Preparing Your Content for AI Composer

Before using the AI Composer in JustCMS to transform your existing content, it's important to properly prepare both your content and prompts. The right preparation will help you get the best results from the AI composer.

Organizing Your Source Content

When preparing your existing content, make sure it contains all the necessary information you want to include in your final article. In our example, we used content from a GitHub repository about Svelte integration. Having your source content ready and well-organized makes the process much smoother.

Gather All Information

Collect all relevant content from your existing sources

Review for Completeness

Ensure all necessary details are included in your source material

Clean Up Format

Remove any unnecessary formatting or structure from source content

Crafting an Effective Prompt

The prompt you provide to the AI Composer is crucial for getting the desired output. A well-crafted prompt should clearly specify:

  • The type of content you want to create
  • The desired style and tone
  • Any specific formatting requirements
  • Instructions about using only the provided information

Be Specific

Clearly state what you want the AI to create

Set Boundaries

Specify that AI should only use provided information

Define Style

Indicate the desired tone and format of the output

Example Prompt Structure

Here's an example of a well-structured prompt used in our case:

"Create an integration guide for JustCMS with Svelte using only the provided information. Keep it as short and simple as possible. The article should emphasize how easy the process is by offering a concise and straightforward guide. Use ONLY the information from the following data. Do not introduce any new details."

Clear Purpose

Integration guide creation

Style Direction

Short, simple, and straightforward

Content Limitation

Use only provided information

Remember that the AI Composer will also utilize your project's styling guide, so you don't need to include basic formatting instructions in your prompt. Focus on the specific requirements for your content transformation task.

Using the AI Composer in JustCMS

The AI Composer in JustCMS offers a powerful way to transform your existing content into well-structured articles. Let's walk through the simple process of using this tool effectively.

Step-by-Step Guide to Using the Composer

Access the Composer

Navigate to the Pages section and click on the Composer button

Prepare Your Prompt

Write a clear instruction for the AI about how to structure your content

Add Source Content

Copy and paste your existing content that needs to be transformed

Generate Article

Click Create and let the AI transform your content

Writing Effective Prompts

Creating an effective prompt is crucial for getting the desired results. Here's an example of a well-structured prompt:

'Create an integration guide for JustCMS using only the provided information. Keep it as short and simple as possible. The article should emphasize how easy the process is by offering a concise and straightforward guide. Use ONLY the information from the following data. Do not introduce any new details.'

Be Specific

Clearly state what type of content you want to create

Set Boundaries

Specify if AI should only use provided information

Define Style

Indicate the desired tone and complexity level

State Purpose

Explain the main goal of the content

Adding Your Source Content

After writing your prompt, simply paste your source content into the designated area. The AI Composer will use this information along with your project's styling guide to create a well-formatted article that matches your website's tone and style.

Processing and Generation

Once you've added both the prompt and source content, click the Create button. The AI Composer will take a few minutes to process your request and generate a structured article. During this time, it:

  • Analyzes your source content
  • Applies your styling guidelines
  • Organizes information logically
  • Creates a coherent article structure

Tips for Best Results

Review Source Content

Ensure your source material contains all necessary information

Be Clear in Prompts

Avoid ambiguous instructions that might confuse the AI

Use Styling Guidelines

Let the AI follow your project's predefined style rules

Keep it Focused

Provide only relevant information for the specific article

Final Touches and Publishing

After the AI Composer generates your article, it's important to review and enhance it before publishing. This final stage ensures your content meets quality standards and includes all necessary elements.

Review and Edit

Check the Title

Make sure the title is clear and accurately reflects the content

Review Categories

Select the appropriate category for your article

Proofread Content

Look for any grammar or formatting issues that need adjustment

Take time to read through the generated content carefully. While the AI Composer creates well-structured articles, you might want to tweak certain phrases or adjust formatting to better match your style.

Adding CTA Buttons

CTA (Call-to-Action) buttons are important elements that guide readers to take specific actions. In JustCMS, adding a CTA button is straightforward:

Select Button Location

Choose where to place your CTA button in the article

Add Button Text

Create clear and action-oriented button text

Insert URL

Add the destination link for your CTA button

For example, if you're creating an integration guide, you might want to add a 'Get Source Code from GitHub' CTA button at the beginning of your article. This helps readers quickly access additional resources.

Publishing Your Content

Preview

Check how your article looks on the website

Save Changes

Ensure all your edits are saved

Publish

Make your content live on the website

Once you're satisfied with all the elements of your article, including the content, formatting, and CTA buttons, simply click 'Save and Publish'. Your article will immediately be available on your website for readers to access.

Remember to verify the published content by visiting the live page to ensure everything appears as intended.
