Creating Content

Asky generates long-form content engineered to be cited by AI search engines, not just to read well. You guide a short setup, then Asky writes the draft for you and saves it to your Content Library.

Starting a Workflow

Click New Content in the Content Library and choose a content type, or start from a Citation Gap to write against a specific opportunity.

Content Types

Each content type has its own structure, tuned to how AI search engines read and quote that format.

Content TypeBest For
ArticleGeneral blog posts and thought-leadership pieces
How-To GuideStep-by-step guides for completing a task
Listicle”Best X for Y” roundups and curated lists
ComparisonHead-to-head “Brand vs Brand” breakdowns
Authority GuideComprehensive, in-depth guides on a topic

How the Workflow Works

The workflow walks you through a short setup. You stay in control of the inputs while Asky handles the heavy lifting.

Set Up the Article

Choose the language, then say what the piece is about: either a rough description we turn into title options, or the exact title if you already have one. Then pick every topic it covers, narrowing any of them to specific subtopics.

The first topic you pick is the article’s home topic. That is the one its coverage counts toward; the rest widen the research behind it.

Confirm the Sources

Asky surfaces the pages that AI search engines have recently cited for this topic, so your piece is built around sources those engines already trust.

Choose the Title

Pick from a set of suggested, on-brand titles, or write your own. If you already gave us the exact title in the first step, this step shows it back for a last look instead of suggesting alternatives.

Add Your Knowledge

Optional, and the one step nobody can do for you. Paste the context only you have, link a page the article should pull details from, and pick the Brand Knowledge documents this article should use. See Your Knowledge below.

Set the Outline and Format

Choose the article length, its shape, and the writing style it should sound like. Asky then drafts a structured outline. Edit it until the angle and structure are right.

Add Statistics and Sources

Asky searches the live web for citable statistics and their original sources. Keep the ones that fit.

Asky finds pages on your own site that belong in the piece, so the article links out to your existing content.

Generate

Click Generate and Asky writes the full draft. This usually takes a few minutes.

Depending on the content type you choose, the workflow may include a few extra steps, such as building a feature comparison for a Comparison or choosing your list items for a Listicle.

While Asky writes, it grounds the piece in real, recently-cited sources, writes in your brand voice, and runs multiple quality and fact-checking passes before saving the draft. Every external link is checked against a real source, and the structure is reviewed against best practices for AI search so engines can parse and quote your content.

Your Knowledge

Every article is already generated against a complete set of best practices for AI search, built from your brand profile, your writing style, and your topic. Everything else in it can be researched. Your Knowledge is the step for the part that cannot: the numbers, quotes and product specifics that exist only inside your company.

There are three ways in, and which one you use depends on the form the thing is in right now: something you type, a page you link, or a document you already saved.

Paste context and notes. A text box for anything that lives in a deck, an email, or your head rather than in a saved document. Competitor battle cards, product specs, pricing, customer quotes, a benchmark from last quarter. Paste it and Asky quotes it back in the article as yours rather than as research. Only what you write explicitly is used, never anything inferred from it, and the more exact it is the better: a figure that names the group and the period it covers can be quoted as written, and it survives the draft’s fact check instead of being cut as unsourced. Used for this article only.

Link a page to pull details from. Up to 5 URLs: your pricing page, a product page, a docs page, a study. Asky reads each one the moment you add it, which can take up to fifteen seconds, and the writer may then take exact product and plan names, versions, tiers, prices, capabilities and figures from it, in the page’s own wording. Add a note to say what the article should take from a given page; where the page does not contain it, nothing is invented in its place. These are not Research Sources, which are read for background the article cannot draw from, and the article never cites a page you add here as a source. Used for this article only.

Pick from Brand Knowledge. Pick up to 5 Brand Knowledge documents you have already saved. The cap is 5 so each one can be read in full, which is what grounds the piece in your own research, results, and product detail. This is the permanent, reusable version of the text box above: save a document once and any article can use it. Pick none and the article uses no documents; documents attached to your writing style are used automatically and are not listed here. Brand Knowledge is available on the Scale plan and above; on Starter this part of the step shows what it does and how to unlock it.

Pasting the same passage into every article? Add it to Brand Knowledge once instead. Documents are chunked, summarized, and fact-checked, which works better than raw text and means you never have to paste it again. Either way, how the article sounds comes from your writing style.

After Generation

When the draft is ready it lands in your Content Library. From there you can edit the title, meta description, slug, and body, attach an author, and publish to a connected CMS.
