Expand, tighten, rephrase, and more.
Once you have a draft in the Editor, Ask AI and the writing transformations are the fastest ways to refine it. Transformations apply pre-built edits to selected text in one click. Ask AI lets you give your own custom instruction for anything the built-in transformations don't cover.
Applying a transformation
- Select the text you want to change — a sentence, a paragraph, or an entire section.
- A floating toolbar appears above your selection. Choose a transformation from the list.
- Review the result. Accept it to keep the change, or undo and try a different transformation if it's not quite right.
What each transformation does
| Transformation | Use it to... |
|---|---|
| Expand | Grow your text to reach a target word or character count |
| Reduce Word Count | Tighten your text down to a target length |
| Rephrase | Refresh the wording without changing the meaning |
| Improve Grammar | Clean up spelling, grammar, and sentence structure |
| Change Tense | Shift the whole selection to past, present, or future tense |
| Add Case Study | Bring in a relevant example from your library |
| Add Statistics | Strengthen a claim with supporting data |
| Incorporate | Weave in a win theme or specific point you provide |
| Summarize | Condense a longer passage into a short overview |
| Translate | Convert your selection into another language |
Using Ask AI
Ask AI is best for edits that don't fit a pre-built transformation — anything from a tone shift to a very specific instruction.
- Select the text you want to change.
- Choose Ask AI from the floating toolbar.
- Type a clear, specific instruction. For example:
- "Make this more concise"
- "Focus more on value for money"
- "Rewrite this for a technical evaluator audience"
- Review the result before accepting it.
Tip
The more specific your instruction, the better the result. "Make this better" gives the AI little to work with — "make this punchier and lead with the outcome" gives it a clear target.
Getting the best results
- Select only the text you want changed — a tighter selection gives a more precise result.
- If a transformation output feels too short, run Expand, or use Ask AI with a clearer instruction about length.
- Try a transformation first for common edits (grammar, tense, length) and save Ask AI for edits that need more nuance or context.
Troubleshooting
A transformation had no visible effect
Re-select the text and try again.
The result is too short
Use Expand, or re-run Ask AI with a specific instruction about the length you need.
