Complete the onboarding

After your first login, the onboarding wizard guides you through 3 steps:

1. Organization — Name your organization (e.g., "My Tech Blog")
2. Preferences — Select your countries, categories, and languages of interest
3. Plan — Choose a plan (Free is fine to start)

This creates your first site automatically.

Navigate to Write Article

From the Dashboard, click the "Write Article" button in the top-right corner, or navigate to Articles > New Article in the sidebar.

Choose Agent mode and enter a topic

You'll see two generation modes:

• Gateway — Quick generation, fewer sources
• Agent — Full process with source discovery, more thorough (recommended)

Select Agent mode, then:

1. Enter a topic (e.g., "Latest breakthroughs in quantum computing")
2. Select the desired tone (neutral, analytical, casual, formal)
3. Choose a target length (short ~500 words, medium ~1000, long ~2000)
4. Click "Generate"

Watch the generation in real time

IANews streams the article in real time as it's being written. You'll see:

1. Source discovery — Finding relevant articles and papers
2. Intelligent search — Selecting the best passages
3. Writing — The article appears paragraph by paragraph
4. Citations — Inline [1], [2] references are added

The entire process takes approximately 75 seconds.

Review in the AI editor

Once generation is complete, you're taken to the AI editor where you can:

• Edit any part of the text
• Check citations by hovering over [N] badges
• Use the AI sidebar for suggestions (rephrase, expand, summarize)
• Add or replace images
• Adjust SEO metadata (title, description, keywords)

Publish

When you're satisfied with the article:

1. Click "Publish" in the top-right corner
2. If you have a CMS connected (WordPress, Ghost), select the target
3. Otherwise, the article is marked as "Published" in IANews

You can always come back to edit or republish later.
