What is AI Chat?
AI Chat is your conversational writing assistant, available in the right sidebar of every workspace. Ask questions, get suggestions, and generate content through natural conversation.
Note
Uses AI credits - Each interaction consumes credits from your monthly allowance.
Using AI Chat
To open: Click the AI icon in the top-right corner → Sidebar opens with AI Chat tab
Simply type your question or request in the chat box at the bottom of the sidebar.
Example prompts:
- "Help me brainstorm plot ideas for a mystery novel"
- "Suggest a better opening sentence for this paragraph"
- "What are some good SEO keywords for a blog about gardening?"
- "Write a scene where two rivals meet at a masquerade ball"
Tip
Be specific about what you need. "Rewrite this paragraph to be more suspenseful and add sensory details" works better than "make this better."
