ArticleGPT Review: Quickly Generate Specialized Content

Since OpenAI released an API for accessing its AI models, a wave of third-party tools has emerged, all attempting to build something useful based on them. However, not all these tools justify their cost. Among these new entrants is ArticleGPT by HIX.AI, a tool that promises to help bloggers, SEO professionals, marketers, and others create hallucination-free articles that have what it takes to get noticed by Google. Let’s find out whether ArticleGPT can truly enhance the content creation process or if it’s just another drop in the AI ocean.

Overview of Features

ArticleGPT is part of the HIX.AI suite, an all-in-one AI writing copilot we rated 7 out of 10 in our in-depth review. Its biggest selling point is the ability to produce thoroughly researched and fact-checked articles supported by trustworthy sources.

This tool is designed for a broad range of content needs, from bloggers seeking to enhance their posts to digital marketers aiming for SEO-optimized articles. ArticleGPT’s versatility is evident in the array of article types it can generate:

• General articles: ideal for a diverse range of topics, and all general articles are crafted to engage and inform, offering depth and insight.
• Amazon product roundups: aimed at affiliate marketers, product roundups offer a detailed look at selected Amazon products, combining accuracy with persuasive writing.
• Single Amazon product reviews: these deep looks at individual products blend detailed analysis and consumer-friendly information.
• General product roundups: similar to their Amazon counterparts, but with a broader scope, covering products from various platforms.
• Single product reviews: in-depth explorations of product features, benefits, and potential drawbacks.
• How-to guides: simplify complex tasks into easy-to-follow steps, providing clear and detailed instructions.
• News articles: perfect for covering current events, this type of AI-generated content puts emphasis on accuracy by incorporating and citing reference articles.
• Product comparisons: focused on contrasting and comparing two products to highlight their differences and similarities.
• Video to article (Coming Soon): aims to transform video content into engaging written articles.
• Podcast to article (Coming Soon): similar to the video-to-article feature but focused on converting audio content from podcasts into written form.

All article types can be generated by either GPT-3.5 or GPT-4, and this choice is significant in terms of content quality. GPT-3.5, already a robust model, offers reliable performance in crafting coherent and contextually relevant articles. However, GPT-4 takes this further with its advanced capabilities in understanding context, nuance, and even complex instructions. However, generating articles with GPT-4 is also slower and significantly more expensive.

Getting Started

The first step when starting with ArticleGPT is to head to their website and click the green Try for Free button in the top-right corner. Clicking this button takes you to a straightforward sign-up process. You have the choice of using your existing Google account or signing up with an email address.

Once you’ve chosen your preferred method and completed the signup process, you’re immediately ushered into the HIX.AI dashboard. You will then need to switch to the ArticleGPT dashboard by clicking on the ArticleGPT button under the Other Apps list.

For those eager to explore the full range of ArticleGPT’s offerings, simply click the View all button. This action reveals all the article types you can create using ArticleGPT, laying out a buffet of options for your content needs.

Using ArticleGPT

ArticleGPT offers two modes for content creation: One-Click Mode and High Quality Mode.

In One-Click Mode, the content creation process is streamlined to a single step. Input your topic or product, select primary and secondary keywords, and customize the tone and point of view. Advanced options allow further customization, like targeting a specific audience, setting a word count, or aligning with your brand’s voice. Once these parameters are set, hitting the Generate article button swiftly creates your content.

My experience with One-Click Mode was smooth and efficient. The tool quickly generated a draft that, while needing some fine-tuning, was a solid starting point, making this mode ideal for those under time constraints or needing a quick draft to build upon.

High Quality Mode starts similarly but adds layers of customization. After the initial setup, you can provide specific references, which is useful for ensuring factual accuracy. Additionally, you can customize the article’s title and even provide an outline, giving you greater control over the content’s structure and narrative flow.

Using High Quality Mode, I found that the generated content was closer to being publication-ready. It required less editing and more accurately reflected the detailed instructions provided. The trade-off, of course, is time, as High Quality Mode demands more input and preparation.

To really understand ArticleGPT’s capabilities, I decided to use it for various content types. First, I created a general article about SEO best practices, specifying that the article should offer practical, beginner-friendly advice. Using GPT-4, the AI took about a minute to produce a comprehensive 1,000-words-long piece that covered key topics, like keyword research, on-page optimization, and the importance of quality content.

However, I noticed a tendency for the AI to occasionally overuse certain phrases and rely on juxtaposition, a common trait in AI-generated content. Despite this, the depth of information and the ease with which I could tailor the article’s focus and depth with my instructions were impressive.

Next, I tasked ArticleGPT with crafting a news article in High-Quality Mode. I chose to cover the recent OpenAI DevDay and select a few online articles that were automatically suggested to me by the tool as references. ArticleGPT suggested multiple titles for the news story, and I picked the one I liked the most. The output was timely and factually accurate, demonstrating ArticleGPT’s ability to pull in current information. Most importantly, citations were included at the end – as they should.

Finally, I tested ArticleGPT’s prowess in creating a single Amazon product review. I chose a popular smartwatch and fed the tool with product details and customer reviews for context.

The review generated was detailed, balancing pros and cons effectively. It even included user experience aspects, a nice touch. There was a slight overuse of technical jargon, perhaps due to the input data, and some repetitions that required manual editing.

Checking the Facts

When it comes to AI-generated content, one of the biggest concerns is factual accuracy. To see how well ArticleGPT by HIX.AI holds up in this regard, I decided to fact-check an article produced by the tool. The piece in question, titled “OpenAI DevDay Unravels New Horizons for Custom Chatbot Development,” claimed to offer the latest insights into AI advancements. But was it all true?

To my pleasant surprise, the content was not just engaging and well-structured; it was also factually 100% accurate. The tool pulled information from three credible sources:

• an article from Forbes titled “OpenAI’s DevDay And Fake Bard Ads — AI’s Potential And Drawbacks On Display,”
• a piece from Acceleration Economy discussing “Key Highlights From OpenAI DevDay: GPT Store, GPT-4 Turbo, and Enterprise Use Cases,”
• and a comprehensive report by The Verge on “All the news from OpenAI’s DevDay conference.“

Interestingly, ArticleGPT utilized a numbered citation system, placing a reference number at the end of each paragraph. While this isn’t a common practice for most writers, it was effective in demonstrating that every fact and statement had a verifiable source.

Final Thoughts

ArticleGPT, with its reliance on GPT-3.5 and GPT-4, mirrors the strengths and weaknesses of these AI models. While it occasionally falls into the trap of overused words and structures, its ability to generate factually accurate and contextually relevant content is commendable.

The user-friendly interface of ArticleGPT further enhances its appeal by removing the need to master more advanced prompting techniques. Instead, high-quality content is always just one step away, and you’re always told exactly what kind of information you need to provide to obtain the desired result.

All this makes ArticleGPT particularly well-suited for bloggers, digital marketers, and SEO professionals who require regular, reliable content that resonates with their audience.
