# Write an Article from a Keyword

> **What it does:** Turns a keyword, phrase, or topic description into a complete SEO-optimized article with title, slug, focus keyword, and meta — inserted directly into the editor.

## When to use it

Your everyday workhorse: planned blog content, evergreen guides, listicles, opinion pieces — anything where you know the topic and want a publish-ready draft in a minute.

## Step by step

1. New post → open the **Antradus AI** panel (Classic: always the first panel directly below the editor · Block editor: anchor ⚓ icon → sidebar).
2. Describe the topic. A short sentence beats a bare keyword: *"how to start a balcony vegetable garden with no experience"*.
3. Choose **Style / Tone / Language**.
4. Tick the extras you want (see table below).
5. Click **Start Writing** and watch the step-by-step status messages.
6. The article lands in the editor; SEO fields are filled automatically.

## Every option explained

| Option | Choices | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| **Style** | Blog · News · Listicle · How-To · Opinion | The article's structure and framing. *Listicle* produces numbered sections; *How-To* produces step-based instructions; *News* writes lede-first. |
| **Tone** | Formal · Conversational · Friendly · Authoritative · Humorous | The writing voice. Combine freely with any style. |
| **Language** | English, Arabic, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Chinese (Simplified), Japanese, Korean, Hindi, Turkish, Dutch, Polish, Swedish, Indonesian | Output language — the whole package (article, meta, slug) follows it. |
| **Topic / Niche pills** | Your saved topics | One-click inserts a saved niche phrase into the topic box. Manage them under **Antradus AI → 📌 Topics / Niches**. |
| **Include FAQ** | on/off | Appends an FAQ section built from real questions people ask about the topic. |
| **Generate Meta Title & Description** | on (default) | Also produces focus keyword, SEO title (with an emotional hook word), and meta description, and fills your SEO plugin. |
| **🌐 Search the web** | off (default) | The AI researches the live web first — for news and recent events. Costs extra on your provider account. [Details](live-web-search.md). |

## How the AI decides the focus keyword

You don't have to hand it a polished keyphrase — the AI derives the ideal focus keyword itself rather than copying your raw topic text. Your topic can be conversational; the SEO stays clean.

## Customizing the writing globally

Two levels, both under **Antradus AI** settings:

- **🔥 System Prompt** — the standing instruction for every article (persona, brand voice, rules like "always use metric units"). There's a restore-default button if you go too far.
- Per-article, everything in the panel (style/tone/language) layers *on top* of the system prompt.

## Tips & gotchas

- **Unknown subjects:** for topics the AI genuinely has no knowledge of, it refuses and asks for a source link instead of hallucinating. Famous subjects always get full articles.
- **Products:** on a WooCommerce product, the same button writes in product format (description + short description) instead of blog format.
- Generate while the post is a **draft** so the URL slug can be set.
- Regenerate freely — each run replaces the article; Ctrl+Z restores the previous content.
