Contributor guidelines

Have you built, tested, researched or deployed an AI agent? Write for us about artificial intelligence with a clear connection to agents, automation and the people using them. AgentsCalling welcomes original reporting, practical tutorials, evidence-based analysis and informed perspectives that help readers understand what works, what fails and why it matters.

We review every submission for relevance, originality and accuracy. Sending a pitch does not guarantee acceptance, publication, product coverage or a backlink.

Who should contribute?

We welcome developers, researchers, security practitioners, operators, founders and independent writers with relevant expertise. You do not need a large following. You do need a useful idea, credible evidence and the ability to explain it clearly.

If you are looking for an AI guest post opportunity, read these guidelines before emailing us. We select contributions for their value to readers, and our editors retain control over headlines, content and links.

AI topics we accept

  • Building AI agents: orchestration, tool use, memory, evaluation, deployment, observability and human approval.
  • Automation and implementation: real workflows, integration guides, implementation failures and lessons from production.
  • Protocols and infrastructure: MCP, agent interoperability, identity, permissions, sandboxes and supporting developer tools.
  • Security and reliability: prompt injection, data exposure, access controls, testing and documented incident analysis.
  • Research and benchmarks: original findings with transparent methods, limitations and reproducible evidence where possible.
  • Business and adoption: measured outcomes, operating costs, procurement, workforce implications and market analysis grounded in evidence.

Broader artificial intelligence topics must have a meaningful connection to AI agents or agentic workflows. Browse our analysis and developer coverage to understand the publication’s focus.

What makes a strong submission?

A strong contribution answers a specific question and adds something readers cannot get from a product landing page or a rewritten announcement. Useful examples include a workflow you tested, a deployment that failed and what you changed, an independently assessed product limitation, or original data with a clear explanation of how it was collected.

For example, a documented account of how you evaluated an agent’s tool permissions is more useful than a generic article listing the benefits of AI. A case study should explain the starting point, implementation, measurement period, results and limitations.

Strict editorial requirements

1. Submit original work

Articles must be original and unpublished when submitted. Tell us if the same pitch or draft is being considered elsewhere. We reject plagiarism, article spinning, lightly rewritten coverage and work that misrepresents someone else’s research as your own.

2. Show relevant experience

Explain why you are qualified to write the piece. Distinguish what you personally tested or observed from what a vendor, study or another publication reports. Do not imply hands-on testing when you have only reviewed marketing material.

3. Make claims verifiable

Link factual claims to reliable sources, prioritizing original documentation, research papers, datasets and attributable statements. For a reported story, include primary evidence and independent corroboration where available. Clearly identify claims that remain unverified. Fabricated quotes, statistics, citations and customer results are grounds for rejection.

4. Explain methods and limitations

Benchmarks, comparisons and case studies must explain the tools or model versions, test conditions, sample size or measurement period, and relevant limitations. Distinguish estimates from measured results. Include costs and failure cases when they affect the conclusion.

5. Write for readers

Use clear English, descriptive headings and concrete examples. Explain unfamiliar terms. Most contributed explainers and tutorials should be around 1,000 to 2,000 words, but the subject determines the appropriate length. Avoid filler, repetitive introductions and keyword stuffing.

6. Disclose AI assistance

If generative AI materially assisted with drafting, analysis, code or visuals, explain how in your submission. You remain responsible for every claim, citation and example. We reject unchecked generated drafts and generic content without original insight. AI assistance does not replace expertise or verification.

7. Disclose commercial relationships

Declare employment, consulting, investment, affiliate, client and other relevant relationships with organizations or products discussed. Identify pitches submitted by agencies or public relations representatives. A founder’s perspective can be useful, but it must be clearly attributed and supported by evidence.

8. Let editors decide on links

Include links that substantiate claims or help readers. We may remove or change links and anchor text. No guaranteed link count, dofollow status, keyword anchor, permanent placement or search ranking is offered. Paid links, where applicable, are qualified appropriately and commercial content is clearly disclosed.

9. Provide usable visuals

Submit only images, screenshots, charts and other assets you own or have permission to publish. Supply source information, required credits, captions and a brief description for accessibility. Charts must identify their data sources. Remove private information from screenshots.

10. Provide a verifiable byline

Include the actual author’s full name, a short relevant biography, a verifiable professional profile and writing samples if available. Accepted contributed articles carry an appropriate byline. Do not submit under a fabricated identity or pass off an undisclosed author’s work as your own.

11. Accept editorial review

We may request supporting evidence, revisions or clarification and edit accepted work for accuracy, clarity, length and publication style. We may decline a submission at any stage before publication. Published work may be corrected or updated when warranted. Tell us promptly if you discover an error.

What we reject

  • Generic AI summaries, copied news and mass-produced guest articles.
  • Promotional copy presented as independent reporting or an impartial review.
  • Unsupported “best tool” lists, exaggerated claims and invented comparisons.
  • Link insertions, backlink-only proposals and submissions conditional on SEO links.
  • Unrelated topics, including gambling, adult content and other material outside our editorial focus.
  • Content using data, code, images or quotations without appropriate permission or attribution.

How to submit an AI article pitch

Email contact@agentscalling.com with the subject Article pitch: [Your proposed headline]. Start with a pitch rather than writing a full article specifically for us before we have expressed interest.

  1. The idea: a proposed headline and a 150 to 250 word explanation of the question, argument and reader benefit.
  2. The outline: the main sections and what is original about your contribution.
  3. The evidence: key sources, relevant data, testing details and any planned visuals.
  4. The author: your name, relevant experience, professional profile and up to two writing samples.
  5. The disclosures: commercial relationships, material AI assistance, publication status and any simultaneous submissions.

If a draft already exists, you may include a viewable document link with your pitch. Do not send executable files or require our editors to request document access. Keep the initial email focused on one proposed article.

Submit a news tip, research finding or AI launch

Have a development our newsroom should investigate? You can submit an AI story without offering to write an article. Email contact@agentscalling.com with the subject News tip: [Company or topic].

  • Explain what happened, when it happened and why it matters to people building or using AI agents.
  • Include original documentation, research, a public announcement, a working product link or other supporting evidence.
  • State your relationship to the organization and provide a contact for follow-up questions.
  • Clearly flag any proposed embargo before sharing restricted material. An embargo applies only if we expressly agree to it.

Press releases may help us assess a story, but we do not promise to publish them verbatim. A tip, launch announcement or product access does not guarantee coverage, a favorable review or publication on a requested date.

What happens after you email us?

We assess the fit, originality and supporting evidence before deciding whether to proceed. If interested, we may request an outline, draft, interview or additional material. There is no automatic acceptance or guaranteed response time, and we cannot reply individually to every submission.

You retain ownership of submitted work. Any publication permissions or commercial terms will be agreed before acceptance. Do not assume an assignment, payment or publication commitment until it has been confirmed in writing.

Contributor FAQs

Can I write for you about AI beyond agents?

Yes, when the article has a clear connection to agent development, automation, security, infrastructure or business adoption. General technology articles without that connection are unlikely to fit.

Do you accept AI guest posts from founders or agencies?

We consider relevant pitches from both. Identify the actual author and disclose the company or client relationship. The same evidence and editorial requirements apply to every submission.

Can I include a link to my company?

You can propose a relevant link, but editors decide whether it helps readers and how it is presented. Acceptance does not include a backlink entitlement or a promise about link attributes.

Can I submit an existing article?

You may send an unpublished draft. Tell us about any previous publication, distribution or simultaneous consideration. Republished content is outside our standard contributor process and requires separate editorial agreement.

Is submitting a story the same as contributing an article?

No. A news tip provides information for our newsroom to evaluate and report. A contributor pitch proposes an article you would author. Use the appropriate email subject so we can understand your request.

Have a story worth explaining?

Send a focused pitch, show your evidence and tell us why you are the right person to write it.
