Content Types

What are content types?

Overview

Machined supports multiple content types out of the box, allowing you to control the type of content that the writing agent will create.

If you prefer, you can also create a custom outline for any individual article.

When using the built-in content types, the AI Agent will automatically generate a suitable outline. You can instruct the writing agent to use either Title Case or Sentence Case when creating headings.
