Article Generation

Generation Overview

How the AI creates your articles step by step

The Generation Pipeline

Dipflow creates articles through a multi-step pipeline. Unlike simple AI writing tools that generate content in one shot, this approach produces better results because each step builds on research and your input.

The pipeline mirrors how professional content teams work: research first, then plan, then write, then polish.

Step-by-Step Breakdown

1. SERP Research

The AI analyzes what's already ranking for your keyword. It examines top competitors to understand what content succeeds in search results. You select which sources to use as references.

2. Title Generation

Based on the competitive research, the AI generates multiple title options optimized for your keyword. You pick the one that best fits your goals.

3. Research & Brief

The AI conducts additional research on your topic, gathering information from various sources. This creates a knowledge foundation for the article.

4. Topics & Outline

Using the research, the AI creates a structured outline with topics and sections. You can review, reorder, add, or remove sections before writing begins.

5. Content Writing

The AI writes the full article based on your outline, research, and brand voice settings. This produces comprehensive, well-structured content.

6. Extras

The AI adds value-adding elements: key takeaways that summarize main points and FAQ sections that address common questions about the topic.

7. Metadata

Tags and external link suggestions are generated to help with organization and SEO.

8. Visuals

The AI creates image prompts and descriptions for visuals that would enhance the article.

9. Image Generation

Finally, unique images are generated for your article - both a main featured image and any inline images.

Each step saves automatically. You can pause at any point and return later to continue where you left off.

Working with the Wizard

The article wizard guides you through each step:

  • Progress indicator shows where you are in the process
  • Review screens let you examine and modify AI output
  • Continue buttons move you to the next step when ready
  • Back buttons let you revisit previous steps if needed

You're always in control. The AI proposes, you approve or adjust, then move forward.

Time and Credits

A complete article typically takes 5-10 minutes to generate, depending on length and complexity. Most of that time is spent reviewing AI output and making decisions.

Each step uses credits. The total cost for a full article is approximately 100 credits, broken down across the different steps. See the Credits documentation for detailed cost information.

You can generate multiple articles in parallel. Start one, and while it processes, begin another in a different tab.
