You can view suggestions, launch the revision assistant, and interact with AI—all from the same interface.

  • Feedback or suggestions
  • Help with rewriting, tone adjustments, and clarity

Note: You can use up to 1,000 prompts per day. If you reach your limit, AI Chat will reset the next day.

Controlling context with window awareness

To change the context:

  1. Click Attach in the AI Chat interface.
  2. Choose a different open window to guide the AI’s response.

Limitations: Window awareness does not currently support Google Docs or Google Slides. However, if you highlight text in a Google Doc while the assistant is open, AI Chat can still use that selected text for ideation and suggestions.

Using preset quick prompts

To use preset quick prompts, select the text you’d like to improve, click the blue sidebar that appears on the left, and select one of the options available at the top of the suggestion card:

You can also type a custom prompt by selecting Revise with AI. To use the generated text, click Accept.

Moving the Grammarly tab

If the Grammarly tab overlaps your text or an important user interface element, or you’d just like to move it somewhere else, you can slide it up and down along the side of your screen.
