Writing a Draft Article

Creating a draft article with AI is straightforward:

  1. Head to Content
  2. Click the dropdown arrow next to the Create Article button
  3. Click on Draft with AI to begin your AI-powered writing journey
  4. Write an article title, outline, and style of your article
    Style may not be available depending on your HelpDocs AI Style configuration

Creating a Detailed Outline

Creating an outline for the best draft article is important, since the more context you give, the better the result. Here's a few tips:

  • Use bullet points. Split your content into different sections by using dashes, and then use two dashes to indicate a subsection like so:
    - Main topic
    -- Subtopic
  • Add specific examples. When mentioning a specific thing you'd like it to write, include at least one example in brackets to give context.
  • Mention formatting. HelpDocs AI knows about the formatting options in the text editor, so don't be afraid to ask for something in a code block, table, or Fold.

Defining Your Style

Different brands and even different companies have different styles of writing. To make the generated content as you as possible, choose a style from our list or add a custom one.

You can set your default style in Settings

Style

Description

Neutral

Informative and instructional.

Formal

No puns here. Keeps the tone consistent and writes for learning.

Casual

Has a little more fun with the tone and voice, but still instructional.

Technical

Drills down into the nitty-gritty and doesn't veer off-course.

Custom

Add your own style to make it fit your brand.
