Configuring the AI Assistant of the Digital editor in Studio – Home

The AI Assistant of the Digital editor in Studio is used for optimizing the content of a Digital article to make sure that it conforms to the writing style for the publication it is going to be published in and the audience it is aimed at, and that it is factually and grammatically correct. It can also advise on the effectiveness of the content in relation to search engine optimization (SEO).

The AI Assistant can be used as-is, but the results of some of its features are based on content that represents the tone and style of an article for that publication, a description of the target audience, keywords for search engine optimization, and custom prompts.

This applies to the following features:

Tone and style. This is based on a representative article. This article should be part of the same Brand and Category that the analyzed article is part of. Multiple reference articles can be created, one for each Brand and Category combination.

Example: For the same publication, a reference article for the financial category could be set up, another for sports, yet another for fashion, and so on. Each article could have its own tone, style, and target audience.

Note: If no reference article could be found, the action is not executed and a warning is shown to the user.

SEO. The main keywords for which you would like to optimize the article can be provided so that the article is better rated by online search engines.

Custom prompts. When other AI prompts are needed than the ones that are provided by default, custom prompts can be added to the menu.

Creating a reference article representing tone and style

In this step, a reference article is created that the 'Tone and style' option requires in order to work. Multiple reference articles can be created, one for each Brand and Category combination.

Step 1. Create an article or a copy of an article which content is representative for that category. Make sure it is saved to the same Brand and Category that the articles are part of in which the AI Assistant is going to be used.

Step 2. Make sure that the title of the article starts with Tone and style sample article.

Tip: Because multiple articles are likely to be created for each Category within the same Brand, distinguish each article by adding the Category name to the title. For example: 'Tone and style sample article - Finance'.

Step 3. In the Properties panel for the article, add an extensive description of the target audience in the Description field.

Tip: For best results, describe the type of person that the article is aimed at, including their age, interests, demography, and so on.

Step 4. Create as many reference articles as needed within the Brand, one for each Category.

Adding SEO keywords

The SEO option uses the keywords that are defined in the properties of the article.

In the Properties panel for the article, add these to the Keywords field.

Adding custom prompts

When additional prompts are needed other than the ones that are provided by default, custom prompts can be added.

Note: See Optimizing an article by using the AI Assistant in the Digital editor of Studio for an overview of the standard and custom prompts that are provided by WoodWing.

A custom prompt can be made available per Brand if their use is only relevant for the types of articles within that Brand.

Step 1. Create an Excel sheet named Custom prompts (optionally with post fix text to make it unique) with the following columns and content:

display-name. The name of the option as it will appear in the 'What can we help you with today?' menu.

custom-prompt. The custom prompt.

Examples:

'Create 3 digital titles for this article'.

To influence the title and description, use: 'for the title use: ‘my custom title', and for the description use 'my custom description’.

By default, it will attempt to return values as a list of paragraphs. This can be influenced by saying something like: “return x as a list”. Lists will be presented as bullet lists.

For more examples, see below.

brand-names. (Optional) The names of one or more Brands that the option should be available in. Separate multiple Brands with a comma.

supports-selection. Defines if the analysis is done on the full article or on selected text or selected components only. Use one of the following values:

Value

Remark

Any value

When any value is present, the analysis is only done on selected text or selected components.

Notes:

Enter Yes to clearly indicate that selection support is enabled.
Selection support is enabled when any value is present; so even when adding 'No' or a space.

Blank

Support for selections is disabled.

See the end of this section for an example of the Excel file for the default custom prompts that are available in the Studio demo environment.

Step 2. Add the Excel sheet file to one of the Brands within your environment.

Step 3. Use a combination of Access Rights and Workflow Statuses to prevent regular users from modifying the file.

Step 4. Test the prompts using various articles to see if they provide the expected results. Adjust the prompts when needed.
