Agent Capabilities

What the Agent Can Do

The Revise agent isn't a chatbot bolted onto a text box - it operates the same document engine you do, so nearly anything you can do in the editor, you can ask for in plain language. This page is the high-level inventory. If you're ever unsure whether the agent can do something, just ask it - the worst case is a polite no.

Writing & Rewriting

• Draft anything - from a blank page to a full document, in your voice or a specified one.
• Rewrite any paragraph, list, or section - tighten, expand, change tone, fix grammar - with word-level precision, so only the words that change are touched.
• Restructure - split and merge paragraphs, reorder sections, turn prose into lists (or lists into prose), add or remove whole blocks anywhere in the document.
• Work at any scale - one sentence, one section, or an entire 100-page manuscript pass.

Formatting & Style

• Format any range - bold, italics, underline, highlights, text colors, fonts, and sizes.
• Style whole blocks - promote text to headings, set alignment, adjust list types, or clear formatting entirely.
• Insert rich content - tables, images, code blocks with syntax highlighting, LaTeX equations, and Mermaid diagrams.
• Edit tables structurally - add or remove rows and columns, and revise cell contents.

Document Furniture

• Headers and footers - ask the agent to put the document title in the header, add "Page 3 of 12"-style page numbers in any corner, or clear a band entirely.
• Footnotes and endnotes - insert citations and notes at the right spot, or convert all notes between footnote and endnote style.
• Page layout - page size, orientation, margins, paragraph spacing, and switching between paged and pageless mode.
• Document metadata - rename the document or keep working notes attached to it.

Reading & Research

• Navigate long documents efficiently - the agent skims, searches within the document, and reads only the sections it needs, which keeps it fast and light on your usage limit.
• Find your highlights - flag passages with highlights and tell the agent "fix the yellow ones".
• Search your other documents - the agent can list, search, and read across your account and folders to pull in context ("check my research folder and cite the relevant studies"). See Giving the Agent Context.
• Search the web - on supported models, the agent can look up current facts and sources while it writes.
• Read what you attach - PDFs, images, and files attached to the chat become working context.
• Measure - word counts, page estimates, and section lengths, useful for "cut this to 500 words" requests.

Working With You, Not Over You

• Everything is reviewable - edits arrive as green-and-red suggestions you accept or reject, individually or all at once.
• Word-compatible - those suggestions export to .docx as real tracked changes, so downstream Word reviewers see proper redlines.
• Long autonomous runs - with Extended Mode, the agent works through big multi-step jobs before checking in.
