Headline Generator

What this tool does

The Headline Generator produces multiple headline options from four inputs: topic, audience, tone, and content type. Each result is built from a named formula — such as "How to" + topic, or "Adjective + topic + guide" — so you can see exactly why it works.

It runs on deterministic templates rather than a remote AI model, which means it is instant, free, and private. That also makes it easy to reason about: you can learn the underlying patterns and reuse them in your own writing.

The architecture is designed so a language-model provider can be plugged in later without changing the tool interface. For now, the template engine covers the most proven headline patterns.

How to use it

1. Enter your topic — for example, "email newsletters".
2. Add an audience (optional) and pick a tone and content type.
3. Click Generate to produce a set of headline formulas.
4. Copy the strongest options into the Headline Analyzer to refine them.

How it works

• Each headline combines your inputs with a reusable formula: "How to {topic} for {audience}", "The {content type} to {topic}", "What Everyone Gets Wrong About {topic}", and more.
• Tone influences an adjective (practical, proven, smart, etc.). The content type becomes a label inside the headline.
• Because generation is template-based, results are deterministic for the same inputs — and trivially upgradeable to an LLM later.

Example

Topic "freelance pricing", audience "new freelancers", tone "professional", content type "guide" yields: "Proven Freelance Pricing for New Freelancers: A Complete Guide".
