Articles

The Articles page has two distinct features: Recommended opportunities (content gaps to write yourself) and Created articles (written automatically by Airefs's AEO content agent).

Recommended articles

The Recommended tab shows content gaps identified from what ChatGPT and Google AI Overview are citing across your tracked prompts — article formats that are winning citations in your category where you don't yet have a competing piece.

Each row shows a suggested title, the number of sources behind the recommendation, and a Cited count — how many times similar articles appear across your prompts. The format type (Listicle, Guide, etc.) tells you the content structure to match.

Expand any suggestion to see every article currently being cited for that format, with individual URLs and citation counts. These are the specific pieces you're competing against.

Mark opportunities as done once you've published, or dismiss ones that aren't relevant. Export the full list to CSV at any time.

The playbook

1. Review each opportunity. The higher the citation count, the more established that format is in your category and the more worth targeting it is.
2. Write and publish similar content on your site. Match the format (typically listicles: "15 Best X Tools for 2026"), but make yours better — more specific, more current, with original examples and real comparisons.
3. Write it for AI extraction. Use explicit headings that clearly signal content structure, structured comparisons that are easy to parse, and neutral explanations that build trust. Skip the fluff — AI models cite dense, useful content, not padding.
4. Include your brand naturally. Don't just list competitors. Position your product clearly where it genuinely fits.

AI-generated articles Beta

When enabled, Airefs's AEO content agent writes articles on your behalf — researched, formatted, and optimised to be cited in ChatGPT and rank in Google. You don't need to brief it: the agent picks topics based on the gaps it finds across your tracked prompts and the sources currently winning those positions.

The scheduled pipeline

At the top of the Articles page, a Scheduled articles panel shows the next articles queued for your site, each with a projected delivery date. Articles are delivered on a rolling cadence — every few days depending on your plan — so you always have content in flight.

Each card in the pipeline shows:

• Title — the article the agent is planning to write, based on your tracked prompts and current citation gaps.
• Projected date — when the article will be delivered to your Created tab.
• Days until delivery — a relative countdown so you can plan around the publishing schedule.

The pipeline refreshes automatically as articles are delivered and new gaps are identified. You don't need to manage the queue.

The Created tab

When an article is ready, it appears in the Created tab. Each article shows:

• Title and article type (Comparison, Guide, Listicle, etc.)
• Word count and creation date
• A Download .md file button — the full article as a Markdown file, ready to publish
• A Copy to clipboard button — paste directly into your CMS or editor

Articles are written in Markdown with proper heading structure, comparison tables where relevant, and your brand positioned naturally within the content. They're designed to be published as-is or lightly edited to match your voice.

Articles vs. Discussions

Discussions are fast — join an existing thread today and it can influence AI answers within days. Articles take longer to publish and index, but the impact compounds over time. A well-cited article can drive citations across dozens of prompts for months.

The highest-leverage approach combines both: use Discussions for quick wins, use Articles for durable citation share.
