AI changes you approve

Every AI change to your prose follows one rule: the AI never silently overwrites your work. A change arrives as a card beside the page, and nothing lands until you apply it.

Asking for a change

The writing assistant lives beside the page. On a wide screen it is the ✦ Assistant tab of the panel that lists your chapters; on narrower screens, ✦ Ask on the toolbar; on a phone, Ask on the bar along the bottom of the screen.

To work on one passage, select it and press ✦ Ask about this in the menu that appears beside the selection. The assistant opens with the passage quoted in the message box. Add what you want ("tighten this", "she should sound angrier") and press Send. Nothing is sent until you do.

The change cards

When the assistant suggests a change, the change is a card in the conversation:

• Apply puts it on the page.
• Discard drops it.
• Review the change, on a rewrite of your prose, shows it to you first.

The setting under the message box decides whether you see cards at all: Ask me first (the default) waits for you on every change; Just do it lets the assistant apply its changes as it goes, writing a restore point before each one.

Reviewing a change

Review the change opens the suggested text in the panel, in place of the conversation, with your chapter still on the page beside it.

• Edit shows the suggestion, and you can change it by hand before you take it.
• Diff shows a word-level comparison against your original: what was cut, and what was added.
• Replace passage ✓ takes what is on screen, hand edits included. Keep mine closes the review and leaves your text alone.

On a phone the review covers the screen, with a Mine · AI · Diff switch, since two columns side by side are unreadable at that width.

A change is checked before it lands. If the passage was edited after the assistant read it, you get a clear message instead of a blind splice into the wrong place.

Reverting

Applying a change snapshots the chapter first, so ↺ Revert on the toolbar puts it back in one click.

That button covers the most recent change. For anything older, use version history. Every applied change also writes a restore point.

What it costs

The message box shows what a turn usually costs before you send it, for example Ask first · ≈ 3 cr. A turn is about one credit, plus the writing it does for you; asking a question and reading the answer costs only the assistant's part. You are charged for the tokens the turn actually used, so it may cost a little more or less than the estimate. Your balance never goes below zero. See plans and credits.

To redraft the whole book rather than a passage, use auto-draft.
