A COMMUNITY Discussion on The Designer & Author Platforms at WA.
Hey Everyone,
Lots of folks here are publishing content with a high rate of success in search using the AI Author platform here, along side the Content Designer which is great. Feedback one these platforms have been excellent thus far!
But, in true Wealthy Affiliate fashion, we are never done evolving, innovating and improving the platforms here.
We have rolled out several changes to this platform already, but we are going to be investing a lot of resources into further implementations and features within both the Designer and Authoring platform. Today I wanted to reach out and get your feedback on recommendations that you have for improvements or feature requests.
Our goal is ongoing, and the focus is to minimize the edits and additions that you need to head into Wordpress to accomplish, but also to streamline the quality so that you have to make fewer and fewer edits to polish the output of content that fits your needs.
Your Feedback Matters...
So if you can take a second and answer a few questions (in the comments below), it would be super helpful for us.
(1) What are the ideal feature additions that we could offer you within the Content Designer?
(2) What are the ideal feature additions that we could offer you within AI Author Platform?
One thing we are aiming to avoid is complexity, and this happens when we have to put too much work and decision making into the users hands. Having too many controls, can also have a big adverse impact on the "output" of AI, something that we have discovered through the last 18 months of intensive testing, and prompt engineering.
Like the approach Apple takes with all of it's products, we want it to just work, and work VERY well....removing all the technical hurdles on your end. You are going to see some exciting updates to these platforms (along with hubs) in the coming weeks and months ahead. We are going to continue to position you for the utmost success within the online world.
As always, thanks for your feedback and I look forward to hearing from you.

I'm like some of the others who have commented on this in that, at least at this point, I am greatly satisfied with the Content Designer and Author Platform. Of course, I've only been using them for a short time, but for right now I don't see much that can improve them. Check with me in a month though. ;)

Hey Kyle!
My suggestion is this:
The ability to not have the AI author to include intro (although now that I think about it, I could ask for that in that initial window?)
I get annoyed with AI intros and didn't expect the Authors to write a significant chunk on that when I only gave a couple specific topics to focus on and JUST write on those topics.
But unlike CGPT, I can't tell it to redo it the way I want it to.
So I've come up with a list finally for this, after taking some time to truly see what I was missing from the HUBS platform.
1) What about a Brand Voice? I like having the ability to choose between copywriter or conversationalist, but what if we had options or tools available to choose our own unique path to write blogs/articles? Once the template is input, we can choose how we want our own tone to be (Multi-checkbox style), and come out. This would be through the initial setup of making your brand. If we had our own brand voice, we could get our own style of articles to be written. (With always double checking for accuracy at the end).
2) Content Improvers: For some of us that have written content on here for a while, what if we wanted to rebrand, or re-voice, or just update information. This could not only re-write an existing article into your newly input brand voice, but could also improve the chances of updating your SEO scores...
This brings me to..
3) SEO Scores and Keyword, and DA trackers: Somewhere in the writing process, I know we have plug-ins available for such problems, but why not advance one-step further within the writing platform and incorporate a list of keywords available once the article is written. I know we've used our jaxxy tool to find our focus keyword, but once this is included, the writer would generate a list of keywords to rank for within the writing style. It would also give us an SEO score in which we could rank at if published or revised, and it would let us know if it increases our DA (domain authority) after publishing.
I know these things maybe too far fetched, or just me dreaming, but the experience I've had thus far here at WA has seen me sporting around a sports car when I first arrived to getting Limo treatment. The next thing I envision by implementing some, most or any of these suggestions would be the upgrade from a limo to a boeing 747.
"Go hard or Go home" in a sense.
First off, nothing is too far fetched. Every idea is a good idea, and some will make sense to the broader platform, some will make partial sense or is a good start, and of course come won't make sense (including lots of ours lol). But those ideas/feedback are all going to contribute to the improvements and innovations within the platform.
1) What about a Brand Voice? I like having the ability to choose between copywriter or conversationalist, but what if we had options or tools available to choose our own unique path to write blogs/articles?

