AI-powered Editor

Learn what every single button does, and what their hotkeys are so you can save even more time.

How to access

Every time you generate an article, you'll be automatically redirected to our AI-powered editor when the article's finished generating.

To edit previous articles, just go to your articles, and pick an article to edit.

Editing

Light/Dark mode

Next to the Open Assistant on the top right is a toggle button to toggle the editor in light/dark mode. It's recommended that when you copy/paste the HTML or text, you do it in light mode, otherwise the dark background gets carried over (publishing to Wordpress won't carry over the dark background).

Assistant

The assistant can be opened and closed with the button on the top right. The assistant gives you stats on the readability and SEO viability of your article, as well as a tab to see your previous text replacements.

Grammarly settings

The editor has Grammarly built in, so you can simply click on words to correct them. If you want to adjust Grammarly settings, like which language to check for, just scroll to the bottom of the article and locate this button:

Grammarly settings button

Click on it and you'll be able to edit your Grammarly settings.

Basic markdown support

To save you time, the editor auto-detects when you try to add markdown to the document and will automatically format the document to your liking (similar to Dropbox Paper). As a refresher:

  • # some text creates an H1 title with "some text" as the title.
    • ## heading 2 creates and H2 with "heading 2" as title.
    • This pattern repeats up to 6 #s for H6.
  • Add * or - to start a bulleted list.
  • Add 1. to start a numbered list. Or add 13. for example to start a numbered list from 13.

You can press the tab key to indent list items or shift+tab to unindent them. More complex markdown, like tables, code blocks, are not yet supported.

Images

By default, generating an article will create a featured image for you for publication on Wordpress. It'll be filled with an SEO-optimized alt-text. The featured image sits at the top of your article. To modify it, you have 2 options:

  1. Click on the image to bring up the royalty image search.
    1. Optionally modify the alt-text for the image if you'd like.
    2. Type in the search bar of what image you want to search for.
    3. Click on an image from the results to swap out your image.
  2. Drag/drop a file from your computer to the featured image to swap it out. It may take a few seconds because we upload it to Amazon S3 so your image is more portable.

If you don't use Wordpress for publishing you may safely ignore the featured image. And if you really want to use the featured image but don't use Wordpress? Simply right click on the image and press Copy Image Address so you can paste the image URL wherever you want.

Images in the article

In addition to using the button in the toolbar to add an image to your cursor, you can also simply either:

  1. Drag/drop a file from your computer to the article to upload an image.
  2. If there's already an existing image in the article, you can simply click on it to bring up the royalty-free image search where you can modify the alt text or search for a new image to swap it out.

The buttons show below are in top-to-bottom order of appearance in the editor.
