Ask Narra while you Edit

Ask Narra is the AI editor inside the writing workspace. You tell it what to change in plain language and it makes the edit.

It is the right tool when you know what is wrong with a passage but would rather not rewrite it yourself.

Opening It

Three ways:

1. The toolbar. Select Ask Narra on the right of the editor toolbar.
2. Select text. Highlighting a passage brings up a toolbar with Ask Narra on it.
3. Quick actions on a selection. The same toolbar offers Rephrase and Expand on this directly.

Selecting text first is almost always better, because it tells Ask Narra exactly what to work on.

There is no slash command menu in the editor.

Giving an Instruction

The input placeholder describes the scope: "Ask Narra to improve the highlighted text or a section of your article…"

Type the instruction and select Send instruction. Stop cancels a run in progress. Close Ask Narra closes the panel.

Suggested Instructions

With nothing typed, Ask Narra offers suggestions, which double as a guide to what it handles well:

• Rephrase this selection
• Expand this selection
• Make this selection more concise
• Fix grammar in this selection
• Include a given keyword naturally here
• Improve the introduction
• Tighten the conclusion
• Fix grammar and clarity
• Strengthen SEO for a given keyword
• Add more internal links

What it Costs

Credits depend on what the instruction requires, as of 2026-08-30:

The panel shows "Uses 25 credits" before you send, so you always see the price for the instruction you actually typed.

Credits are held rather than spent immediately. The panel notes "Held until delivered. Stop anytime." Stopping before delivery means you are not charged for an edit you did not receive.

For substantial requests you get an explicit warning that it is a large edit using 300 credits, so the price is never a surprise after the fact.

Why the Price Varies

A quick edit works with the text in front of it: rephrasing, tightening, fixing grammar, adjusting tone.

A research-backed edit needs information it does not have, such as adding a current statistic or a reference.

A large edit rewrites or generates a substantial amount of the article.

The practical consequence: how you phrase the instruction affects the price. "Tighten this paragraph" is a quick edit. "Rewrite this section with current industry data" is not.

Writing Instructions that Work

Select the text you mean. A selection gives Ask Narra a precise target. Without one it has to infer.

Say what outcome you want, not just that you dislike it. "Make this less repetitive, the same point is made three times" beats "improve this".

One change at a time. A single clear instruction produces a better result than four bundled together, and lets you keep what worked.

Include the constraint. "Shorter, but keep the statistic" saves you undoing an edit that dropped it.

Quick Actions

Rephrase and Expand on this are on the selection toolbar. They are the two most common requests, without typing.

Notes

Ask Narra edits your draft directly. Use undo if you do not like the result, and note that undo does not return credits.

The selection toolbar also has inline formatting and link controls, so small fixes are often faster there than through Ask Narra.

Manual editing is free. For a one-word change or a typo, type it.

There is a separate Ask Narra page in the sidebar, which is for research and questions about your content rather than editing a draft. This article is about the editor panel.

When to Use Something Else

Content Boost if you want the mechanical Content Score gaps closed across the whole article for 100 credits, rather than issuing instructions passage by passage.

Humanize if the problem is stiff wording throughout rather than one specific passage.

Your own hands when you know exactly what the sentence should say. It is free and it is your voice.
