How to Create an AI Content Engine That Speaks Like Your Bran

4 min read

What if you could build an AI content engine that could write exactly like your brand?

At StoryChief, we help marketers scale content without losing control. But as we worked with more teams, one thing became clear: AI is only as good as the instructions you give it—and those instructions are often inconsistent, siloed, or incomplete.

So we built a solution: an AI content engine that crawls your public site, understands your brand, audience, competitors, and goals—then generates on-brand, optimized content automatically.

And it’s all built into StoryChief.

This post walks you through:

What Is an AI Content Engine?

Think of it as your brand brain for AI.

An AI content engine helps AI understand your brand—so the content it creates feels like you wrote it. It’s a smart system that:

  • Scans your public website to learn how you talk and what you talk about
  • Understands your audience, competitors, and content goals
  • Applies your tone of voice, preferred links, and compliance rules
  • Uses that information to help you generate blogs, emails, social posts, SEO pages, and more

How It Works (Step by Step)

1. We Scan Your Website

When you add your domain, StoryChief analyzes:

  • Blog articles, landing pages, and feature pages
  • Headings, CTAs, and recurring words or patterns
  • Messaging and formatting choices

This gives the AI content engine a full picture of your brand’s voice and structure.

2. You Customize

Inside the Company Intelligence page, you can set:

  • Your core content topics (a.k.a. content pillars)
  • The type of audience you target
  • Your tone and style preferences (e.g. conversational, witty, formal)
  • Internal link rules (e.g. always link "book a call" to your demo page)
  • Any custom instructions you need, for example:
    • Auto-insert links (like "book a call" linking to your demo)
    • Keep tone and style on-brand—even across teams
    • Add disclaimers or compliance text where needed
    • Personalize content for multiple personas or regions

Don’t worry—it’s super intuitive and you can update it anytime.

3. Your AI Writes Like Your Team Would

Now, whenever you use AI in StoryChief, it automatically:

  • Reflects your brand voice
  • Covers your preferred content topics
  • Adds internal links and CTAs correctly
  • Structures content the way your audience expects

Whether you’re creating a blog, social caption, newsletter, or landing page—it all feels like it came from your team.
