Content Assistant
Build workspace context and run deep research to improve AI-generated content quality.
Content Assistant
The Content Assistant is a platform feature that helps AutoBlogWriter understand your brand, audience, and competitive landscape. The richer the context you provide, the more accurately the AI generates content that fits your voice and targets the right topics.
Access it from the Content Assistant tab inside any workspace.
What It Does
AutoBlogWriter uses a structured workspace context — a set of facts about your product, positioning, target audience, and competitors — to inform every post it generates. The Content Assistant gives you two ways to build and refine that context:
| Tab | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Source | Extract context from an existing URL or uploaded document |
| Research | Run deep-dive competitor and keyword analysis on a topic |
Source Tab
Use the Source tab to pull context from content you already own or reference — your homepage, a product page, a competitor's site, or any PDF or document.
Workflow
- Add a source — paste a URL or upload a document (PDF, Markdown, plain text).
- Extract — the AI reads the source and proposes a context patch: additions or updates to your workspace context such as product descriptions, audience segments, or positioning notes.
- Review proposed updates — inspect each proposed change before applying it.
- Apply — confirm the changes you want; rejected sections are discarded.
Tips
- Run your own homepage first to establish a baseline context.
- Add competitor URLs to help the AI differentiate your content.
- Re-run sources periodically if your product or positioning changes.
Research Tab
The Research tab performs a deep, multi-signal analysis of a topic: competitor content, keyword opportunities, content angles, and positioning. Use it before kicking off a new content series or entering a new topic area.
Workflow
- Enter a topic — describe the subject you want to research (e.g., "TypeScript monorepo tooling").
- Optionally seed with competitors or keywords — pre-populate the research with known competitors or seed keywords to focus the analysis.
- Run research — the AI performs multi-source analysis (this may take a moment).
- Review results — the report is organized into sections:
- Competitors — sites ranking for this topic with content gap analysis
- Keyword opportunities — clusters of related keywords with estimated intent
- Content angles — suggested post angles and formats
- Positioning — how to differentiate your content given your workspace context
- Apply sections selectively — choose which sections to merge into your workspace context. You can apply all, some, or none.
Plan Requirements
The Research tab requires a Starter plan or above. Free-plan workspaces can use the Source tab but cannot run deep research.
Branding and Plan Tiers
When the API returns brandingRequired: true in the BrandingInfo object, the "Powered by AutoBlogWriter" attribution footer is shown in your rendered blog components and cannot be disabled. This applies to free-plan workspaces.
On Starter, Pro, and Enterprise plans (brandingRequired: false), you can hide the attribution footer:
<BlogPost post={post} showBranding={false} />
<BlogPostList posts={posts} showBranding={false} />See React Components for full branding prop documentation.
