# Using AI in Smart Documents

## Overview

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been integrated into **Smart Documents** to simplify the creation and editing of documents within the platform.

With this feature, users can generate content directly inside the Smart Document editor using the **AI Assistant**. This allows users to quickly create **contracts, forms, agreements, and other types of documents** by simply writing a prompt.

Additionally, the **AI Shortcuts** feature allows users to refine existing text by improving writing, simplifying language, expanding or shortening content, changing tone or style, and translating text.

These tools help streamline document creation and make it easier to build document templates more efficiently.

### 1. Go to Smart Documents

### 4. Use the AI Assistant

Once the **AI icon** is selected, a panel will appear at the **bottom of the screen** showing the **AI Assistant**.

Here you can type instructions or prompts for the AI.
For example:

`Create a contract for me`

The AI will generate content based on the request you provide.
