Rewriting, proofreading and summarising with AI in Write by Zaweba

Once an AI account is connected, the AI menu offers a set of ready-made jobs. You select some text, pick what you want done, and choose where the result should go. Write by Zaweba doesn't include AI of its own; these actions use the account you have connected, and they only run when you ask.

The actions

Continue writing carries on from where your text stops. It is useful when you are stuck on how to finish a paragraph or need a few lines to get going again.

Rewrite offers five directions: Clearer, Shorter, Longer, More formal and Friendlier. Clearer untangles a sentence that has grown knots. Shorter trims a paragraph to fit a word limit. Longer fills out thin notes. More formal suits letters to a bank or council, and Friendlier softens an email that came out too stiff.

Proofread checks the text in UK English, so British spelling and usage are the standard it works to.

Summarise boils the selection down. Make bullet points turns a paragraph into a list, handy for notes from a meeting.

Translate puts the text into another language, and Write remembers the language you chose for next time.

Write a title suggests a heading for the selection. Draft from a description writes a first draft from a short description of what you need, such as a letter asking a neighbour about a shared fence. Explain describes what a passage means in plainer words, useful with dense contracts or technical documents.

Where the reply goes

You decide what happens with each reply. It can replace the selection, go in at the cursor, go in below the selection, open in a new document or simply be copied to the clipboard.

Insert below is the safest choice for most rewrites, because you can compare the new version with your own and keep the better parts of each. Replace is quickest when you trust the result, such as a proofread of a short paragraph. A new document suits drafts and summaries you want to keep separate.

Replies written in Markdown, which many AI models use, become real formatting in Write. Headings, bold text and lists arrive as proper styles and formatting rather than asterisks and hash signs.

One undo for each insertion

Every insertion is a single undo step. If a rewrite has replaced a paragraph and you prefer your original, one undo brings it back. You can try a suggestion, look at it in place and change your mind without any tidying up.

Getting good results

Select only what the job needs. A rewrite of one paragraph is better than a rewrite of a whole page, and it sends less of your work. If nothing is selected, Write sends the whole document's text, trimmed to 24,000 characters.

Proofread after you've finished, not while you're still drafting, so the suggestions land on the final wording.

Check facts. AI can sound confident and still be wrong, especially with dates, names and numbers. A summary of a report you wrote is easy to check; a draft of a letter about something technical needs care.

Keep your voice. Use Friendlier or Clearer as a suggestion, then edit the result so it sounds like you. Personal letters and applications especially should read as your own.

Between the AI actions and Write's own tools, such as UK spell check, word count and Find and Replace, you have help at every stage, while every final word is still your choice.
