Build a beginner's guide that defines the topic, removes assumed knowledge, sequences first steps, and gives new readers a practical path forward. The active guide targets 2,200 words, asks the model for 12 structural elements and then checks the draft for them, binds sources after generation, and keeps review before export.

What is an AI Beginner's Guide Generator?
An AI beginner's guide generator explains an unfamiliar subject from first principles. It defines essential terms, establishes a learning sequence, uses accessible examples, and helps a new reader complete an achievable first task.
What to provide: Provide the topic, what the reader already knows, the first outcome they need, terms that require definition, and mistakes that commonly discourage beginners.
Beginner's Guide is one of the 48 direct-create formats generated from this same screen — a shared workspace, not a separate tool per format.
What is instructed, what is enforced, and what you check
The Beginner's Guide style guide below is read from the Gixo source at request time. Most of it is written
into the generation prompt to steer the draft. A smaller part is enforced by code after the model answers.
The editorial judgments stay with you — so they are listed separately rather than folded into one promise.
1 · Written into the prompt — steers the draft
These are instructions, not checks. They shape what the model is asked to produce; nothing afterwards
verifies that the tone landed or that the draft suits the audience. That is what step 3 is for.

2 · Enforced by code, after the draft comes back
Too short is regenerated. A draft under the floor for this format is sent back for another pass, not padded.
Too long is trimmed. Length is a hard constraint for this format, so an over-long draft is cut back toward the target.
Brand compliance. The draft is passed through your brand rules and you get a report of what changed.
Structure sanitising. Malformed or unsafe markup is cleaned before the draft reaches the editor.
3 · Checked, then handed to you
The workspace runs a checklist over the finished draft and shows you the result. It reports; it does not
gate. Publishing remains your decision.
Required elements — each is marked detected or not detected in the headings and body text. This is a presence test on wording, not a judgment that the section is any good.
Word-count target — flagged for review outside roughly 1,430-3,850 words, rather than forced to a number.
Quality checklist — the items this format carries are always marked for manual review, because no machine check stands behind them.
How a Gixo Beginner's Guide is built
Every generation passes through a deterministic 7-stage pipeline.
The publishing pipeline
Plan — Token allocation, section count, structural completeness target. GenerationPlanner.cs
Render — APA / MLA / Chicago / Harvard inline citations injected at export. CitationHtmlRenderer.cs
Publish — Send approved work to connected WordPress and Ghost sites, hand a draft to Medium, or export it for other destinations. Export in PDF, DOCX, HTML, Markdown, TXT, and JSON.
