Jasper can write a factually accurate article when you help him know which facts to include by providing them yourself. We hope these tips get you off to a good start - if you have any other ideas, tips, and tricks please share them with us inside our Jasper 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 excellent for ideation. You can prompt chat to generate a list of innovative content ideas for your topic.
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:
- With your Chat content as your base for the blog/article, copy and paste the content into a document.
- Use the outline you've created in Jasper Chat or use the Blog Post app. Use this outline as H2's for your blog post or article.
- Enter your fact under your H2 for your blog post paragraph, click on the arrow at the end of the sentence to tell Jasper to continue writing, and build out your article's body.
- Continue writing with in-line prompting, apps, or the continue writing arrow 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.
- There are many prompts 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.
- Wrap it up with the prompt, "write a blog post conclusion paragraph about XYZ."
