AI Article API
A useful AI article workflow starts with a specific reader and an answer worth giving. The model can propose an outline, develop a draft, or suggest alternatives, but the brief and the publication decision still need clear owners. Treat generation as one stage in an editorial process rather than a shortcut around it.
Start with the right boundary
Design a bounded assignment: approved sources, an intended audience, the questions to answer, a target structure, and material the draft must not invent. Keep observations from source documents distinct from instructions given to the model.
A practical workflow
01. Build a grounded brief
Provide the central question, reader context, approved evidence, and desired next action. Mark unknowns rather than inviting the model to guess.
02. Request a structured draft
Ask for separate fields for headings, body sections, source references, and unresolved questions. Route incomplete responses into review rather than silently filling gaps.
03. Review before release
Check claims against the actual sources, inspect the argument, and edit for voice. Re-run checks when a model or prompt changes.
Before the next handoff
- The draft answers one recognizable reader question.
- Every concrete claim has a reviewable basis.
- No generation step can publish on its own.
KEEP THIS IN MIND
A confident tone is not evidence. Do not turn a model-generated reference into a citation without opening and checking the original source.
