We use Cohere for this project because it offers a free tier that meets our needs for generating high-quality content without the cost associated with other APIs, like OpenAI. Cohere's API provides powerful text generation capabilities, making it a suitable choice for creating SEO-optimized articles at no cost.
The engineered prompt used in the tool is crafted to ensure that the generated content is SEO-optimized, unique, and engaging. It includes:
The prompt directs the AI to produce a structured article with headings and subheadings, ensuring comprehensive coverage of the topic.

When I build this tool, I had a few key objectives in mind:
This tool is indeed designed to be a valuable resource for bloggers, content creators, and developers looking to generate high-quality content quickly and efficiently.
But, This was not easy to build, I had to face many challenges and issues while building this tool. I had to make sure that the content generated was unique, engaging, and human-like. I also had to handle errors, timeouts, and retries to ensure the tool's reliability.
First, I thought of using OpenAI for this project, but due to the cost associated with it, I decided to go with Cohere, which offers a free tier that meets our needs. Cohere's API provides powerful text generation capabilities, making it a suitable choice for creating SEO-optimized articles at no cost.
Then, I had to find an effective way to integrate dynamic images into the articles. I decided to fetch relevant images from Unsplash based on the topic, enhancing the visual appeal of the content. But Unsplah API was not free, so I had to find a way to fetch images.
Eventually, I found an Image API that was free and could be used to fetch images based on the topic. This integration added a new dimension to the tool, making the articles more visually appealing and engaging. The API allowed me to fetch images dynamically and include them in the generated content. Here is the link to the API: Lorem Flickr.
Overall, building this tool was a challenging but rewarding experience.
But Remmember, This tool is not perfect, and there is always room for improvement. I encourage you to contribute to the project, provide feedback, and help make it better. Together, we can create a valuable resource for the community.
I hope you find this tool useful for generating blog articles quickly and efficiently. If you have any feedback, suggestions, or issues, feel free to open an issue or reach out to me directly. I'm always looking to improve the tool and make it more user-friendly.
