AI search content briefs
Give the writer one brief with the question, the exact page anchor, the proposed edit, and the evidence behind it. Foglift turns a live page, recommendation, Query Fanout, or whole-site finding into a focused implementation handoff.
Three entry paths
Bring a live URL, a planned topic, or a recommendation. The brief uses the evidence available for that starting point and carries the reason the work entered the queue.
Public URL brief
Enter a public HTTP or HTTPS URL. The generator fetches the page, calculates its current Page AI Readiness, and builds a brief from the page structure and deterministic findings.
The public route allows 10 requests per IP address in a rolling hour. An anonymous run does not use private workspace prompts or stored answer evidence.
Workspace page brief
A signed-in brief selects up to five stored workspace prompts by language overlap with the page headings and description, then attaches the latest per-engine brand-mention status.
The status is a brand mention, not proof that the target page was cited. Provider-returned citation URLs remain a separate field.
Workspace topic brief
A recommendation, Query Fanout, or whole-site audit can pass a topic and optional target path into the same workflow before a page exists. The exact source topic stays attached to the output.
A topic brief has no fetched-page score. Foglift removes the synthetic score projection instead of presenting planned work as a measured page result.
Brief anatomy
Separate the question to answer, the edit to make, the diagnosed gap, and the context an editor can use. Six focused outputs keep research, structure, and implementation from collapsing into a vague writing prompt.
Recommendation handoff
Give the writer current instructions while preserving why the target matters. The brief evaluates the page or topic again, then turns the recommendation into an actionable handoff.
01
Content-gap, citation-gap, visibility-boost, and competitor-counter actions can expose a Create brief handoff with a target page or topic.
02
Existing pages are fetched and measured. New topics use the workspace domain, a clean target path when supplied, and the recommendation source that produced the idea.
03
The generator applies current page findings, stored prompts, latest answer evidence, and eligible knowledge guidance. It does not copy the recommendation prose into the brief as fact.
04
Review the prompts, actions, gaps, structure, and phrases in the workspace, then download the complete output as Markdown for an editor or development agent.
Evidence contract
See which fields come from the live page, stored answers, language matching, or fixed prioritization rules. Clear labels help the editor use each signal for the decision it can support.
| Signal | Source | What it supports | Boundary |
|---|---|---|---|
| Page snapshot | Fetched HTML at generation time | Current structure and Page AI Readiness for that response | A later page edit requires a new brief |
| Prompt relevance | Language overlap with headings and description | Up to five stored prompts closest to the page wording | Relevance ranking is not search demand |
| Engine status | Latest stored answer per prompt and engine | Whether the brand was mentioned, plus stored position when present | A mention is not a page citation |
| Competitor evidence | Stored competitor mentions for the top prompt | The highest-count competitor present in that answer evidence | Missing data stays empty; it is not inferred |
| Estimated lift points | Fixed values assigned to action types | A prioritization aid inside the brief | Not a traffic, rank, score, or citation forecast |
Plans and evidence
Generate a public brief from one URL with no signup. A signed-in workspace can add monitored prompts, answer evidence, recommendations, and saved knowledge as those signals become available.
| Plan | Monthly | Brief access | Evidence available |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | Public URL generator with no signup; signed-in page, topic, and recommendation handoffs where enabled | Weekly Perplexity monitoring while active can supply workspace answer evidence |
| Launch | $49/mo | The same brief contract with Markdown export and broader workspace evidence | Five-engine monitoring up to daily, plus API, CLI, and MCP access |
| Growth | $129/mo | The same brief contract with larger workspace and knowledge allowances | Five-engine monitoring up to twice daily and Buyer-intent Win Rate |
| Enterprise | Custom | The same brief contract with custom workspace capacity | Five-engine monitoring up to hourly and custom limits |
Primary guidance
A brief can identify missing structure and evidence. The finished page still has to help the reader, match its visible markup, and meet the ordinary eligibility requirements of the search systems that may retrieve it.
States that the same foundational SEO practices apply to AI features and that pages must be indexed and eligible to appear with a supporting link.
Defines structured data as explicit page meaning and requires markup to describe the visible page rather than hidden or unrelated claims.
Provides the self-assessment questions for original information, substantial coverage, sourcing, authorship, and first-hand expertise.

Questions
A Foglift content brief contains target prompts, page-specific actions, content gaps, structure recommendations, repeated two-word phrases, and evidence notes. A workspace brief can also show per-engine brand-mention status and the stored competitor evidence for the prompt most closely related to the page.
No. Foglift content briefs are template-based and make no runtime language-model call. The generator applies deterministic rules to the fetched page, its Page AI Readiness findings, stored workspace prompts, current answer evidence, and any eligible Knowledge Base guidance.
Content-gap, citation-gap, visibility-boost, and competitor-counter recommendations can pass their target page or topic into the brief workflow. Foglift then rebuilds the brief from the target and current workspace evidence. The recommendation supplies the job to investigate; it does not become an unsupported instruction inside the brief.
Yes, when the signed-in workflow receives a topic from Query Fanouts or a whole-site audit. Foglift creates a planned URL from the workspace domain and optional target path, keeps the source topic visible, and omits the synthetic page-score projection because no live page was fetched.
Yes. The public URL generator is free and requires no signup. It accepts one public HTTP or HTTPS page and allows up to 10 requests per IP address in a rolling hour. Workspace-aware briefs require a signed-in Foglift workspace.
No. The per-engine status records whether the brand was mentioned in the latest stored answer for that prompt. A provider-returned citation URL is separate evidence. Foglift keeps brand mentions, citations, crawler requests, and referrals as different measurements.
Yes. Generated and saved workspace briefs can be downloaded as Markdown. The export preserves the summary, target prompts, actions, content gaps, structure recommendations, repeated phrases, and evidence notes that are present in the brief.
