Source-backed content generation

How it works

1. Start from a gap — a prompt where engines cite competitors, an opportunity your audit surfaced, or a topic you pick.
2. Research first — PilotCite runs deep research on the topic, collecting facts with their source URLs. You see what the article will be grounded in before it's written.
3. Generate with references — the article is written against those verified facts and cites its sources. You can steer structure, keywords, and reference URLs (which are safety-checked before fetching).
4. Edit and publish — export the result into your CMS. Generated images are included where they help.

Why grounding matters for GEO

Engines cite pages that state checkable claims. An article assembled from verified facts — with sources — is exactly the citable-atom structure that wins citations (how AI engines choose what to cite). Ungrounded AI content is the opposite: fluent, unciteable, and increasingly filtered.

Honest limits

Generation consumes plan quota per article, and research runs are metered per plan. Failed jobs refund their quota automatically. The output is a strong grounded draft — your product truths and voice still need your edit before publishing. That's by design; publish-without-reading is how brands end up cited for errors.
