Content gaps, not guesswork

Articles shows you the content gaps in your category — article formats that ChatGPT and Google AI Overview are citing repeatedly, where you don't yet have a competing piece. Each suggestion is based directly on what's being cited across your tracked prompts.

Articles only appear after you've added and run prompts, and Airefs has found relevant sources in the ChatGPT or Google AI Overview results or your Reddit alerts.

Suggested articles — each opportunity ranked by citation count, with the sources currently winning that format

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. The most-cited one is the one to beat.

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. Look at the suggested title format and citation count — the higher the 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.

The more your content matches the format and intent of what the AI currently cites, the more likely it is to be cited in future answers. Done well, a single article can appear as a citation across dozens of different prompts and continue driving mentions for months.

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 teams work both in parallel: use Discussions for quick wins, use Articles for durable citation share.
