Drafts
Drafts are documents you create and edit alongside your conversations. Think of them as a shared workspace between you and the AI: the AI can write content into a draft, and you can edit it directly with a rich text editor. Everything stays in one place, right next to your conversation.
Opening the drafts panel
Drafts live in the right sidebar of the chat interface. Click the Drafts tab in the sidebar to open the drafts panel. From there you can create a new draft or open an existing one.
Creating a draft
Click New Draft in the drafts panel. You can give the draft a title and start typing right away. The rich text editor supports headings, bold, italic, lists, code blocks, links, and other common formatting.
You can also ask the AI to create a draft for you. For example:
“Create a draft with an outline for my project proposal”
The AI will create the draft and populate it with content. You’ll see it appear in the drafts panel automatically.
AI writing to drafts
The AI can read from and write to your drafts as part of a conversation. You might ask it to:
- Write a first draft of a document based on your notes
- Edit or rewrite a section you’ve highlighted
- Add a conclusion to something you’ve already started
- Summarize a long draft into bullet points
When the AI writes to a draft, the changes appear in the editor in real time. You can keep chatting to refine the content, and the AI will update the draft as you go.
Editing drafts yourself
Click anywhere in the draft to start editing. The rich text toolbar appears at the top of the editor with formatting options. Your changes are saved automatically as you type.
You can edit a draft and then return to the conversation to ask the AI to continue from where you left off. The AI always sees the current state of the draft.
Version history
Every time the AI writes to a draft, a new version is saved automatically. You can also save a version manually by clicking Save version in the draft toolbar.
To browse version history, click the History icon in the draft toolbar. You’ll see a list of saved versions with timestamps. Click any version to preview it. To restore a previous version, click Restore and confirm. The current content becomes a new version before the restore, so you won’t lose anything.
Exporting a draft
When your draft is ready, you can export it in several formats:
- PDF: A formatted PDF document, suitable for sharing or printing.
- Word (DOCX): A Microsoft Word file you can open and edit in any word processor.
- LaTeX: A .tex source file for use in LaTeX editors or academic publishing workflows.
- Markdown: Plain text with Markdown formatting, useful for developers or publishing to platforms that accept Markdown.
To export, click the Export button in the draft toolbar and choose your format.
