Write a Factually Accurate Article

Jasper can write a factually accurate article when you help him know which facts to include by providing them yourself. We hope this workflow got you off to a good start - If you have any other ideas, tips, and tricks please share them with us inside our Facebook Community 🤖

How Jasper Thinks

Jasper is designed to write creatively. However, this does not mean he cannot write a factually accurate article. The underlying AI model that powers Jasper was trained by reading a large portion of the internet to understand how people write. Jasper has read millions of blog posts, Reddit threads, websites, newspapers, and more. This gives Jasper an unbelievable grasp of imitating the human language and creating content most find exceptional.

Filler "Facts"

When you see Jasper give you a citation, a random name, a phone number, an email, or even a social media handle, those are what we call filler texts. You will want to replace those with the correct information.

Jasper writes creatively based on patterns he has seen across the internet. Those "facts" NEED to be replaced by you (as the editor) almost all the time. He gives you an idea of what your next piece of content could look like based on what you've already written. So, in essence, they are a pattern for you to go back in and correct the information so that you can add that to your content.

As Jasper continues to write, he will likely make up some facts you'll want to correct, but feeding him with correct information will significantly increase the chances of him writing accurate information. Feed Jasper those facts as you write to ensure that what Jasper is writing about is correct.

Suggested Workflow

Step 1: Plan your Content with Chat

This should be your first rule of thumb for any content you want to write with Jasper. We find it helpful to think backward. Think through what you would wish your desired outcome for Jasper to produce and work back from that.

Jasper Chat is GREAT for ideation. You can command chat to generate a list of innovative content ideas for your topic.

• Jasper Chat can be your go-to to write technical or scientific content. Turn on "Google Search results" and Jasper will be able to pull current, factual data on your niche with links to relevant sources

Step 2: Research your Facts

Using the thoughts above, make a list of facts that you want to include in your article to plug those in as needed. By turning on Google Search results, you will also be able to get a list of accompanying facts. Try to be as thorough as possible on the front end, and this will save you time and energy while writing with Jasper.

Example: I want to write an article about the top 5 best plant-based proteins.

Facts needed throughout:

What is a plant-based protein?

What are the top 5 plant-based proteins according to sourced nutritionists, dietitians, and doctors?

Step 3: Create an Outline using Jasper and Write your Content

Now, let's begin writing:

1. With your Chat content as your base for the blog/article, open up a new doc by navigating to documents → “start from scratch”.
2. Use the Jasper command: "Write a blog post intro paragraph about plant-based protein" and run that command. If you need help with Jasper commands, see this help doc.
3. Open up Power Mode in the document editor.
4. Use the Blog Post Outline template to create an outline for your article and paste your favorite one into the document. OR - use the outline you've already made in Jasper Chat. Use this outline as H2's for your blog post or article.
5. Use the shortcode *** to separate each blog post paragraph. To learn more about what this shortcode does, see here. This is an optional step. These asterisks will tell Jasper that you do not want him to refer to the content written above. This is usually an excellent addition to your workflow if you're going to "refocus" Jasper on your blog's body paragraph.
6. Enter your fact under your H2 for your blog post paragraph, select "compose" (to write the following sentence), and build out your article's body.
7. Continue writing with Jasper commands and the compose button to complete your article. Add in your facts as you see fit. If Jasper writes a "fact" that you are not sure about, make sure to double-check those facts inside a reliable source.
8. There are many commands you could try here:
   • Answer the question: why are lentils a good source of protein
   • Write some persuasive bullet points about getting protein from almonds.
   • Make a list of meals made out of chickpeas.
9. Wrap it up with the command, "write a blog post conclusion paragraph about the benefits of plant-based proteins: spirulina, tofu, and almonds."
