The Writing assistant: a rewrite from one sentence

How to ask for a rewrite, what the diff means, when it beats regeneration, and what it cannot do.

Short answer

The Writing assistant is an AI conversation attached to a piece of content: you describe in one sentence what should be different — "make the opening shorter", "less jargon", "put in a concrete example" — and it produces a suggestion. You see the suggestion as a difference, so you know exactly what it would change, and it only enters the text if you accept it; one click undoes it again. It is available from the Starter plan and costs less than regenerating the whole article.

How to use it

  1. Open the piece and start the assistant

    You find it in the content view. The conversation belongs to that piece — it is not a general chat.

  2. Say in one sentence what should change

    The more specific the better: "the third paragraph is too general, put a concrete number in it" beats "make it better".

  3. Look at the difference

    The suggestion appears as a diff: you see what would be removed and what would replace it. Nothing changes until you accept.

  4. Accept or discard

    An accepted change enters the text and is recorded as a version — so it can be restored later too.

What kinds of request work?

A good requestWhy it works
"Cut the opening in half."Specific, measurable, about one place.
"Drop the jargon and explain it instead."A clear stylistic direction.
"Put a concrete next step at the end."A precisely named gap.
"Use the informal form throughout."An unambiguous rule applicable to the whole text.
"Make this paragraph say the point in its first sentence."A structural instruction, not a matter of taste.

Why it beats regenerating

Because a targeted rewrite is one text operation (1 credit), while regenerating the whole article costs the full article — and possibly its image too, so 1 + 5 credits. On top of that, regeneration throws away the parts that were already good, so it often produces a worse result than precisely fixing the text you have.

Can an accepted suggestion be undone?

Yes, with one click, and the earlier state can also be restored from the versions.

Does the Writing assistant see my source material?

It sees the piece's context — the brief, the brand voice and the material used for the article. That is how it can suggest something that fits your brand rather than generic copy-editing.

Is it available on the Free plan?

No, the Writing assistant starts at Starter. Manual editing is available on every plan.
