Authors

Give your content a human touch. Create multiple authors with unique personalities, writing styles, and expertise areas to make your AI-generated posts feel more authentic and diverse.

Each author can have their own personality that influences how the AI writes content. This helps create consistent, recognizable voices across your blog.

Why Use Multiple Authors?

Instead of having all your content sound the same, authors let you create diverse voices that match different topics and audiences. Think of it as having a team of writers, each with their own expertise and style.

What authors enable:

  • Consistent voice - Each author maintains their unique personality across posts
  • Topic expertise - Match the right author to the right subject matter
  • Audience targeting - Different authors can appeal to different reader segments
  • Brand diversity - Multiple perspectives make your content more engaging
