How to set up an AI blog publishing system with ChatGPT Work and Lovable

If your website is built in Lovable, you can connect it to ChatGPT Work and create a recurring workflow that suggests topics, prepares an article and image, and publishes an approved post. The useful part is connecting those steps so you do not have to start from scratch every week.

I have configured this system for Giant Leap AI and used the connected tools to publish this article. The recurring schedule still needs to prove itself over its first runs. Here is how to build your own version, with a person involved at the points where judgment matters.

1. Check what you need before starting

You need an editable Lovable website, access to ChatGPT Work with scheduled tasks and the Lovable plugin available, and image-generation access if you want original visuals.

A ChatGPT account and a Lovable account alone do not establish that every feature is enabled. Check your account and workspace. Also check your available task slots, Lovable credits, and permission to publish the project.

Have your public website URL and Lovable project link ready. Use the web version for this guide so the workflow uses connected services rather than depending on files on your computer.

2. Install and connect the Lovable plugin

In ChatGPT, open the Plugins tab, search for Lovable, open its details, and install it with the plus button. Complete the connection prompt using the Lovable account that can edit your site. Review the requested permissions.

Start a new Work chat. Type @ and select Lovable so the intended plugin is attached to the conversation.

Then give it a small read-only test:

“Use the Lovable plugin to find my existing website: [public URL]. The Lovable project is [project link]. Confirm which project you found, whether you can edit it, and how its blog posts are stored. Do not change or publish anything yet.”

Check the project name and URL before continuing. Finding the right site is a better first test than asking it to redesign your homepage.

3. Define the workflow and its approval rules

Tell ChatGPT what it should do each week and what requires your decision. Keep this in one dedicated chat so the topic options, your replies, and publication reports have a clear home.

My setup has two scheduled tasks:

No approved topic means no publication. If the publishing run cannot find the approval, it must report that rather than guess.

Decide whether topic approval is enough to authorize publication. For my setup, it is. If you want to approve the finished article and image too, use the draft-review variation below.

4. Test one complete post manually

Before creating the recurring schedule, run the process once in the same chat:

“Propose three blog topics for [audience] on my site. For each, provide a title, practical angle, and image concept. Avoid repeating existing posts. Wait for my choice.”

After choosing one, ask:

“Prepare the article and a relevant original header image for the topic I approved. Add them to my existing Lovable site with the blog listing, page description, relevant internal links, and sitemap entry. Show me the finished draft or preview before publishing.”

Review the output. Then explicitly ask it to publish, verify the public article and image, and return the live link.

This tests the whole path: writing, image generation, adding content, deployment, and verification. Depending on your blog, the plugin may update website files or a content database. Ask it to inspect the existing setup and preserve the site design.

5. Create the topic-selection task

Once the manual test works, ask ChatGPT to create the first recurring task. Replace the brackets:

“Create a weekly scheduled task in this chat called Blog Topic Choices. Every Sunday at 9 a.m. [timezone], use the Lovable plugin to review the current blog on [website and project link]. Research and present three distinct topics for [audience]. Include a proposed title, why it is useful, an outline, and a relevant image concept. Recommend one. Ask me to approve a topic by replying with its number or an alternative. Label the options with the intended publication date. Do not edit or publish the site.”

Wait for confirmation that the task was created. Open Scheduled and check its timing and enabled status.

When the options arrive, reply explicitly: “Approve option 2 for the October 12 post.” Including the date prevents an old approval from being reused by mistake.

6. Create the production-and-publishing task

Now create the second task in the same chat:

“Create a weekly task called Publish Approved Blog Post, starting every Monday at 5 a.m. [timezone]. Use the Lovable plugin for [website and project link]. First find my explicit topic approval for this week's publication in this chat. If it is missing, ambiguous, or inaccessible, skip publication and tell me. For the approved topic, research reliable sources, write a useful article for [audience] in [tone], and generate a relevant original header photo with descriptive alt text. Add the complete article, image, metadata, internal links, and sitemap entry using the existing blog structure. Check the build and page, publish to the existing site, then verify that the public article and image load. Return the public link and a short status report. Do not publish without the image, reuse an old approval, duplicate a post on retry, or invent personal experiences. If access, approvals, tools, or deployment fail, report the blocker.”

The scheduled time starts the work; it is not a guarantee the page will be live at that exact minute. Use explicit timezones for both tasks, especially if your audience and your own location differ.

7. Add a finished-draft approval if you want one

Topic approval controls what gets written. Finished-draft approval controls exactly what gets published. Both are valid choices.

For a more supervised setup, replace the publication portion of the second prompt with:

“Prepare the article and image, then send me the preview for review. Do not deploy until I explicitly approve this finished draft. After approval, publish, verify the public page and image, and return the link.”

Your reply could be: “Approve this draft and image for publication.”

This variation requires a human reply before deployment. It will not automatically publish at the original scheduled time unless that approval has already been provided and is available to the publishing run. Test how your chat resumes after approval.

8. Make the publication check part of the system

Ask for a completion report that includes the article title, public URL, image status, and any unresolved issue. A build finishing is not the same as a public page working.

Open the link yourself for the first few runs. Check that the full article appears, the image loads on mobile, and the blog listing links to the post. If something is wrong, reply in the same chat:

“Correct [specific issue] on this post and republish it at the same URL. Verify the change afterward.”

Use Scheduled to inspect runs or pause the workflow. Enable the task notifications available in your account if you want a nudge; confirm they arrive during testing. An extra reminder for unanswered topic choices is a separate instruction, not something to assume.

What this system gives you

The result is a repeatable handoff: AI proposes, you choose, the connected tools produce and publish, and the result comes back for checking.

For a business website, that can make useful content easier to maintain and create more opportunities for organic discovery. Traffic gains still need to be measured. The system is the production process; the value comes from what you choose to publish.

You can adapt the same pattern to tutorials, FAQs, product updates, or resource pages. Start with one tested workflow and keep the human decisions explicit.
