Using Custom Umbraco AI Tools to Write a Whole Article Automatically
In this video I show you how I can type a single prompt and have Umbraco AI go off, create a fully structured article, populate it with content blocks, add images, and publish it to my site.
I've been doing a lot with Umbraco AI lately. And I'm really excited about the power the custom tools gives you.
Today I have recorded a demo video to show you the sorts of things I've been getting it to do.
I want to be upfront about something, what you’re seeing in this video is only possible because of the custom tools I’ve written to work with Umbraco AI. Without those, none of this happens.
In this video I show you how I can type a single prompt and have Umbraco AI go off, create a fully structured article, populate it with content blocks, add images, and publish it to my site. All in about 20–30 seconds. I find that genuinely exciting and I think you will too.
Here’s what I walk through:
Prompting Umbraco AI to write and publish a complete blog article from scratch
Watching it pick and fill content blocks automatically; text, code, tables, quotes, images
Asking it to split content and insert a new block mid-article
Getting it to add an image block at the end based on a description
Seeing the finished article live on the front end
This is the kind of thing that could be a real game changer for your editors, especially if you’re on Umbraco 17.
Even if you just want a solid starting point for an article rather than a blank page, this sort of tooling makes that really easy.
