Frequently asked questions
What does this outline generator actually do?
The tool turns your topic, content type, tone, and audience into a structured outline with sections, sub‑sections, and bullets you can paste into your editor or CMS.
It is designed to handle blog posts, YouTube scripts, landing pages, tutorials, and newsletters without you needing to engineer prompts each time.
How should the "topic or working title" be written?
Use a short, specific description of what the piece will cover, such as "Beginner's guide to AI automation for Shopify stores" instead of just "AI automation".
Adding a rough angle or audience inside the topic often leads to tighter sections and fewer irrelevant ideas in the outline.
What is the difference between the content types?
Each content type nudges the structure in a different way: blog posts favour intro/body/conclusion, YouTube scripts include hooks and segments, and landing pages emphasise sections like hero, benefits, and FAQs.
Tutorials push for step‑by‑step sections, while newsletters tend to group content into themes, highlights, and calls to action.
How do the tone and target audience fields affect the outline?
Tone influences how sections are framed, for example more direct for practical pieces, more explanatory for educational ones, or softer for friendly content.
The audience helps the model choose examples, jargon level, and what questions to anticipate, which is especially useful for non‑technical or niche segments.
What does "outline depth" change?
Simple depth gives you only main sections, which is useful when you want flexibility; standard adds key bullets under each section to hint at coverage.
Deep depth goes further with H2 and H3‑style hierarchy so long‑form pieces and complex topics are broken into smaller, more manageable chunks.
How should the "main goal or CTA" field be used?
Use this to describe the primary outcome you want, such as getting sign‑ups, driving demo bookings, or pushing viewers to a next video in a series.
The generator will try to position CTA‑friendly sections near the end and weave supporting arguments or proof points into earlier parts of the outline.
Can the same topic be regenerated to get alternative angles?
Yes, the regenerate button is meant for exploring variations on the same brief so you can pick the structure that best fits your brand or workflow.
Many users generate two or three outlines, keep the best sections from each, and merge them manually into a final master outline.
Is the output ready to publish as‑is?
The output is an outline, not full copy, so it should be treated as a starting point for writing or scripting rather than a final article or page.
You should still layer on your own expertise, examples, and product‑specific details before publishing, especially in regulated or sensitive domains.
