# Generate an announcement with AI

> Draft a partner announcement in seconds from a URL or prompt using an AI preset, then refine and send it.

> For partner marketing keeping the portal active without writing every update from scratch.

When you already have the source material, a webinar, a product update, a blog post, AI can turn it into a partner-ready announcement in seconds. You give it a starting point, it drafts the message, and you refine the wording before sending. This keeps partners updated without doubling your writing.

## What you'll achieve

A drafted announcement generated by AI from your source, ready for you to refine, target, and publish, so a piece of content you already produced reaches partners in the portal with minimal extra writing.

## Steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Start with AI">
    Go to [Announcements](https://app.introw.io/announcements), create a new announcement, and choose to start with AI rather than from scratch.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick a preset and give it a source">
    Choose the preset that matches your update so the draft uses the right tone and structure:

    * **Webinar** - announce an upcoming or recorded webinar.
    * **Product update** - announce a release or new capability.
    * **Blog post** - turn a published post into a partner update.

    Then provide the source, a URL to the page or a short prompt describing the update, and let AI generate the draft.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Refine the draft">
    Review the generated announcement and edit it to your voice: tighten the title, adjust the body, and make sure the action you want partners to take is clear. AI gives you a strong starting point, not the final word.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Target, choose channels, and publish">
    Continue with the rest of the send: set the author and replies, target the right segments, pick channels, and publish. See [Send an announcement](./send-an-announcement) for each of those steps.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Verify it worked

AI produces an announcement draft from your source that you can edit, and once you target and publish it, it reaches partners exactly like one written from scratch.
