Enable, AI articles

We can create the dynamic prompts ourselves as well, fortunately SCM ships with a ready to go template.
How does the template work?
SCM goes to Google to find PAA.
The AI prompt has access to these questions and answers via special macro codes.
We must save a copy of a PAA question to a macro in order to use it.
We use macros so that we can keep track of each question individually.
Our template has 3 questions saved into macros %q1%, %q2%, %q3%
We can access more questions by adding extra macros, eg…
A list of pre-existing macros are inside the dropdown menus
We use each question macro in our AI prompt.
We use %q1% to:
- Insert a H2 tag
- Create an AI prompt
The AI prompt asks our AI model to write an answer to the question stored in %q1% etc.
Select the AI template
Click select.
The AI template is loaded.
Select a AI model (if required).
Enter the number of articles to create.
No other settings are required, the task is ready to run.
Check the task log to verify PAA is being found.
The default is to find at least 6 questions.
To find more questions, edit Inserts > People also ask, Find PAA limit
NB you don’t need to enable the insert, we are doing the insert ourselves manually in an AI template.
Verify the AI is running.
There are 3 requests to the AI model, one for each question found in the PAA.
