At Verblio, we've dedicated countless hours to perfecting the art of requesting content from AI. Our exhaustive testing has helped us hone our process, uncovering the crucial role of outlines when using AI for content. Read on to learn more!
TL;DR: Great outlines return great content. Carefully review your outline before placing an order to make sure the content you receive closely matches your vision.
Why are outlines so important?
Outlines help leverage all of the benefits of AI-generated content in a more structured environment than freeform requests. There are a few key benefits we've uncovered:
1. Structure and Clarity
Outlines provide a clear structure and roadmap for AI-generated content. They segment the topic into manageable sections, ensuring a logical information flow. This organization is vital for coherent and well-structured AI-generated content
2. Expectations
Providing an outline to an AI model translates your expectations clearly. It specifies the topics to cover, their order, and any key points. This clarity reduces the risk of the AI generating irrelevant or off-topic content, ensuring alignment with your objectives.
3. Quality Control
Outlines empower your writer to tailor content to your specific needs. It will be vastly easier for them to guide the AI as needed, pivoting the flow of content if it goes off-track.
When will I see an outline?
Our content ordering process includes an outline review in the second step. You can learn more about that process here.
How do I make changes to the outline?
It's easy! All you need to do is click on the text you'd like to change and begin typing. Any changes you make will be saved when you click the "Next" button.
Why does it take up to 30 seconds to generate an outline?
Our outline generation process is fairly complex. It involves a lot of back-and-forth with the AI, which can take time. However, we believe that the results are worth the wait!
I still have questions about outlines.
