Article Outline Generator

What this tool does

The Article Outline Generator turns a topic, audience, article type, and desired depth into a structured outline. You get a working H1, an introduction angle, a list of H2 sections (with optional H3 sub-points), a conclusion, and suggested FAQ topics.

Outlines are the highest-leverage part of writing: they force you to decide the argument before you draft. This tool gives you a defensible starting structure in seconds, which you then adapt to your own expertise.

Like the other generators here, it runs on reusable templates rather than a remote AI model, so it is free, private, and predictable.

How to use it

1. Enter your topic and target audience.
2. Choose an article type: how-to guide, listicle, beginner guide, comparison, or case study.
3. Pick a depth — Standard, Deep, or Very deep — to control H3 detail.
4. Generate, then copy the outline into your editor and flesh out each section.

How it works

• Each article type maps to a proven section pattern. For example, how-to guides follow: what it is, core principles, steps, mistakes, and tools.
• Depth controls sub-points: Deep adds key-idea and example H3s to each section; Very deep also adds a common-objection sub-point.
• The H1 and introduction are composed from your topic and audience so the result reads as a coherent plan, not a list of labels.

Example

Topic "cold email outreach", type "how-to guide", deep depth produces sections from "What cold email outreach is" through "Step 1: Prepare" to "Common mistakes to avoid".
