How to Use the Edit with Ask AI Feature in Social Planner
What is Edit with Ask AI?
Edit with Ask AI is a conversational tool within Social Planner that allows you to refine your social media content using natural language instructions. Instead of rewriting posts manually, you can ask the AI to adjust tone, length, formatting, or clarity, making revisions faster and more intuitive. This feature is available wherever Content AI is enabled and is ideal for polishing existing drafts, whether they were created by AI or written by hand.
Key Benefits
Edit with Ask AI streamlines content refinement by offering several advantages:
- Conversational Editing: Provide instructions in plain language instead of manually editing text.
- Preview Changes: Review AI-suggested revisions before applying them.
- Flexible Control: Request changes like shortening, expanding, simplifying, or reformatting content.
- Copy or Replace Options: Choose to update the original content or copy the revised version for use elsewhere.
- Session Memory: Return to previous editing conversations without losing context.
- No Extra AI Credits: Conversational edits do not consume additional AI credits.
How It Compares to Other AI Tools
Social Planner includes multiple AI features, each suited to different tasks:
- Content AI: Generates initial drafts from guided inputs.
- Quick AI Actions: Offers one-click edits like improving writing or fixing grammar.
- Edit with Ask AI: Best for custom instructions and chat-style refinement of existing content.
For example, you might use Content AI to create a draft, then use Edit with Ask AI to tailor it for a specific audience or tone.
How to Use Edit with Ask AI
Access Social Planner
Navigate to Marketing > Social Planner to create, edit, or manage social posts.
Open a Post
Create a new post using the + New Post button or open an existing draft by selecting Edit from the three-dot menu. Ensure the post has content for the AI to revise.
Open the AI Menu
Click the purple AI button in the content toolbar to open the AI editing menu.
Select Edit with Ask AI
Choose Edit with Ask AI from the menu. This option is ideal for custom instructions, unlike predefined quick actions.
Enter Your Instruction
Tell the AI how you want the content changed. Be specific about tone, length, audience, or format. For example:
- “Make this more professional but still friendly.”
- “Shorten this for a Facebook post.”
- “Add a stronger call to action.”
Preview and Refine
Review the revised content to ensure it matches your goals. If needed, continue the conversation with follow-up instructions, such as:
- “Make it more concise.”
- “Keep the message but make it more casual.”
Apply the Changes
When satisfied, choose to:
- Replace: Update the original content with the revised version.
- Copy: Copy the revised text to use elsewhere while keeping the original unchanged.
Review and Finalize
Check the post preview panel to see how the content will appear on the selected social platform. Verify text, formatting, media, and links before saving or publishing.
