FAQ<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Will the AI content be unique?<\/p>\n

Yes \u2014 the prompt explicitly tells the AI to use the RSS article as inspiration only, not to copy. Every post is uniquely generated with proper SEO structure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

What if there are no new articles?<\/p>\n

The workflow gracefully stops \u2014 no errors, no duplicates. It simply waits for the next scheduled run.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Can I use a different AI model?<\/p>\n

Absolutely. OpenRouter gives you access to dozens of models. Just update the model setting in the credential configuration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