If we had our own brand voice, we could get our own style of articles to be written. (With always double checking for accuracy at the end).
Yes, we have lots of ideas as to how we can allow for some level of influence on the writers. We initially had a series of check boxes, but it was very difficult to know which attributes you wanted, and which ones you didn't (you don't know until you see the output), then it is tough to really decide on which ones work and which ones don't.
I do like the brand integration and awareness, and we already have that with your actual Hub, so that is something that you shouldn't need to input.
2) Content Improvers: For some of us that have written content on here for a while, what if we wanted to rebrand, or re-voice, or just update information. This could not only re-write an existing article into your newly input brand voice, but could also improve the chances of updating your SEO scores...
Yes, I like that and we have this on the list already. A Magic Rewrite tool of sorts that you could leverage with existing content, or content that you wanted to further polish after the Author produced it.
3) SEO Scores and Keyword, and DA trackers: Somewhere in the writing process, I know we have plug-ins available for such problems, but why not advance one-step further within the writing platform and incorporate a list of keywords available once the article is written. I know we've used our jaxxy tool to find our focus keyword, but once this is included, the writer would generate a list of keywords to rank for within the writing style. It would also give us an SEO score in which we could rank at if published or revised, and it would let us know if it increases our DA (domain authority) after publishing.
The Authors already have knowledge of all the latest SEO practices, so that is something that is taken into consideration with the construction of the content. One thing that we have to be careful about is using "data" that may send the wrong signals, things like DA are becoming less and less important as Google "thinks' it has a better handle on finding helpful/useful content. So don't be fixated on DA, they just came down on Guest Blogging within their latest core update, and I would expect less and less weight to be on this moving foward.
But yes, I like the overall idea of something on the SEO side to scan or to give certain important and useful feedback, we just need to decide on what that is...because more data isn't always better, often times it can lead people to creating inferior content trying to fit within that misleading criteria.

Thanks for your feedback here Jeremy, really appreciate it! ;)
I'd like to make mention of 2 websites that I've been contemplating lately, but am stalling, because I feel if the same integrations were applied within WA here, you know, if we even have to purchase more 'credits' to obtain these things, then I'd just stay here.
But the 1st is called diib. Ive been keeping my eyes on that platform, and the second was called Anyword. The diib platform focuses more on backend stuff within your website and Anyword would be a useful starting point to help identify how to make the Brand voice for your own personal AI writing tools get better.
You said : we have lots of ideas as to how we can allow for some level of influence on the writers. We initially had a series of check boxes, but it was very difficult to know which attributes you wanted, and which ones you didn't (you don't know until you see the output), then it is tough to really decide on which ones work and which ones don't.
Well, I think following the same sort of criteria that Anyword uses is a good starting point, but refining it for the WA side of things. I used it on a free trial basis and was super impressed with the results. I'd be more inclined to use that over our AI writer but it's price point is steep (for us non-profit makers - yet). Although I do like the copyright and conversationalist styles, I found with Anyword, I was able to actually tailor it to my voice. It was really unique.
As for diib.. great to know about recognizing DA and Googles stance on that, I'll continue to sit on the fence with that platform, but having similar integrations within WA again would make this the "king of kings of affiliate marketing platforms" in my opinion. (Not that I don't already love it). ;)
Maybe a little bit closer than precisely the answer to the question.
But when you made a category un the hubs you get 10 good ideas. And sometimes, most of the times, it bring intresant topic cluster as I know from you that the plan is.
Sometimes, I use it, but I had already written about 3 ideas out of 10. I know that I can connect it with the old one.
But many times I would like to move these 3 to get new and fresh (if we forget, I can use the old typical but good methods :) )
So I just wanted to throw this idea in the cosmos!
Thanks for your feedback here. The categories definitely allow you to build out topical/keyword clusters with efficiency, and these provide you with high intent content ideas. So opportunity is revealed efficiently.
One thing that we want to do is offer a quicker way to build out these clusters through "bulk" writing jobs, versus having to go through each design, and creation process. Something that we are going to be tackling in the coming months.

I was excited to see that AI was integrated within WA. However, I don't usually use the author platform to write blog articles, I use chatgpt instead.
The reason is that the content provided by AI on a certain topic is too generic, and I ask chatgpt to write me a blog post on a certain topic in a style of some famous person on the Internet and it does a pretty good job to add that personal touch to the article which doesn't need to much editing from me. I tried to ask this to the AI writing platform here at WA and the result that it produces is weird, like it includes in the article words like "in the style of ..." and repeating my words that I asked it to do. In other words, it's not that smart compared to chatgpt. And additionally I can ask chatgpt to update the article that it produces several times if I like.
The advantage of the AI content writer here at WA is that it writes blog articles which are more than 1000 words, while chat gpt usually produces articles up to 700 word articles, and I have to ask it sometimes to add an additional section or more to produce more words.
One suggestion is that if the AI writing platform could include in the article images for each general sub-topic of the articles automatically.
Another thing is that, I've customized chatgpt in my profile, so it knows what I do and my website so it often uses vocabulary related to that, which helps more on creating customized articles.
As for the hubs, I don't use them at all. They suggest topics that, depending on the niche, are too broad and I don't think those keywords would rank on Google. I hand-pick keywords instead to make sure they are low competition ones. This is just personal, but I don't ideas from the hubs for content to write, the beautiful think about this for me, is that I always have ideas for topics to write in my niche which are less competitive.
I am excited to see the new additions and improvements that will be made with the help of AI to the WA platform and maybe I will use it more in the future.
