Rewrite a passage with AI

Select any text, ask for a rewrite, and read it in place before deciding.

  1. Select the passage you want changed — a phrase, a paragraph, or several blocks at once.
  2. Open the assistant's menu in the toolbar that appears over the selection, and pick what you want done to it.
  3. The passage lights up in the colour of whichever assistant is answering, so you can see what is being worked on while it works.
  4. The answer arrives in the note: your wording struck through, the wording on offer underlined right after it.
  5. Accept writes it into the note. Decline leaves the note untouched.

Nothing is written to the file until you accept.

What you can ask for

Ask What comes back
Rewrite the same facts, read better
Shorten padding cut, content kept
Expand the detail it is missing, from what the surrounding notes establish
Fix grammar spelling and punctuation, nothing else touched
Simplify plainer language, same meaning
Turn into a list one point per bullet
Turn into a table columns chosen to fit the material
Extract action items a task list of what the passage calls for

Undecided suggestions survive

A suggestion you neither accept nor decline is kept. Switch notes, close the app, come back tomorrow — it is still there, attached to the passage it belongs to.

This is deliberate. A rewrite you have not read yet is not a reason to be hurried, and an app that throws the suggestion away the moment you look at something else trains you to decide before you have thought.

The one thing that does clear an offer is editing the passage yourself. The offer describes words that no longer exist, and applying it on top of what you have just written would be the wrong change — ask again and it works from the new wording.

It edits the note, not a copy

The rewrite lands in the Markdown file, and the write goes into history like any other. If you accept something and change your mind, the previous version is there.

Longer changes

For work that spans more than a passage — restructuring a note, writing a new section, producing a document — use the chat and choose where the answer lands.
