AI Article Outline Generator

The AI Article Outline Generator plans your article so you can write it in one go: H2 and H3 headings in the right order, what to cover in each, and how many words each section gets, adding up to the length you want.

Why it's different

• A word budget per section. Computed from your target length, so the article comes out the size you planned.
• Honest. Claims that need data are marked for a source; no statistic is invented.
• SEO-checked. Keyword coverage in the H2s, duplicate headings flagged, questions readers ask for an FAQ.
• Ready to use. Copy as Markdown or HTML, tick sections off as you write, and draft any section in one click.

How to outline an article with AI

1. Describe the topic and add your keyword and readers.
2. Choose the type and the length.
3. Click Create outline, reorder or rename headings in your editor, and start writing.

Tips

• Write the promise first. If a section doesn't serve it, cut it.
• Front-load value. Put the section most readers came for early.
• Source as you go. Fill each "back this up" note before you move on.

Frequently asked questions

How do I write an article outline?

Start with the promise: what the reader will know or be able to do at the end. Then list the sections in the order they need them, each with a clear H2, a few H3s and the points to cover. Give each section a word budget so the article ends up the length you want. This tool does all of that from a topic.

How many sections should an article have?

About one H2 per 200 to 300 words: four or five for an 800-word post, five to seven for 1,500 words, seven to nine for a long guide. The word budget shows how long each section should be.

Does it make up statistics?

No. Where a section needs a figure (a cost, a percentage, a study), the outline says so as a "back this up with a source" note instead of inventing a number. Drafted sections do the same with [source needed].

Is the outline good for SEO?

Headings are specific and scannable, the keyword coverage of the H2s is checked, similar headings are flagged, and the questions readers ask are listed for an FAQ section. Pair it with the blog title generator for the title.

Can I export it?

Copy it as Markdown (# ## ### and bullets, for Google Docs, Notion or WordPress) or as HTML headings, or download a .md file. Tick sections off as you write; your progress is kept in this browser.

Is it free?

Yes. Every day you get free AI runs, and each run gives a complete outline. Exports, the checklist and the checks are always free, and the examples on this page don't use a run. Drafting a section uses one run.
