AI writing is changing the way content creation is done. But at the same time, choosing the right CMS to host AI-generated content is also a serious consideration.Some CMS have a deep integration with AI writing (from creation to publication), while some are superficial (just wrapping an AI API in the editor).This article compares the mainstream AI writing CMS on the market from the perspective of content creators.
The four levels of AI writing CMS
Before comparing specific products, it is first necessary to clarify the different integration levels of AI writing CMS:
| Level | Description | Represents product |
|---|---|---|
| L1 Basic Integration | Call AI API within the editor, manually publish after generation | WordPress + OpenAI plugin |
| L2 Deep Integration | AI generation + automatic SEO + one-click publishing | AnQiCMS |
| L3 Intelligent Operation | AI Automatic Batch Generation + Automatic Publishing + Scheduled Tasks | AnQiCMS + Batch Scripts |
| L4 Fully Automatic | AI automatic selection + generation + publication + data analysis | There is no mature product at present |
The depth of AI integration in CMS not only affects the user experience, but also directly affects the efficiency of content production.
