AI Assisted Writing

AI Integration Content

Automad provides optional integrations with OpenAI and Claude APIs to assist with writing, transforming, and translating text-based content. Once you have configured an AI provider, you can access assistance through the prompt box in the bottom right corner.

The page content automatically serves as context for your prompts. To replace content with AI-generated output, select the text or multiple blocks you want to modify.

Content Handling

Generated content is inserted at your cursor position if nothing is selected. When content is selected, it is replaced entirely with the generated output.

AI-assisted writing works only with text-based blocks. Other content, such as layout sections or images, provides context but will be replaced by generated text when selected during a prompt.

The AI assistant generates valid HTML content, including paragraphs, headings, and lists.

In Automad, changes made to content fields — such as blocks or settings — are saved automatically. These changes are stored as drafts. Signed-in users can see and edit drafts at any time, while public visitors only see content that has been published. This makes it easy to work on content over a longer period without exposing unfinished pages to your visitors.

Global Defaults

One of Automad’s core ideas is the concept of global defaults. Many fields can be set either globally or individually for each page. When a page is displayed, Automad first checks the page itself for a value. If nothing is set there, it falls back to the global data.

Blocks are small, self-contained pieces of content such as text paragraphs, headings, galleries, slideshows, and more. You can also add dynamic content like Pagelists, Filelists, or custom snippets. The block editor offers an intuitive editing experience and lets users freely compose a page from multiple blocks.

Layouts in Automad are created using the Layout Section block. They can be added anywhere on a page and can contain other Layout Sections, allowing you to create complex, nested designs. Sections can also be set to stretch to the full width of the content area or page. Watch the short videos on this page to see these features in action.

Components in Automad are reusable, static compilations of blocks that let you create consistent sections across your site without having to rebuild them each time. They are ideal for content such as call-to-action elements, card grids, address blocks, or any combination of snippets that should appear in multiple places.
