Content Genius V3 is your all-in-one workspace for AI-assisted SEO content—from brief creation and topical mapping to on-page audits and CMS publishing. Every tool, quota, and V3 feature is covered below; items unique to V3 are labeled [V3].
🔍 Content Genius Overview
Content Genius is an AI-powered SEO content editor that integrates keyword research, SERP analysis, and NLP suggestions so you can write and publish SEO-optimized articles with one click—designed for SEOs, content writers, and bloggers.
🧰 Content Genius Tools
- SEO Content Assistant — live editor with content scoring and NLP term suggestions
- Content Planner — keyword and topic clustering
- Topical Map — cluster ideation, diagram/table view, and direct article generation
- WordPress Sync — publish and sync content via plugin
- PR Generator — AI-generated press releases
- On-Page Audit — content quality, technical, and UX analysis
✨ What's New in Content Genius V3
- Domain Knowledge Network (DKN) integration from OTTO v3: each page surfaces 4–5 target keywords; the first 3 flow directly into Content Genius for article creation.
- Vibe Coding for DKN: adjust titles, page types, sections, or categories using natural-language edits, then generate articles in Content Genius.
- Infographic Diagram Microagent: convert any article into an entity/relationship diagram instantly.
- "Add Hero" button: select an AI-generated or stock hero image for every article. Generated images are watermark-free; hero images with embedded text are treated as a ranking signal (per internal research on searchatlas.com blog posts), so the editor prioritizes text-bearing hero variants in its ranking suggestions.
- Alphabetical Content Folders: the folder list sorts A–Z for faster navigation in large libraries.
- Universal CMS Connectors (username/password or API key; no plugin required) and Universal CMS Plugins (Drupal, HubSpot, Wix, Magento) let you publish directly from Content Genius.
- Bulk Generation Confirmation Window: review and confirm bulk article jobs before generation begins, preventing accidental quota consumption.
- Conversational / Agentic Editing: iterate on drafts through natural-language chat prompts directly in the editor, powered by the cgenius-daemon backend (Phases 1 + 2). A dedicated agentic-mode guide will be linked here once the UI/UX layer ships and is documented.

💳 AI Quota Allocation & Top-Ups
🔁 How Quota Is Allocated
Your AI quota (Articles, Target Keywords, Regular AI units, and Premium AI units) is allocated at the start of each billing cycle and refreshes monthly. Unused subscription quota does not roll over.
🆚 Subscription Quota vs. Top-Up Credits
Subscription quota is included in your plan and resets every billing cycle. Top-up credits are purchased separately, stack on top of your subscription quota, and remain on your account until consumed — they do not reset each cycle.
⏳ If a Top-Up Doesn't Appear Immediately
Top-up purchases can be delayed by cache or sync lag. If any workflow shows Quota Exhausted right after a purchase:
- Do a hard refresh (Ctrl / Cmd + Shift + R) on the Content Genius tab.
- Wait a few minutes for the top-up to propagate.
- Re-open the workflow and confirm your quota has updated.
🆘 Quota Still Not Reflected After 15 Minutes
Contact support with your purchase confirmation (order ID or receipt). The team can manually reconcile credits and reset the quota counter on your account.
