Build hierarchical article outlines with H2/H3 heading structure, talking points, and word count targets.
Give this tool a topic and a target length and it returns the skeleton of an article: H2 sections, H3 subsections, bullet talking points, and a word count for each block. The outline is meant to be drafted from, not read as prose. The surprise is that the section counts are drafting targets, and only a plan is produced, never finished text. The most common misuse is feeding it a finished draft or expecting written paragraphs back. It produces structure, and the structure is only as specific as the topic and audience you give it.

Input
Topic: How to start a vegetable garden Target: 1,500 words Audience: first-time gardeners
Expected output
H2 Introduction - 150 words Hook: fresh food, cost, control over what you grow H2 Why the location decides everything - 250 words H3 Sun, soil, and water access H3 Common first-garden mistakes H2 Choosing what to plant - 400 words H3 Crops that reward beginners (leafy greens, radishes, tomatoes) H3 Reading seed packets H3 Timing by frost date H2 Preparing the bed - 300 words H3 Raised beds vs. in-ground H3 Soil amendments and compost H2 Planting and early care - 250 words H3 Watering depth and frequency H3 Thinning and weeding H2 Conclusion - 150 words Recap and a call to start small
The six section targets sum exactly to the 1,500-word goal, and each H2 carries H3 subtopics with one-line talking points. That heading tree, with its reconciled budget, is the deliverable.
The tool treats your topic as the article's thesis and splits it into H2 sections, each covering one part of the argument. Where a section needs several distinct subtopics, it nests H3 headings under it, with a short talking point under each heading. The heading levels mirror the H2/H3 structure you would later use in the published page.
Your overall target is divided across the outline so every section receives its own count and the section counts sum to the total. Introductions and conclusions get smaller shares than the middle sections, which carry the substance. The counts function as drafting targets: writing to them is what keeps the finished piece close to the length you asked for.
No. It stops at structure: headings, talking points, and word targets. You supply the prose. What it does save is the blank-page problem, since you start each section knowing its scope and its budget instead of facing a blinking cursor. If you need draft sentences generated too, a writing or drafting tool is the better fit.
Yes, at generation they do: the budget is divided across sections, not invented per section. As you draft, treat them as targets to adjust rather than limits. A section that stays far under budget may signal the topic is thin, and one that overruns may signal scope creep into a different article.
