Create a useful listicle with explicit selection criteria, comparable entries, evidence, and a conclusion that helps readers act on the list. The active guide targets 2,500 words, asks the model for 17 structural elements and then checks the draft for them, keeps source review explicit, and keeps review before export.

Yes. The Listicle opens in the Quill workspace for editing and team review. You can add sources for review, render APA, MLA, Chicago, or Harvard citations, export in PDF, DOCX, HTML, Markdown, TXT, and JSON, or publish to a supported CMS destination.
An AI listicle generator creates a list-based article whose entries follow a consistent selection and evaluation method. Each item should contribute evidence, context, or a distinct recommendation instead of padding an arbitrary number.
What to provide: Provide the list topic, intended reader, inclusion and exclusion criteria, source material, ordering logic, and what readers should decide or do after reviewing the entries.
The brief it was written from: Write a numbered article of nine practical ways a household can reduce the food it throws away. Each item should say what to do, why it works and how to start. Include how to plan meals, store food, read date labels, use leftovers and handle scraps. Ground the advice in guidance published by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and FoodSafety.gov, and cite those agency pages. Cite no other organisation. Do not quote statistics, percentages or dollar amounts; give practical advice and attribute each piece of guidance to the agency page it comes from.
The Listicle 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.
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.

CRITICAL: Use exactly the item count the user requested. Put that number in the title and URL, optimize for featured snippets, use List schema.
The workspace runs a checklist over the finished draft and shows you the result. It reports; it does not gate. Publishing remains your decision.
Every generation runs the first four stages automatically. Source review, citation rendering and publishing are steps you take in the Quill workspace.
