# AI Article - Pre-Match report

## AI Articles allow you to generate an article from a selection of templates for a specific event or all events from a selected date

AI articles allow users to generate an article from a selection of templates for a specific event or all events from a selected date. The generated content will be based on the available data for the match and the teams.

When you set **Publication Timing** to **Scheduled**, the content generation will occur at 00:15 AM local time on the day of the event. With **Immediate** (the default), the article is generated right away.   
**Example** (Scheduled):  
Premier League - 16/May/2025 - Chelsea vs Manchester United  
Article will be generated on - 16/May/2025 - 00:15 AM

 

To access and configure an AI article, follow the steps below.

1. In the left sidebar, under **AI TOOLS**, select **AI Articles**. The page opens on the **Generate Article** tab:![CMS 4.8.0 window with AI TOOLS \> AI Articles highlighted in the left sidebar and the AI Articles page open on the Generate Article tab: an empty form with Category, Template, Generate Strapline (optional), Generate Summary (optional), Generate Article based on, and the Schedule generation button.](https://knowledge-base.sportal365.com/hs-fs/hubfs/knowledge-base/cms-4.8.0/ai-articles/generate-article-empty-form.png?width=900&name=generate-article-empty-form.png)
2. Configure the AI Article by selecting a value for each of the following:
   
     1. **Category** - Mandatory field required to create the article.
     2. **Template** - Select from the available template options. Once a template is selected, the **Template Preview** panel on the right lists its blocks, so you can review its structure before generating:  
        ![Generate Article tab with Category set to Football and the Template list open (Match Preview Essential highlighted; H2H Breakdown, Tactical Preview, Momentum Report, Comprehensive Pre-Match, Default Template), next to the Template Preview panel listing the blocks of Match Preview Essential.](https://knowledge-base.sportal365.com/hs-fs/hubfs/knowledge-base/cms-4.8.0/ai-articles/generate-article-template-dropdown-open.png?width=900&name=generate-article-template-dropdown-open.png)
     3. **Generate Strapline** - Optional field. Use this if the Strapline is used on your website.
     4. **Generate Summary** - Optional field. Use this if you want the generated article to include a summary.
     5. **Generate Article based on:**  
            1. **Event** - Generate an AI article for a specific event. Search for and select a **Team**, then choose the match from the **List of upcoming events**.  
               ![Generate Article form in Event mode (Football, Match Preview Essential, Strapline No, Summary Yes) with Team = Chelsea and the List of upcoming events open, showing Chelsea fixtures such as Chelsea - Tottenham Hotspur (Premier League, 24.10.2026), Liverpool - Chelsea (EFL Cup, 28.10.2026) and Chelsea - Manchester United (Premier League, 31.10.2026); Template Preview panel on the right.](https://knowledge-base.sportal365.com/hs-fs/hubfs/knowledge-base/cms-4.8.0/ai-articles/generate-article-event-mode-upcoming-events.png?width=900&name=generate-article-event-mode-upcoming-events.png)
            2. **Date** - Select a date range with **Generation date from** and **Generation date to**, and apply a competition filter. **Generation date to** becomes available once you set the start date, and the **Competition filter** becomes available once the range covers today or a future date.  
               ![Generate Article form in Date mode (Football, Match Preview Essential, Strapline No, Summary Yes) with Generation date from 2026.10.24, 00:00 and Generation date to 2026.10.24, 23:59, an empty Competition filter (](https://knowledge-base.sportal365.com/hs-fs/hubfs/knowledge-base/cms-4.8.0/ai-articles/generate-article-date-mode-range.png?width=900&name=generate-article-date-mode-range.png)
               
               When generating by date, you can select all the competitions and events you want to include in the schedule. Click the **Competition filter** to choose the competitions, then select **Save changes**. The events in the range appear as tags grouped by date and competition. Each tag corresponds to an event and generates a separate article; click the **x** on a tag, or on a group, to leave it out.  
               ![Lower part of the Date-mode form: Competition filter, the note ](https://knowledge-base.sportal365.com/hs-fs/hubfs/knowledge-base/cms-4.8.0/ai-articles/generate-article-date-mode-events-selected.png?width=756&name=generate-article-date-mode-events-selected.png)
3. Once you have selected an event (or event tags), the **Publication Timing** section appears. Choose when the article should be generated. You have two options: 
     1. **Immediate** - Generates the article(s) right away, regardless of the event’s start time.
     2. **Scheduled** - Generates the article(s) at 00:15 on the day of the event.
    Then press **Schedule generation**.

1. You can monitor scheduled articles in the **Schedules** tab. Its **Scheduled Articles** table lists each scheduled generation in the columns Event, Template, Status, Created by, Scheduled (the generation time), Category and Actions, and you can find a schedule with **Search by event name...**.
2. Successfully generated articles appear in the **Created Articles** tab, ready for an editor to review before publishing by changing their status to "active". The **Active** column shows a green tick for active articles and a red cross for inactive ones:
