Tips for Best Results

  • Write your message first, then use AI Rewrite. Procare AI works best when it has your full thought to work with, even if it is rough or informal.

  • Try different tones. If the first rewrite does not feel right, revert and try a different tone. Each tone produces a meaningfully different result. Each time you select the same tone, Procare AI may generate different wording for that tone. We recommend selecting tones more than once to see different suggestions.

  • You can edit after rewriting. The rewritten text is fully editable. Treat it as a starting point, not a final draft.

  • Rating rewrites helps improve the feature. Rate each rewrite to share your feedback about the quality.
