FEATURED STORY 🔥

U.S. Army Tests AI Chatbots in War Game Simulations

The US Army Research Laboratory is testing AI chatbots, like those from OpenAI, in military video game simulations to see if they can help with battle planning.

This is a new step for the Army, which has previously used AI to process battlefield images and pinpoint airstrike targets. However, the use of AI in actual combat scenarios is controversial, with experts warning against relying on it for critical decisions.

The current experiments are limited to simulations and there's no indication that AI chatbots will be deployed in real-world combat soon.

Part 3 of 4: Mini series on how I am automating my AI content production

CONTENT CREATION AUTOMATION

Last week I covered how I create my content briefs and today I am going to cover how I use them to create a finished piece of content.

I have a total 6 different prompts that I use to create a piece of content:

1. The main body of the text.
2. The META description.
3. The introduction.
4. The "Quick Answer" section.
5. The "Key Takeaway" section.
6. The FAQ section.

I also customize the content with the following inputs:

1. Language and spelling.
2. Word count.
3. Target audience.
4. Company name.
5. Company description.

Article Creation Process

I always start by creating the main body of the article first, and I do this section by section. A section is essentially an H2 heading and any H3 or H4 headings before the next H2 heading. Because of the detailed brief, the AI knows exactly what to include under each heading and what entities to include.

Once I create the first section, I pass the message history to the second section so it knows what has already been created (and my prompt tells it not to repeat anything).

The whole body is created like this and then stitched together at the end. My prompts tell the AI to create the content with the target audience in mind and also to mention and recommend the client's product or service (if required).

Now I have the body I pass this back to the other prompts to create the META, introduction, quick answer, key takeaways, and FAQ section. Again these are all stitched together to create the final article.

I used to do all of this manually - copying and pasting each prompt from my prompt library document into ChatGPT or Claude, then copying and pasting the reply into a Google Document. Now I use Moonlit to automate the entire process. I simply paste in the article title, brief, target audience, company name, and company description and a few minutes later I have the final article ready for review.

Next week I will show you a video of the full process from start to finish.
