Generation Modes

The Write module provides multiple ways to generate content, from a single article to hundreds at once. These methods are organized into different modes, accessible via tabs.

  • Single: Generates one article at a time directly in the interface.
  • Bulk, CSV, RSS, URL, Google Sheets: These modes create automated tasks for generating content in the background.

Single​

This is the most straightforward way to create content. Simply enter your topic (and optionally, keywords separated by a |) into the text box and click Generate.

The AI will generate a title and the full article, which will appear in the output panel on the right. This allows you to review, copy, or save the content as a post immediately.

Example Input:

How to train a puppy | puppy training, housebreaking, new dog

List​

For generating multiple articles, you can use one of the task-based modes. When you use these modes, instead of generating content immediately, AIP creates a task that runs in the background.

Task-based generation is managed by the Automate module. This section provides a brief overview. For detailed information on managing, monitoring, and scheduling, please see the Automate documentation.

The Bulk mode allows you to enter a list of topics directly.

  • Format: Enter one topic per line. You can also include keywords, a category ID, author username, and post type slug, separated by |.

  • Example:

    How to bake a cake | frosting, flour | 15 | mary | post
    About our services | web design | 12 | john | page
    The future of AI in marketing

CSV​

This mode lets you generate articles by importing topics from a CSV file.

  • Format: The columns in your CSV file must be in the following order: Topic, Keywords, Category ID, Author Username, Post Type Slug.
  • Usage: Click "Choose File" to upload your CSV. The system will parse the file and prepare the topics for the task.

RSS​

This mode automatically creates articles from new items in one or more RSS feeds.

  • Format: Enter one RSS feed URL per line in the provided text area.
  • Filtering: You can use the Include Keywords and Exclude Keywords fields to control which feed items are used to generate content.
  • Prompting: Use the {description} placeholder in your prompt to include the item's description from the RSS feed as context.

URL​

This mode generates articles by fetching content from a list of URLs. This is useful for summarizing or rewriting existing web pages.

  • Format: Enter one website URL per line.
  • Prompting: The content from each URL will be fetched and made available in your prompt using the {url_content} placeholder.
  • Testing: You can use the Test First URL button to preview the content that will be fetched from the first URL in your list.

Google Sheets​

Connect a Google Sheet to manage a large content calendar. The task will generate articles from the topics listed in your sheet.

  • Format: Your sheet must have columns in the following order:
    • Column A: Topic
    • Column B: Keywords
    • Column C: Category ID
    • Column D: Author Username
    • Column E: Post Type Slug
    • Column F: Status (Optional). The plugin will write "Processed on [Date]" to this column after successfully generating an article. Rows with any value in the Status column will be skipped in future runs.
  • Authentication: You will need to provide your Google Sheet ID and Service Account credentials. Ensure you have shared your Google Sheet with the client_email found in your credentials file.
