From a category to a finished draft, automatically
AI Articles, powered by Citeya, turns a category, subcategory, and content type into a full, source-backed, SEO-ready article, with optional images, in under a minute. It isn't switched on yet (see the FAQ below), but this guide walks through exactly how the workflow works so you know what to expect.

Setting Up a Generation
Before generating, you pick four things that shape the article. The same fields power both one-off runs and scheduled automation.
- Focus keyword (optional): type in a specific angle, e.g. "AI writing." Leave it blank and BrandOps pulls a trending topic from the news for your chosen category instead. Either way, you always get a topic.
- Category and Subcategory: pick a category first, and the subcategory list filters down to the ones that belong to it.
- Content type: the format the article is written in.
- Word count: anywhere from 200 to 2,500 words, defaulting to 1,200.
- Generate images: an optional toggle if you want AI-generated images alongside the text.
What You Get Back
A generation returns a full package, not just a wall of text: everything you'd need to review and publish.
- A title and description, plus an SEO-ready meta title and meta description.
- The full article as Markdown, with a one-click Copy Markdown button.
- A Sources list, showing the real references the article drew from, each linked out.
- Generation typically takes under a minute: picking a topic, gathering sources, writing, and generating images if that was turned on.
Images
Images are optional and generated separately from the text, so you're never stuck with a first draft you don't like.
- Turn on Generate images before running a generation to have images created alongside the article.
- If the article comes back with image prompts but no image yet, a Generate image button creates one on demand from that prompt.
- Every image, whether generated up front or on demand, has a Regenerate button if the result isn't right.
Automating It
"Automate this" turns your current setup into a recurring schedule, so articles get generated without anyone clicking Generate manually.
- Set Articles per run (1–10) and Every (hours) (1–720). A schedule reuses the category, subcategory, content type, word count, focus keyword, and image setting you configured above it.
- Each schedule shows its cadence and, once enabled, the timestamp of its next run.
- Pause, resume, or delete a schedule at any time from the schedule list. Pausing stops future runs without losing the configuration.
History
Every article generated, manual or scheduled, lands in a Recent Articles history so nothing gets lost between sessions.
- Each entry shows a thumbnail (if one was generated), the title, category/subcategory, and creation date, with an "auto" tag on anything a schedule produced.
- Click any history item to reload its full draft, SEO metadata, and sources exactly as generated.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is AI Articles available right now?
Not yet. It's fully built, but the underlying Citeya integration isn't production-configured, so the page currently shows a "coming soon" state on every plan rather than being switched on early. This guide explains how the workflow works once it goes live.
How do I control what an article is about?
Pick a Category, then a Subcategory that belongs to it, then a Content type. Add an optional focus keyword to steer the topic, or leave it blank and BrandOps pulls a trending topic from the news for that category instead.
What word counts can I generate?
Anywhere from 200 to 2,500 words, with 1,200 as the default starting point. Set it before generating, since it applies to both one-off runs and anything you automate.
Does AI Articles cite real sources?
Yes. Every generated article comes back with a Sources list of the real references it drew from, plus an SEO-ready meta title and meta description, not just body copy.
Can I generate images for an article?
Yes, it's an optional toggle before you generate. If the draft comes back with image prompts but no images yet, you can generate one on demand, and every generated image has a Regenerate option if the first result isn't right.
Can I run this on autopilot instead of clicking Generate each time?
Yes, that's what the "Automate this" schedule is for. Set how many articles to generate per run (1–10) and how often (every 1–720 hours), and it uses the same category, subcategory, content type, word count, and image setting you configured. Schedules can be paused, resumed, or deleted at any time.
Where do past articles go?
Every article you generate, whether manually or via a schedule, is saved to a Recent Articles history. Click any past article to reload its full draft, sources, and images instead of regenerating from scratch.
What plan will AI Articles be on?
It's planned for the Agency plan once it's live. We'd rather ship it once it's genuinely tested end to end than turn it on early on any plan.
