Getting Started with AI Content Generation
Learn how to set up your first content automation project and start generating SEO-optimized articles at scale.
Introduction
AI content generation is transforming how businesses approach content marketing. With Content Factory, you can generate high-quality, SEO-optimized articles at scale while maintaining your brand voice and ensuring factual accuracy.
In this guide, we'll walk you through setting up your first project and generating your first AI-powered article. By the end, you'll understand the complete workflow from strategy definition to published content.
Setting Up Your First Project
Creating a project in Content Factory is your first step toward automated content generation. Each project represents a distinct brand or publication with its own voice, audience, and content strategy.
#
Define Your Content Strategy
Start by answering these key questions through our AI Strategy Engine:
- Target Audience: Who are you writing for? Define demographics, pain points, and interests.
- Content Pillars: What topics will you cover? Usually 3-5 main themes.
- Competitive Landscape: Who else is writing about these topics?
- Content Goals: Traffic, leads, brand awareness, or thought leadership?
The AI Strategy Engine will guide you through an interactive conversation to capture all these details. Think of it as onboarding a new content writer — except this writer never forgets.

Configure Brand Voice
Your brand voice is what makes your content recognizable. During setup, you'll define:
- Tone: Professional, casual, authoritative, friendly, etc.
- Style: Long-form deep dives or short, punchy posts?
- Vocabulary: Industry jargon or accessible language?
- Examples: Upload existing content for the AI to learn from.
This creates a unique voice profile that guides every piece of content generated for this project.
Generating Your First Article
Once your project is set up, generating content is straightforward:
1. Create a content brief — Either manually or from your keyword clusters
2. Review the AI-generated outline — Adjust structure as needed
3. Start generation — The multi-agent pipeline kicks in
4. Monitor progress — Watch as research, writing, and editing happen
The typical pipeline takes 10-15 minutes for a 2,000-word article:
- Research Agent: Gathers facts, statistics, and competitor analysis
- Writing Agent: Creates the first draft based on research
- Editing Agent: Refines language, improves flow
- SEO Agent: Optimizes for keywords, adds meta tags
- Quality Agent: Scores across 5 dimensions
Quality Review Process
Every article receives a quality score before reaching your review queue:
| Dimension | What It Measures | Target |
|---|
| Originality | Similarity to existing content | <85% |
|---|---|---|
| Voice | Alignment with brand guidelines | >70 |
| Factual | Verified claims and data | >75 |
| SEO | Keyword placement and structure | >70 |
| Readability | Flesch-Kincaid score | >60 |
Articles meeting your threshold can be auto-published or sent to your review queue for final approval.
