# Ask AI

> Ask for changes in plain words, like "make the intro shorter".

**Ask AI** is a chat inside the editor. Tell it what you want changed, and it suggests edits you can accept or skip.

![The Ask AI panel with suggestion buttons and a box to type a request](https://mintcdn.com/cutaway-docs/XxDikROkCqqX_dyv/images/screens/tab-chat.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=XxDikROkCqqX_dyv\&q=85\&s=1fc770f92bd008268b71b8ded93f29bb)

## Ask for a change

**1. Open Ask AI**

Click the **speech bubble** in the right sidebar, or press **Command + 9**.

**2. Type what you want**

Use your own words. For example:

* "Tighten the intro"
* "Fewer zooms, calmer overall"
* "Zoom in when I open settings"
* "Where does it drag?"

Or click one of the suggestions. Press **Return** to send.

**3. Look at the suggestions**

The AI answers with **cards**. Each card is one change, with a short reason.

**4. Apply or skip**

Press **Apply** on the cards you like, or **Apply all**. Press **Dismiss** to skip one.

## Add an animation

Ask AI can add [animations](https://cutaway-docs.mintlify.site/edit/animations.md) too. For example: "add a subscribe button saying Join when I say subscribe", or "add an arrow when I say click here".

* If one of the ready-made animations fits, its card says **Add animation**. It goes in at the right moment with your words.
* If none fits (say, "some confetti at the end"), the card says **Write it…**. That opens the animation window, where your AI makes it and shows it to you before you add it.

## Every change is a version

Each change you apply is saved as a **version**. Changed your mind? Open **History** (the clock icon) and go back. See [Undo and versions](https://cutaway-docs.mintlify.site/edit/undo-and-versions.md).

## Without an AI helper

Ask AI works best with an [AI helper](https://cutaway-docs.mintlify.site/ai/set-up-ai.md) connected. Without one, it still understands a few simple requests, such as "less movement", "no zooms", "more movement", "tighter", "slower" and "keep this".
