The AI guide generator turns a one-line topic into a long-form local guide, weaving in real listings from your directory and grounding the writing in your knowledge base. Open a guide, fill in the box, and the finished draft lands in the editor for review.

Generating a guide
Add a topic prompt, set a target word count between 1,500 and 15,000, then pick the categories and locations to draw listings from. Optionally tick the knowledge base entries to ground the guide, then click Generate guide with AI.
How it builds the article
Generation runs as a short pipeline. It gathers the top-rated listings in your scope, asks the model to plan an outline with per-section budgets and a TL;DR, writes each section in turn, tops up if the draft is short, then autolinks business mentions and stitches everything together.
Hitting the target length
Each section carries a hard minimum word count, and after the planned sections are written the generator checks the total. If the draft is under 85 percent of target it adds up to two more sections on fresh angles, with no repetition of topics already covered. In testing a 6,000-word target produced 6,160 words.
TL;DR, tables and the shortcode
Every guide opens with a TL;DR callout built from the key takeaways, and sections use real HTML tables wherever a comparison or set of structured data fits. The TL;DR is rendered by a shortcode that you can also drop into any post or page yourself.
To add a summary box to your own content, wrap it in the shortcode below. The tag is [tldr]: WordPress shortcode tags cannot contain a semicolon, so the literal bracketed tl;dr form is not valid.
[tldr] <ul> <li>First key point</li> <li>Second key point</li> </ul> [/tldr]
After generation
The draft is pushed straight into the block editor with a title, ready for you to review and publish. The Guide metadata box records the final word count, the time it was generated, and the listings that were linked.
FAQ
Does it invent businesses?
No. It only mentions listings that exist in the categories and locations you scoped, and it links each one to its real listing page.
How do I stop it hallucinating facts?
Add the facts to the knowledge base and select them when you generate. They are passed as ground truth the model must not contradict.
Can I regenerate?
Yes. Adjust the topic, length, scope or knowledge base selection and generate again. The new draft replaces the editor content.
