Here are a few practical examples of how you can make the most of this feature to improve productivity and writing quality.

Example 1: Real-time refinement of written or selected content

Real-time refinement of written or selected content is a feature that allows users to instantly improve the quality of their writing. For example, if you're drafting a business proposal and want to ensure a professional tone, simply select the relevant text, and the Real-time Assistant will provide immediate feedback to refine and polish your content, making it clearer, more concise, and effective.

1. Click Kutools AI > Real-Time Assistant, and the Real-Time Assistant pane is displayed at the left of the Word document, see screenshot: (The Real time polishing feature is auto-enabled by default.)
   
2. Now, when you select the content in the Word, the AI will automatically enhance and refine the selected content. See the demo below:
   
3. After generating the refined text, you can either insert the new content after the original text or replace the original text directly by clicking the Insert or Replace button, depending on your needs. Alternatively, you can copy the content and paste it anywhere you need by clicking the Copy button.
   

Example 2: Real-time continuation of written or selected content

If you're writing a report and unsure how to continue a particular section, the real-time continuation feature will instantly generate relevant content to seamlessly extend your ideas, saving you time and effort while maintaining a coherent flow in your writing.

1. As you type in the Word document, the AI will automatically continue writing based on the content you've entered. See the demo below: (The Real time continuation feature is auto-enabled by default.)
   
2. After generating the continued text, you can insert it after your original content by clicking the Insert button. Alternatively, you can copy the content and paste it anywhere you need by clicking the Copy button. (Note: Please avoid clicking the Replace button, as it will overwrite your original text.)
   

Example 3: Real-time summarization of written or selected content

Imagine you’ve written a lengthy report and need to quickly summarize the key points. With the real-time summarization feature, you can either highlight specific sections or let the AI review the entire document.

Select the portion of the content or the entire document you want summarized, then click the Generate button. The AI will analyze the selected text and produce a concise summary. See the demo below: (The Summary feature's auto-mode is disabled by default.")

This feature allows for a more personalized and efficient workflow, ensuring that the AI-generated content aligns with your unique requirements.
