Writing your first draft

When you click Generate content →, Skribt creates your article on the writing screen. This page explains what happens during that first draft.

What you see

In the chat panel, a checklist shows high-level progress:

1. Reading your brief — audience, tone, goals, key points, length.
2. Researching sources — optional web search and reading URLs/files you provided (if enabled and needed).
3. Drafting the article — full HTML article written into the editor.
4. Polishing for SEO — Skribt checks SEO and makes targeted fixes.

The article panel fills in as the draft streams. A timer may show elapsed seconds. When finished, the chat stays available for follow-up edits.

What Skribt does behind the scenes (user-level, not technical)

• Follows your outline and brief.
• Respects article length (short / medium / long word targets).
• Uses your writing profile and formatting preferences.
• Cites manual sources you attached in the brief.
• Adds internal links from sitemaps you selected (when configured).
• May search the web during the first draft if Allow AI to research the web was enabled in the brief.
• Aims for strong SEO (including running SEO checks and fixing issues when possible).

You do not need to run a separate "review" or "approve draft" step — refinement happens in the same chat afterward.
