AI Commands are quick, targeted actions you can take directly in the editor — without switching to the chat. Select some text, trigger the AI, and get an instant rewrite, expansion, or edit. It's the fastest way to refine your content while staying in the writing flow.
How to use AI Commands
Select text in the editor — a word, a sentence, a paragraph, or multiple paragraphs
Press Cmd+J (Mac) or Ctrl+J (Windows), or click the AI button (wand icon) in the floating toolbar that appears
Type what you want the AI to do
The AI processes your request and updates the content
You can also trigger AI Commands without selecting text — just place your cursor where you want new content generated and press Cmd+J.
What AI Commands can do
The AI automatically determines the best approach based on your request:
Generate
Creates new content from scratch. Use this when you want the AI to write something at your cursor position.
Examples:
"Write an opening hook about the cost of inconsistency"
"Add a paragraph about the program's guarantee"
"Create a bullet list of benefits"
"Write a PS that creates urgency"
Edit
Modifies your selected text. Use this when you have a draft but want it improved, shortened, rewritten, or adjusted.
Examples:
"Make this shorter and punchier"
"Rewrite in a more conversational tone"
"Fix the grammar"
"Simplify this — it's too complex"
"Make this sound more confident"
"Translate to Spanish"
Comment
Adds AI-generated inline feedback to your content. Use this when you want a critique or suggestions without changing the actual text.
Examples:
"Review this section and leave feedback"
"What could be improved here?"
"Is this clear enough?"
The AI will add inline comments to specific parts of your text with its observations and suggestions.
AI Commands vs. AI Chat
Both features use the same underlying AI with the same context, but they serve different purposes:
AI Commands |
AI Chat |
|
|---|---|---|
Best for |
Quick, focused edits to specific text |
Open-ended conversations, brainstorming, full drafts |
How it works |
Select text → give instruction → get result |
Type a message → get a response → iterate |
Output |
Directly modifies or inserts into the editor |
Appears in the chat panel (you copy/paste what you want) |
Speed |
Fast — one request, one result |
Conversational — back and forth |
A typical workflow might use both: draft with AI Chat, then refine with AI Commands.
Tips for effective AI Commands
Be specific about what you want changed. "Improve this" is vague. "Make this paragraph shorter, more direct, and end with a question instead of a statement" gives the AI a clear target.
Work in small selections. AI Commands work best on focused sections — a paragraph or two at a time. Selecting your entire email and asking for a rewrite will produce less precise results than working through it section by section.
Use it for tone shifts. One of the most powerful uses is adjusting tone: "Make this warmer," "Add more urgency," "Tone down the sales language." The AI handles these nuanced shifts well because it knows your brand personality.
Don't forget the Comment option. Before rewriting something you're unsure about, ask the AI to comment on it first. The feedback often reveals what specifically needs to change, which leads to a better edit.
