Tell FetchskiAI what a post should cover, and it writes a full draft in a minute or two. The draft is saved as an unpublished post, so you can polish it and publish when it's ready. **Who can do this:** Editors, Admins and Owners. Contributors see the **Generate with AI** button but can't run it. ## Before you start * FetchskiAI must be turned on for your site. If you see **Set up AI features first**, ask an Admin or Owner. See [FetchskiAI settings](https://docs.fetchski-attract.com/fetchskiai/settings.md). * Have a few notes ready: the topic, who it's for, the key points and the tone. The more detail you give, the better the draft. ## Generate the post **1. Open your posts** Open the command palette (⌘K, or Ctrl+K on Windows) and choose **Blog Posts**. **2. Start** At the top of the **Blog Posts** manager, choose **Generate with AI**. The **Generate a blog post** window opens. ![The Blog Posts manager with its buttons along the top, Generate with AI ringed.](https://mintcdn.com/fetchski-attract-api/14u3sY83pyWdBf8G/images/cms/fetchskiai/blog-posts/fetchskiai-blog-posts-button-light.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=14u3sY83pyWdBf8G\&q=85\&s=2962452ca3eb06093ee9722b73e5dc13) Generate with AI sits with the other ways to start a post. **3. Describe the post** Under **What should the post cover?**, write your notes. For example: "5 tips for a puppy's first week at daycare, for new puppy owners in Portland. Friendly and practical. Drop-off is 7 to 9 a.m.; pack a leash and lunch in a labeled bag." Put facts like times, prices and rules in your notes, as above. FetchskiAI only knows what you tell it here and what's in **Business Context** in [Agent Setup](https://docs.fetchski-attract.com/fetchskiai/agent-setup.md). **4. Choose a model, if you like** A model is the AI engine that writes the post, and each one writes a little differently. Leave **Model** empty to use your site's usual one, or choose another to try it for this post only. **5. Choose the content type** Under **Content type**, choose one (**Text only** is chosen to start): * **Text only**: a written post with headings and paragraphs, like an article. * **Rich content**: the same writing, broken up with ready-made sections you can edit afterward. For Parker's, that might be a row of big numbers ("3 play yards, 12 staff"), a numbered list of steps for a first visit, or a photo beside a paragraph. Either type can have pictures from your library. The next step decides whether FetchskiAI may also make new ones. **6. Add pictures, if you like** Turn on **Create images for this post** to let FetchskiAI make up to 4 new images for it. Each new image uses some of your site's AI budget, so leave it off to use only images already in your library. ![The Generate with AI window filled in: the topic notes about a puppy's first week, Rich content chosen, Create images for this post turned on.](https://mintcdn.com/fetchski-attract-api/14u3sY83pyWdBf8G/images/cms/fetchskiai/blog-posts/fetchskiai-blog-posts-compose-light.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=14u3sY83pyWdBf8G\&q=85\&s=e0220c921266d9d8cdc8a3d003436a71) Describe the post, pick its content type, then generate. **7. Generate** Choose **Generate**. FetchskiAI writes the post as you watch, then checks that it's built correctly: that every section and picture in it will work in a post. If something doesn't, it fixes it on its own, up to 3 tries in all. You'll see "Fixing … validation issues". To stop, choose **Stop**. These checks don't check facts. You still read the post for wrong prices, times or claims. **8. Review the draft** When it's done, the window shows **Draft created — editable** and the finished post. Click into the text to change it, and add, edit or move its sections. Your changes save as you go ("All changes saved"). ![The finished draft in the window: Draft created — editable at the top with the model, tokens and cost, the Edit topic and Regenerate buttons, then the post's title, intro and body ready to edit in place.](https://mintcdn.com/fetchski-attract-api/14u3sY83pyWdBf8G/images/cms/fetchskiai/blog-posts/fetchskiai-blog-posts-draft-light.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=14u3sY83pyWdBf8G\&q=85\&s=2893aa63971401d920c8641058bf6a3f) The draft is ready to edit right in the window. **9. Finish in the full editor** Choose **Open in editor**, then set the rest of the post. Or choose **Close**, and the draft stays in **Blog Posts**. * **Basics** tab: the **Author** (who wrote it), the **Category** and the **Publication Date** shown on the post. * **Content** tab: the **Featured image**, the main photo on the post's card and at its top. * **SEO** tab: how the post looks in search results. See [Write a post](https://docs.fetchski-attract.com/guides/content/blog.md#write-a-post) for each one. ## Try again with different notes Not quite right? In the finished draft, choose **Edit topic** to change your notes, or **Regenerate** to write it again with the same notes. Either one deletes the current draft first, including any edits you made in the window, so you never collect a pile of unused drafts. FetchskiAI asks first: choose **Delete draft and edit topic** or **Delete draft and regenerate**. ## What happens next The post is a draft, so visitors don't see it. When it's ready, open it in the full editor (from **Blog Posts**, choose its title) and choose **Publish** at the top right. Editors, Admins and Owners can publish. See [Drafts, publishing and scheduling](https://docs.fetchski-attract.com/guides/build-pages/publish-and-schedule.md). New images the post asked for are saved in your Images library. ## Troubleshooting > [accordion] Set up AI features first > > FetchskiAI isn't turned on for your site yet.
