Research & Outline

The Research Phase

After selecting a title, the AI conducts additional research on your topic. This goes beyond the initial SERP analysis to gather specific information that will inform the article content.

The research phase:

• Searches for relevant information across multiple sources
• Extracts key facts, statistics, and insights
• Identifies important subtopics to cover
• Builds a knowledge base for accurate content generation

This research happens automatically. You'll see a brief summary of what was found before moving to the outline.

The Outline Phase

Using the research, the AI creates a structured outline for your article. The outline includes:

• Main sections - Major topics the article will cover
• Subsections - Supporting points within each section
• Logical flow - Topics arranged in a sensible order

The outline is your chance to shape the article before writing begins. Review it carefully - changes here are much easier than editing a full article.

Reviewing Topics

When reviewing the outline, look for:

Completeness

Does the outline cover everything important about your topic? Are there key subtopics missing?

Relevance

Is everything in the outline directly relevant? Remove sections that drift off-topic.

Structure

Does the flow make sense? Information should build logically from one section to the next.

Length

The number of sections affects article length. Fewer sections mean a shorter, more focused article.

Modifying the Outline

You can modify the outline before proceeding:

Reorder sections

Drag sections to rearrange them. Put the most important information early in the article.

Add sections

If something's missing, add a new section. Just name the topic - the AI will write the content.

Remove sections

Delete sections that aren't relevant or that would make the article too long.

Edit section titles

Rename sections to better reflect what you want covered. Clearer section titles lead to more focused content.
