AI commands & tone

One-click rewrites, fixes, and tone changes from the toolbar AI menu or by typing / in the AI chat.

The AI command menu

Click the AI button (the robot icon) in the editor toolbar to open a menu of ready-made actions. A heading at the top shows whether the action will run on your Selection or the whole Note. From here you can Suggest title, Suggest tags, or Suggest category; Clean up messy content; or Rewrite, Fix grammar & spelling, Expand, Shorten, turn text into Bullets, Translate, Summarize, and Extract todos. The menu is greyed out until an AI provider is set up and reachable.

Change tone

The command menu has a "Change tone" submenu that rewrites your selection in a chosen voice while keeping its meaning. Twelve tones are available: Analytical, Empathetic, Narrative, Academic, Enthusiastic, Humorous, Diplomatic, Inspirational, Technical, Reflective, Persuasive, and Neutral.

Slash commands in the AI chat

Type `/` in the AI chat input (this is separate from the editor's `/` menu for inserting blocks) to run a command instead of writing a full message. Control commands include `/ask` (answer only), `/edit` (change the note), `/find` (search your notes), `/help` (answer from these help docs), `/title`, `/related` (find related notes), `/new-from-clipboard`, `/clear` (wipe the conversation), and `/stop`. The same rewrite, fix, tone, and summarize actions from the command menu are available here too. Commands like `/ask`, `/edit`, `/find`, and `/translate` expect you to type the rest after them.

Selection, note, or block

Edit commands act on the smallest thing you have pointed at. With text selected, they change only the selection. With no selection but your cursor in a paragraph, they can change that block or the whole note. With nothing focused, they act on the whole note. Title, tag, and category suggestions always look at the whole note.
