Navigate to Content → Content Generation, then click Create New Content Action.1

The content type shapes the structure of the generated output. Choose the type that matches what AI models are most likely to cite for your target query.

Enter your target query
In the Content Topic / Query field, enter the exact query you want this content to rank for — for example,
best project management software for remote teams or how to reduce customer churn with AI.This query is used throughout generation to focus the content and calculate section scores. Use the same phrasing your target audience would type into an AI assistant.3
Enter company name and domain
Enter your Company Name and Company Domain (e.g.,
example.com). XLR8.ai uses these to personalize the content and position your brand within the generated output.4
Add a content title
Enter a Content Title — the headline that will appear at the top of the generated piece. This becomes the H1 of your content and is factored into AEO scoring.

Optionally add competitors and context
Two optional fields let you guide the output:Competitors (available for
listicle and competitor_comparison types): Add competitor brand names by typing each name and pressing Enter or ,. XLR8.ai incorporates these into the comparison structure.Additional context: Paste in brand voice guidelines, product names, target audience details, or any other context that should shape the content — for example:Brand voice: Friendly and authoritative.

Generate and review sections
Click Generate Content. XLR8.ai sends your inputs to the selected LLM and returns the content as a set of scored sections. Generation typically takes 15–60 seconds depending on content type and model.Once complete, you are taken to the content detail view where you can review, edit, and manage each section.
Working with sections
Generated content is structured as a series of sections, each with a name, body text, and a section score. Sections map to the logical parts of your content — introduction, key points, comparisons, conclusions, and so on.Understanding section scores
Each section displays a score between 0 and 1 representing its cosine similarity to your target query:- 0.7–1.0 — Strong alignment. The section is directly relevant to the query and likely to be cited.
- 0.4–0.69 — Moderate alignment. The section supports the piece but may need tightening.
- 0.0–0.39 — Low alignment. Consider rewriting or removing the section.
Editing sections
Click into any section’s text area to edit it inline. Your changes are saved automatically. The score recalculates after you finish editing.Adding sections
Use the insert control between any two sections to add a new section at that position. You can also append a section at the end of the document. New sections start with a score of 0 and recalculate once you add content.Reordering sections
Drag sections into a new order using the drag handle on the left side of each section card. Reordering does not affect individual section scores.Deleting sections
Click the delete icon on any section to remove it permanently. You cannot undo a section deletion, so review before removing.Metadata description
The first section of your content includes a metadata description field. This is the meta description that gets published alongside your content when you push it to Webflow. Keep it concise (under 160 characters) and include your target query keywords.Brand guidelines
If your organization has configured Organization Brand Guidelines in Settings, content generation can include them by default. You can also toggle brand guideline inclusion on the generation form. Approved AI Brand Learnings from resolved comment threads further steer future content.After generating: publish
