Understanding Available AI Presets

Presets are pre-configured instructions that guide the AI engine on how to interpret and modify your existing text. Rather than writing complex prompts for every task, you can select from eight specialized presets designed for common editorial needs:

• SEO Optimization: This preset focuses strictly on the technical side of content, applying targeted keywords and improving metadata to boost visibility in search engine results pages.
• Content Refresh: Ideal for older evergreen content, this rule updates outdated phrasing and polishes the writing style to ensure the information feels current and professional.
• Fix Grammar & Polish: Acting as a digital proofreader, this preset corrects syntactical errors and typos without altering the original intent or meaning of the content.
• Make Concise: This rule condenses wordy articles, removing fluff to ensure the reader reaches the core message faster.
• Add Structure: The AI identifies opportunities to break up “walls of text” by auto-inserting H2 and H3 headings and converting paragraphs into bulleted lists where appropriate.
• Conversational Tone: Specifically designed for B2B or corporate sites, this preset rewrites stiff, overly formal text to sound more human and approachable.
• Simplify & Improve: This enhances overall readability, targeting a wider, more general audience by simplifying complex jargon.
• Complete Enhancement: An intensive, all-in-one upgrade that applies structural, grammatical, and stylistic improvements simultaneously.

Configuring Rewrite Rules and Scope

Before executing a bulk rewrite, you must define the scope of the operation. ensure your AI model is ready, while the configuration rules determine which specific data points the AI is allowed to touch.

Post Type & Status Filtering

Not all content requires the same level of optimization. The configuration panel allows you to filter posts based on their type (e.g., Pages vs. Posts vs. Custom Post Types) and their current status. For instance, many users prefer to run the “Complete Enhancement” preset only on “Draft” posts to review them before they go live.

Actions to Apply

You have full control over which fields the AI alters. You can toggle the following options within the ruleset:

• Title: Optimize the headline for better click-through rates.
• Editor Content: The main body of the post.
• Excerpt: The short summary used in archive pages.
• SEO Meta: Specifically targets meta titles and descriptions for search engines.

Workflow for Bulk Modifications

Once your presets and rules are defined, the process follows a logical sequence to ensure data integrity:

1. Search & Filter: Use the table to locate items by keyword, word count, or applied taxonomies.
2. Bulk Selection: Use the checkboxes to select specific posts or use the “Select All” toggle for mass updates.
3. Execution: Click the “Rewrite Selected Posts” button. The system will process the tasks in the background to avoid server timeouts.
4. Monitoring: A progress bar indicates the status of each post modification in real-time.

Practical Application Scenarios

To better understand how these rules function in a live environment, consider the following examples:

Scenario A: The SEO Audit. A site owner notices that 50 old blog posts have poor meta descriptions. By selecting the “SEO Optimization” preset and checking only the “SEO Meta” action, they can generate high-quality, keyword-rich descriptions for all 50 posts in a single click.

Scenario B: Improving Readability. A technical manual is too dense for new users. By applying the “Add Structure” and “Simplify & Improve” rules, the AI automatically inserts sub-headings and bullet points, making the documentation significantly easier to navigate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I undo a bulk rewrite?

Standard WordPress revisions are usually maintained; however, it is highly recommended to perform a full site backup before running bulk operations on live posts.

Which AI model is used for these presets?

The system utilizes the provider and model configured in your settings. For the best results with “Complete Enhancement,” GPT-4 or Gemini 1.5 Pro are recommended. Detailed setup steps can be found in the How to Import Demo Data in the Docy Theme guide.

Does this affect my SEO rankings immediately?

While the content is updated instantly on your site, search engines need time to crawl and index the changes before they reflect in search rankings.
