Transform Your Documents with AI
Cicero Intern isn't just a chatbot—it's a powerful editing assistant that can directly modify your documents. This guide shows you how to leverage AI for faster, better editing.
How AI Editing Works
When you ask Cicero Intern to make changes to your document, it uses specialized tools to edit directly. Changes appear highlighted with a blue underline, giving you the opportunity to review before accepting.
Insert Text
Add new content anywhere in your document:
At the cursor position:
"Add a paragraph about market trends here"
At the start:
"Add an executive summary at the beginning of this document"
At the end:
"Add a conclusion section at the end"
The insert tool places content exactly where you need it without disturbing existing text.
Replace Selection
Select text first, then ask for improvements:
- Highlight the text you want to change
- Open Cicero Intern
- Ask for a specific change
Examples:
"Make this more concise"
"Rewrite this in a professional tone"
"Simplify this explanation"
The original text will be replaced with the AI's improved version, marked for your review.
Find and Replace
Make consistent changes throughout your document:
"Change all instances of 'user' to 'customer'"
"Replace every mention of '2023' with '2024'"
This works like traditional find-and-replace but with the intelligence to understand context.
Edit Document
For more complex changes, the edit document tool can find specific text and replace it:
"Find the paragraph about pricing and make it more compelling"
"Locate the introduction and add a hook sentence"
Format Text
Apply formatting without manual selection:
"Make the section headers bold"
"Convert the bullet points to a numbered list"
"Add heading style to 'Key Findings'"
Available formatting options include:
- Bold, italic, underline
- Headings (H1, H2, H3)
- Lists (numbered, bullet, todo)
- Blockquotes
The Blue Highlight System
When Cicero Intern makes changes, they appear with a distinctive blue underline. This visual marker:
- Shows exactly what text was added or modified
- Allows you to review changes before they become permanent
- Can be accepted or rejected with a single click
Combining Multiple Edits
You can request multiple changes in one prompt:
"Make the introduction shorter, add a conclusion, and fix any grammatical errors"
Cicero Intern will process each request and apply all changes, each marked for your review.
Best Practices for AI Editing
Be specific about location: Instead of "add some text," say "add a transition sentence after the first paragraph."
Describe the desired outcome: Instead of "fix this," say "make this paragraph more persuasive by adding concrete examples."
Use selection when possible: Selecting text before making a request helps the AI understand exactly what you want changed.
Review incrementally: For large documents, work section by section rather than requesting wholesale changes.
When AI Editing Excels
Cicero Intern is particularly effective for:
- Tone adjustments - Making text more formal, casual, or persuasive
- Conciseness - Reducing word count while preserving meaning
- Clarity - Simplifying complex explanations
- Consistency - Standardizing terminology throughout a document
- Expansion - Adding detail or examples to thin sections
