We just released a new way to edit and rewrite text in Type, with the help of the built in AI writing assistant.

You'll now be shown suggested edits directly inline when you rewrite text using Type's AI commands. You can accept or reject the suggestions individually – or all at once.

We also added new keyboard shortcuts for flying through AI suggestions:

  • Accept edit: A
  • Reject edit: R
  • Accept all: Command + Enter
  • Next suggestion: Shift + Command + . (Period)
  • Previous suggestion: Shift + Command + , (Comma)
  • Dismiss all: Escape

Note for PC users: use the CTRL key instead of Command.

To try AI suggested edits, just highlight some text in a Type document, tap the "AI" button, and select an editing command. (For a refresh on what each of the Brushes do, check out the Brushes section in our overview guide.)

We look forward to seeing what you write!

Frequently Asked Questions

How does AI make editing faster?

AI tools can quickly analyze and suggest edits for grammar, style, structure, and clarity. This reduces the time spent manually reviewing and revising content, allowing you to focus on the creative and strategic aspects of your writing.

What types of edits can AI help with?

AI can assist with a variety of edits, including grammar and spelling corrections, sentence rephrasing, tone adjustments, consistency checks, and even optimizing readability for specific audiences. It’s like having a virtual editor at your fingertips!

Is AI editing as reliable as a human editor?

While AI is excellent for catching basic errors and offering suggestions, it’s not perfect. It may miss context-specific nuances or creative subtleties. For the best results, use AI for initial edits and follow up with a human touch for final polish.
