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.

Edit with Ask AI is available from the AI menu inside the Social Planner post editor. Use it when you want to refine post content through a chat-style editing experience instead of choosing a one-click AI action.

Open Marketing, then go to Social Planner. This is where you can create, edit, preview, save, schedule, and publish social posts.

Start a new post or open an existing draft. You can either edit the existing post with the Edit option under three dots menu or create a new post using "+ New Post" option.

The post editor shows the Post to selector, the Type content field, formatting tools, platform options, and the live post preview.

Add or review the post content

Enter content in the Type content field or review existing draft text. Edit with Ask AI works best when there is content available for Ask AI to revise, rewrite, shorten, expand, or improve.

Click the purple AI button beside the content formatting toolbar. This opens the AI editing menu for the social post content.

Select Edit with Ask AI

From the AI menu, choose Edit with Ask AI. The menu may also show quick AI actions such as Generate with AI, Improve writing, Fix spelling and grammar, Simplify writing, Make longer, and Make shorter.

Use Edit with Ask AI when you want to give a custom instruction instead of using a predefined quick action.

Enter your editing instruction

Tell Ask AI how you want the content changed. Be specific about tone, length, audience, platform, format, or call to action.

Example prompts:

“Make this more professional but still friendly.”

“Shorten this for a Facebook post.”

“Add a stronger call to action.”

“Rewrite this for small business owners.”

“Make this easier to understand.”

Preview the revised content

Review the revised version before applying it. Check that the updated content matches your brand voice, post goal, platform, and audience.

Continue refining the content

If the edit is close but not final, continue the conversation with another instruction. You can ask Ask AI to make the post shorter, warmer, more direct, more detailed, or better formatted.

Example follow-up prompts:

“Make it more concise.”

“Keep the same message but make it more casual.”

“Add one sentence about booking a consultation.”

“Make the opening line stronger.”

Replace the original content or copy the revision

When the revised version is ready, choose whether to replace the original content or copy the revised version.

Replace: Updates the content in the Type content field with the revised version.

Copy: Copies the revised version so you can paste it elsewhere while keeping the original content unchanged.

Use Replace when you are ready to update the post. Use Copy when you want to keep both versions.

Review the post preview

Check the Post Preview panel to see how the content may appear on the selected social channel. Review the post text, formatting, media, links, and platform-specific options before saving or publishing.

Save, schedule, or publish the post

After reviewing the final content, choose whether to save the post for later, schedule it, or publish it. Always review the final post manually before publishing.

Preview, Replace, and Copy

Edit with Ask AI lets you control how revisions are applied. This helps you review the AI-generated version before changing the original content.

Preview: Shows the revised version before it is applied.

Replace: Updates the selected original content with the revised version.

Copy: Copies the revised version so you can use it elsewhere.

Preview the edit before choosing Replace. If you are unsure or want to keep both versions, use Copy first.
