Question 2

Who is Machined for?

Accepted Answer

Machined is useful for anyone who wants to create content that builds authority and drives organic traffic to their site. Whether you're a freelancer, startup, business or agency - we've got a plan for you. Freelancers and solopreneurs  use Machined to create high-quality content without hiring writers, saving time and money while building their online presence. Startups  use Machined to quickly establish topical authority in their niche and compete with larger competitors through strategic content. Businesses  use Machined to scale their content marketing efforts, reaching more keywords and topics without expanding their content team. Agencies  use Machined to deliver content at scale for multiple clients, improving margins while maintaining quality and consistency.

Question 3

What are content clusters?

Accepted Answer

Content clusters are groups of interlinked articles centered around a main topic (pillar content). The pillar page covers the topic broadly, while supporting articles dive deep into specific subtopics. All articles link to each other strategically to build topical authority and improve SEO. Machined automates the entire cluster creation process, from keyword research to internal linking to publishing. See details on how Content Clusters work

Question 4

How does Machined avoid keyword cannibalization?

Accepted Answer

Our AI automatically analyzes keyword intent and clusters similar terms together, ensuring each article targets a unique keyword without competing against your other pages. For example, "project management software" and "project management tool" have the same search intent, so they'd be grouped into one article rather than creating two competing pages.

Question 5

How does automated internal linking work?

Accepted Answer

Machined's AI analyzes all articles in your cluster and automatically adds contextual internal links with keyword-optimized anchor text. This happens in seconds, compared to hours of manual work. The AI understands semantic relationships between articles and only creates links where they make sense for readers and SEO, no forced or awkward placements.

Question 6

What is bring-your-own-key?

Accepted Answer

Bring-your-own-key  is a term that represents the operating model where the user brings their own API keys, effectively paying for their own API usage. By doing this, we avoid the overhead of centrally managing AI token usage which keeps our operating costs low, meanwhile you benefit from unrestricted access, your own limits and extremely cost-effective usage. In practice, you pay us for using our software and you pay OpenAI for any AI usage you incur. It works out very affordable when compared to plans where the AI usage is included in the plan price, allowing you to scale without being overcharged. You will need to have an   OpenAI Platform (API) account with credits . Settings up an OpenAI account and getting hold of an API key is super simple, and we will guide your through the entire process. You should also ensure that your  rate limits  are sufficient to use Machined, we recommend at least  Tier 2 rate limits  as described by OpenAI in their documentation. You can check your rate limits for your OpenAI account at  https://platform.openai.com/account/rate-limits . All the details are in our  documentation .

Question 7

Is the Unlimited plan really unlimited?

Accepted Answer

Here's the deal, we offer our Unlimited plan for personal use by individuals. If you run a blog or even a few blogs, you likely never face any restrictions. Write, rewrite, try different settings, go all out. Fair usage policy In order to guarantee availability and reliability for all users and protect our service from abuse, we operate a fair usage policy that might impose some rate-limits on accounts who are obviously running a business-scale workload or generating mass spam. See our  terms and conditions  for more details. Businesses and agencies If you're a business or an agency who needs to run at scale, we have plans just for you - please reach out to the team.

Question 8

How much does it cost to generate articles?

Accepted Answer

The cost of an article depends on the model used, the length of the article and the features that are enabled so it isn't possible to provide or predict an exact cost before an article is generated. Looking at the thousands of article written by our users, the average costs are: Approximately  $0.01-$0.10  per article when using  GPT-4o mini Approximately  $0.10-$0.40  per article when using  GPT-4o The costs will be higher if you utilise Research, Humanizer or AI images. Remember this is the cost you pay directly to OpenAI.

Question 9

How many languages do you support?

Question 11

Does your content pass AI Detection?

Accepted Answer

While we constantly work on improving the quality of our content and making it seem more human-like, we're not focused on fooling AI detectors, for a few very important reasons. There is no authoritative AI Detector There are myriad AI Detection tools on the market, using a variety of open and proprietary algorithms to try to determine whether text is AI generated. Each tool will give you a different result, and you will be met with both false positives as well as false negatives along the way. So which tool do you decide to trust? You can never really trust the results AI detection algorithms change almost daily. What comes back as having fooled a specific detector one day, will come back as being detected the next. You will soon find yourself in a cat and mouse chase that you can never effectively win. You can never win the AI Detector arms race Whatever tool you decide to trust, it is almost a guarantee that Google/Bing have their own, which will be multiple levels of magnitude more powerful than yours. We will always be behind the big tech firms in this regard - and all you gain from using AI detection as a consumer is false confidence. AI content is not penalised by default The main search engines, like Google and Bing have already clarified that they do not penalise content for the sole reason of being AI generated. As long as your content is high-quality, serves a purpose and brings value to your readers, where it originates is of a much lesser consequence. -  Google on AI content -  Our founder's view on this topic Our approach The approach we recommend is to focus on creating high-quality, valuable content that serves your readers - this is exactly the role of high-quality interlinked content clusters. If you want your content to excel even further, focus on adding additional value on top of your AI generated content. Can you add a personalised viewpoint? How about custom images? An expert opinion maybe? These additions will boost the credibility of your content, however it is generated…

Question 12

Do you offer a free trial?

Accepted Answer

No, we can do better than that! We offer a  Free Plan  that let's you create up to 10 articles,  every single month . The free plan includes our fully unrestricted AI Content Writer with choice of AI model, and multiple writing styles. This gives you a much better chance to see our content in as much detail as you want before committing to a paid plan. You can rewrite articles as many times as you like to see how all the features work. Hell, you can even publish them all and see how well our content ranks :) Please note that some other features are restricted in the free plan; you won't be able to create manual clusters or publish directly to your website - you will need to upgrade for those. Don't forget, even though our plan is free, you need to cover your own token usage costs.

Question 13

What is the cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

You can  cancel your subscription at any time  and you will no longer be charged. After canceling, you will have full access to your account and be able to generate content until the end of your billing cycle.
