# Using Quick mode (keywords only)

Quick mode skips outline and draft generation to give you just the NLP-extracted keywords, entities, and competitor data.

## Steps

1. Navigate to your client > **Create** > **+ New project**.
2. Enter your topic.
3. Toggle on **Quick mode — Keywords only**.
4. Select a content type.
5. Click **Research keywords** (replaces the standard Continue button).
6. Research runs 4 steps (skips “Building content brief”).

## Results

* **Entities & Topics** – Keyword and entity tags. Green = high-priority. Click X to remove. Use **Copy all** button.
* **Competitors analyzed** – Ranked table with Rank, Source, Coverage %, Platforms, and Words columns.

Click **Complete**. The project is saved with a sparkle icon and “Complete” badge. No draft or score is generated.

## Tips and best practices

* Ideal for creating briefs for human writers.
* Use the **Copy all** button to quickly export entities.
* The Competitor table shows which platforms surfaced each page.

## Troubleshooting

* **Research stuck at “Finalizing”** – Click **Check status**.
* **No entities returned** – Try a more specific topic.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.rankability.com/copywriter/using-quick-mode.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
