Improving Content Efficiency with the XCelerator Widget

Creating high-quality content requires time, effort, and attention to detail. Tasks like tagging, generating metadata, and ensuring accessibility can often be repetitive and time-consuming, which can slow down content teams and introduce errors. XCelerator is an AI-powered widget for XperienCentral designed to help address these challenges. 

The Challenges Content Teams Face 

Content teams are responsible for a wide range of tasks that extend beyond just creating content. Writing, editing, categorizing, and search engine optimization—these teams juggle multiple responsibilities to ensure content meets its goals. With the growing volume of content and increasing expectations, it’s easy for content teams to become overwhelmed by the repetitive nature of many of these tasks. 

One of the key challenges is managing metadata. As content libraries grow, the need for accurate tagging and categorization becomes even more crucial. Manually tagging every piece of content can be time-consuming, and inconsistent tagging can hinder both searchability and SEO performance. Additionally, inconsistent tagging can disrupt content recommendations, such as those powered by a Customer Data Platform (CDP), reducing their effectiveness and relevance. 

Ensuring accessibility is another task that demands attention. Making content accessible means providing alt-text for images, structuring text for readability, and complying with various accessibility guidelines. However, this takes time and requires constant vigilance to ensure compliance.
