Core Tools- When to Press What
Last updated October 29, 2025
Tools are smart buttons that work with one click. One smart prompt that instructs a selected AI model to generate text or transform a selection of text inside your document editor. We've loaded you up with more than 30 useful Tools, for everything from drafting, editing, polishing, and marketing. Pin and unpin your favorites as needed from your Tools Library.
4.1 Core Tools —When to Press What These are just a few examples to give you a sense of what Tools can do. We recommend you experiment to get the feel for what might be useful in your workflow (also, don't be afraid to try creating your own in the Library)!
| Tool | Use-It-When | Quick Shortcut |
| Go | You want to prompt the AI directly in the document, for example: you just typed an instruction or scene seed and want fresh text right in place. | Draft a hook, expand a beat, generate alt lines. |
| Continue | Cursor at end of a paragraph and momentum stalled. | Keeps voice, pacing, and POV intact. |
| Make Outline | You have a premise or notes and need structure. | Turns bullets into a chapter-by-chapter roadmap. |
| Fix It | Selected text feels off—tone, length, clarity, anything. | “Tighten,” “Add sensory,” “Shift to 1st-person,” etc. |
| Editing Plan | Session wrap-up; you want next steps, not more words. | Outputs a checklist: cuts, expansions, continuity checks. |
Tip: Tools read only the docs that are toggled ON (Section 3), and they need variables to do this, which you'll find inside the prompt editor (click show variables). Variables allow your Tools to pull in your document content and text before and after your cursor, as well as provide additional instructions (in the case of selected text). All the Tools we set you up with have these variables already, but if you want to create your own, we recommend using the Prompt Builder to get started.
