Why use Scalenut in an AI workflow?
- Strategic planning : Unlike other AI tools focused solely on generation, Scalenut provides a macro-level view of content planning.

Scalenut is particularly effective when used alongside Airstory for Research and SurferSEO for Optimization, completing the strategic cycle from planning to publishing.

- Validate with Frase : Use Frase’s SERP analysis to compare and complement Scalenut’s keyword and topic suggestions.
- Use cruise mode for drafting, then optimize : Don’t publish raw drafts, run them through SurferSEO and GrammarlyGO.
