# Understand content asset types and states

Reference the generated text, clip, editorial, and generation states available to agents.

## Content families

* Core text: blog draft, newsletter, social post, pull quote, title variant, and description variant.
* Extended text: SEO article, LinkedIn announcement, newsletter block, internal communication, landing page, cluster post, expert thread, help article, conference abstract, and webinar outline.
* Clips: generic clip, audio clip, legacy platform-specific video clips, and vertical, square, or horizontal video and composed-video formats.

Use the exact `asset_type` returned by Podigee when you filter or inspect an asset.

## Editorial status

| Status     | Meaning                                             |
| ---------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| `draft`    | The asset still needs review or editing.            |
| `ready`    | The asset is ready for its intended downstream use. |
| `archived` | The asset is no longer active for normal reuse.     |

## Generation status

| Status       | Meaning                                            |
| ------------ | -------------------------------------------------- |
| `idle`       | No active generation is recorded.                  |
| `queued`     | Generation is waiting to start.                    |
| `processing` | Generation is in progress.                         |
| `completed`  | Generation finished or a stored body is available. |
| `failed`     | Generation did not complete.                       |

Editorial status and generation status answer different questions. A completed generation can still be an editorial draft.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.podigee.com/documentation/start-here/ai-agents/search-and-repurpose-episode-content/understand-content-asset-types-and-states.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
