Creating your first article

The flow from entering a keyword to getting a finished draft

Try creating one article

Open "Sorabun > New Article."

  1. Choose what to base the article on (keyword / YouTube URL / web page URL)
  2. Enter a keyword (for example, hometown tax donation how to)
  3. Choose an optimization type. If you're not sure, "Hybrid" is a fine choice
  4. Decide the character count, number of diagrams, and whether to include a featured image (you can also set all of these to "Leave it to AI")
  5. Press "Start generation"

Generation takes a few minutes. The progress bar moves through "Research → Outline → Writing → Images → Publish." Processing continues even if you close the screen.

Reviewing the outline before writing starts

Turning on outline review under "Settings > Generation defaults" pauses generation once the heading structure is ready. You can add, remove, or reorder headings before letting it proceed to writing the body, which prevents articles that miss the mark.

Proceeding without waiting for review

While outline review is on, an article isn't finished until you approve its outline. You can have outlines that sit untouched auto-approve after a set time.

Under "Settings > Generation defaults > Auto-approve outline" (outline_auto_approve), choose from 30 minutes / 1 hour / 3 hours / 24 hours (off by default).

You can also click "Approve as-is" on a pending row in "Jobs / History" to move straight to writing.

The finished article

By default, articles are saved as a draft. Review the content and publish it once you're satisfied.

Every article automatically includes:

  • Body text that follows the heading structure
  • A featured image (with the title text overlaid)
  • Diagram images
  • Links to related articles and internal links
  • Structured data (JSON-LD)
Always review before publishing

AI-written text can contain factual errors. Always verify amounts, dates, laws, and anything related to medicine or finance against primary sources. Google doesn't reward "mass-produced auto-generated content with no human involvement."

Changing what the article is based on

  • Keyword: builds an article from search demand. This is the most basic way to use Sorabun
  • YouTube URL: transcribes a video's content into an article (Pro, requires the SUPADATA API)
  • Web page URL: builds an article informed by the content of a reference page (Pro)

Checking progress and retrying

"Sorabun > Jobs / History" shows jobs that are running, complete, or failed. Failed jobs can be retried, and if a job had already made progress, it resumes from where it left off.
