For best results, tag relevant documents from your knowledge base before using AI Writer. This ensures the generated content aligns with your existing information and maintains consistency.
Integration with Knowledge Base
AI Writer becomes more powerful when combined with Aethera’s knowledge management features:

- Maintains consistency with your existing knowledge base
Persona Integration
- Use specific personas to influence the AI Writer’s style and expertise
- Generate content from the perspective of different subject matter experts
- Maintain consistent voice across different document sections
Troubleshooting and Tips
Common Issues and Solutions
Generated content doesn’t match my style:
- Use the “Change Tone” feature to adjust the writing style
- Provide more specific prompts about the desired tone and voice
Content lacks relevant details:
- Tag more specific documents from your knowledge base
- Provide additional context in your prompts
- Use the “Make Longer” feature to expand on generated content
AI Writer suggestions seem irrelevant:
- Ensure you’ve tagged the most relevant documents

Always review AI-generated content before finalizing your document. While AI Writer is highly capable, human oversight ensures accuracy and maintains your unique voice.
