Document assistant
The AI assistant lives in a chat sidebar within the editor. You can ask it to:- Generate content — “Write an executive summary for this report”
- Edit and restructure — “Move the conclusion before the appendix”
- Adjust formatting — “Make all headings blue and centered”
- Explain and improve — “Simplify this paragraph for a non-technical audience”
Selection-based actions
Select any text in the editor and ask the AI to work with it specifically:- Rewrite a paragraph in a different tone
- Translate selected content
- Expand bullet points into full paragraphs
- Summarize a long section
Style generation
Describe the look you want in plain language, and the AI generates matching style definitions:- “Corporate design with dark blue headings and a clean sans-serif font”
- “Academic paper style with serif fonts and numbered headings”
- “Modern report with accent colors and large section headers”
Image generation
Generate illustrations and graphics directly within the editor:- Describe what you need in natural language
- The AI creates the image and inserts it at the correct position
- Images are automatically sized and captioned
AI features consume tokens from your organization’s balance. Token usage varies by operation — content generation uses more tokens than simple formatting changes.
Why Autype is AI-native
Most document editors store content in proprietary binary formats that AI models can’t work with directly. Autype’s approach is different — the underlying JSON schema is directly accessible:| Traditional editors | Autype |
|---|---|
Binary/XML formats (.docx, .odt) | JSON schema with Markdown content |
| AI needs format conversion | AI reads the document schema natively |
| Edits may break formatting | Structured edits preserve styling |
| Limited to text generation | Can modify structure, styles, and variables |
