sample becomes that guidance going forward.
What happens if one hero misses the mark?
Point at it in the thread and the agent regenerates that single image inside the same system, leaving the other nine untouched. Because concepts iterate at draft quality before finals render, an individual swap is fast and does not restart the mission or the review.
Can the agent publish the drafts itself?
Staging and publishing are deliberately separated. The mission writes drafts only; publishing stays a human action in Webflow. That boundary means the retrofit can run any time without risk to the live site, and your editorial review remains the last gate before readers see anything.
