Quick Start
Transform text into a Medium article draft by generating the required 4-part structure with title variations, benefits, problem description, and solution.
Workflow
Step 1: Analyze Input Text
Read and understand the provided text:
- •Extract core message or topic
- •Identify the problem being discussed
- •Understand the solution being proposed
- •Note key benefits or outcomes
Step 2: Generate Title Variations
Create 3 distinct title options:
Title 1: Direct and descriptive
- •Clearly states the topic
- •Includes primary keyword if applicable
- •Example: "How to Optimize React Performance With These 5 Techniques"
Title 2: Benefit-oriented
- •Focuses on what the reader gains
- •Uses emotional or actionable language
- •Example: "Speed Up Your React App: 5 Performance Techniques That Work"
Title 3: Curiosity-driven
- •Creates intrigue without clickbait
- •Uses questions or contrasts
- •Example: "Why Your React App Is Slow (and 5 Ways to Fix It)"

Step 3: Structure the Article
Create the 4-part structure in this exact order:

Step 4: Apply Medium Formatting
Format the article for Medium readability:

###for subsections within each section - •Keep headers clear and descriptive

- •Use
**bold**for key terms and benefits - •Use
*italic*for emphasis - •Use code blocks for technical content
Structure for readability:
