At the end of where you stopped.

Place your cursor at the end of your last paragraph (no text selected, otherwise AI Assist opens in rewrite mode). Click the AI button in the left sidebar. With the chapter not empty, AI Assist shows quick prompt chips. Tap "Continue writing from where I left off" (or "Continue the scene from where I left off" if you are in a fiction book).

AI uses the chapter content as context so the new paragraph reads in your voice. Generate as many times as you like until one fits.
Accidentally in rewrite mode?
If you opened AI Assist with text selected, it enters rewrite mode and shows a "Rewriting:" strip at the top. Click "Continue instead" on the right of that strip to drop the selection and switch to continue-from-cursor mode.
How to change the tone of AI output
Tone is driven by your book's genre. Change genre for the whole book, or rewrite individual passages in a new tone.
2 min read · Updated 2026-05-13
Key takeaways
Whole book
Tone is auto-derived from the book's genre. Change it in Settings.
Single passage
Highlight text and use AI Assist rewrite for a different tone on that paragraph.
Four base tones
storytelling, professional, educational, friendly. Auto-picked from genre.
Whole-book tone: change the genre
AI writes in a tone that matches your book's genre. There is no separate tone dropdown; the genre you picked when you created the book drives it.
- Open the book in the editor.
- Click the Settings (gear) icon in the left sidebar.
- Change the Genre dropdown to the one that fits the voice you want. The field hint reads "Controls AI assistant tone and output style".
- Click Save. Future AI generations on this book will use the new tone.
How genre maps to tone
The mapping AI uses behind the scenes:
- storytelling: Fiction, Kids Fiction, True Crime, Biography. Narrative, scenic prose.
- professional: Business, Marketing, Technical Guide. Clean, authoritative.
- educational: Cookbook, Study Guide, Lesson Plan, How-To Guide. Instructional, step-by-step.
- friendly: every other genre (default). Warm, conversational.
Tone for a single passage
To restyle just one paragraph (e.g. make a section punchier or more conversational without changing the whole book), highlight it and open AI Assist. Because text is selected, AI Assist opens in rewrite mode.
- Quick chips: "More conversational tone", "Tighten the prose", "Shorter and punchier", and others (varies by genre).
- Custom prompt: type any instruction, e.g. "make it more formal", "warmer voice", "drier and more academic".
How to fix grammar with AI
One-click fix via the "Fix grammar and flow" chip, or type your own instruction.

Compare the original to the rewrite and click Apply to replace the selection. Especially handy after voice dictation or if English is not your first language.
