# **What is Edit with Ask AI?**

Edit with Ask AI is a conversational editing tool that helps you revise content inside Social Planner using natural language instructions. You can ask Ask AI to rewrite, shorten, expand, simplify, polish, reformat, or adjust the tone of selected content without manually rewriting the post from scratch.

Edit with Ask AI is currently available in **Social Planner** wherever **Content AI** is enabled. It is designed to help you refine content after a draft already exists, whether that draft was generated by Content AI or written manually.

## **Key Benefits of Edit with Ask AI**

Edit with Ask AI makes content refinement faster and more flexible by letting you explain exactly how a post should change. This gives you more control than a one-click edit while still keeping the workflow simple inside Social Planner.

-   **Conversational editing:** Give Ask AI natural language instructions instead of manually rewriting content.

-   **Preview before applying:** Review revised content before replacing the original text.

-   **Flexible editing control:** Shorten, expand, simplify, polish, reformat, or change tone based on your goal.

-   **Copy or replace edits:** Replace the original content or copy the revised version for use elsewhere.

-   **Saved editing sessions:** Return to previous editing conversations without losing context.

-   **No extra AI credits for edits:** Use conversational edits without consuming additional AI credits.

## **Content AI vs. Quick AI Actions vs. Edit with Ask AI**

Social Planner includes multiple AI-assisted ways to create and improve content. Knowing when to use each option helps you choose the right tool for the task.

-   **Content AI:** Use this to generate the first draft of a social post from guided inputs.

-   **Quick AI actions:** Use these for simple one-click edits, such as improving writing, fixing grammar, shortening, or expanding content.

-   **Edit with Ask AI:** Use this when you want to give custom editing instructions and refine content through a chat-style experience.

For example, you might use **Content AI** to create the first draft, then use **Edit with Ask AI** to make the post more casual, add a stronger call to action, or rewrite it for a specific audience.
