The AI editing tools revise just the text you select. Each one targets one thing (clarity, pacing, detail, voice or dialogue), and none of them changes your writing until you accept the result.
Before you start
AI tools are part of the Professional plan (including the free trial). On other plans the buttons are greyed out and an Upgrade for AI Tools button appears.
They use your own AI provider key, and the model you last chose in the / menu. See Managing AI API Keys (BYOK).
How to use them
Select some text: a sentence, a paragraph or several paragraphs. The tools need a selection to run.
A bar of tools appears next to your selection. Click one: Clarity, Tighten, Lengthen, Show, Active or Dialogue.
Your original text is struck through, and the AI's revision appears right after it, styled so you can compare the two.
Use the AI draft ready bar: Reject to keep your original, Redo to try again with the same tool, or Accept to replace your original with the revision.
If the AI doesn't return a revision, the strike-through comes off your text, which stays as it was, and a message tells you why, for example The AI returned no rewrite, so your text is unchanged. Try again, or pick a different edit.
The tools
Clarity
Makes the passage easier to read and less ambiguous, without changing its meaning. Use it when sentences feel dense or an idea isn't landing.
Tighten
Cuts unnecessary words, repetition and filler. Use it when a passage feels bloated or the pacing drags.
Lengthen
Adds detail, texture or explanation while staying on topic. Use it when a moment feels rushed.
Show
Moves from telling to showing, with sensory detail and concrete action. Use it when you're summarising emotions or events.
Active
Rewrites toward the active voice and more direct sentences. Use it when the writing feels passive or distant.
Dialogue
Polishes dialogue for flow, voice and natural rhythm without changing what's said. Use it when dialogue sounds stiff.
Tips
Keep selections focused, one idea or moment at a time.
Start with Clarity, then use style tools like Show or Dialogue.
Treat each revision as a suggestion. You can reject anything.
These tools refine your writing; they don't rewrite whole chapters or replace your judgement.
