01
Functions, not prompts
Every AI action is a button on a block — expand, condense, simplify, correct, translate. No prompt engineering, no copy-paste between a chatbot and your document.
AI as functions, not prompts
Structured writing, with AI built in.
Grow bullet points into paragraphs. Condense, simplify, correct and translate — each one a function you apply to a block, not a prompt you have to write. Every edit is a diff you accept or reject.
Why it works
Three ideas at the core
A writing tool, not a chat window. The AI stays close to your text and always leaves you in control.
02
Structure first
Write in blocks — bullets, sentences, paragraphs, sections. The outline is the document, so edits stay local, ordered and easy to reason about.
03
You stay in control
Every suggestion arrives as a diff you accept or reject. Insights show who wrote what — you versus the AI — word by word.
Designed around the writing, not the model
Most AI writing happens in a separate chat: you describe what you want, paste the result back, and lose the thread of your own document. intell-write closes that gap. The AI lives inside a structured editor and acts directly on the blocks you are working on.
By turning common operations into named functions, it removes the repetitive prompting that open-ended tools demand. You are not re-explaining your intent each time — you are pressing “condense” on the paragraph in front of you.
The scientific approach
The tool deliberately constrains what the AI can do. Rather than an open prompt box that can do anything, it offers a focused set of writing functions.
This trades functional flexibility for effectiveness: a smaller, well-chosen set of actions makes the tool faster to use and its results easier to predict and control than an unrestricted assistant.
The concept of functional flexibility is taken from research on AI-assisted writing — arXiv:2410.10644.
