The short version

  1. Space on an empty line opens the AI menu; Brainstorm ideas produced three Instagram carousel concepts on Robusta versus Arabica for Indian audiences (0:00-0:04).
  2. Ask AI on selected text can return a flowchart as a code block; switch its language dropdown to Preview to render it (0:04-0:07, 0:13).
  3. Edit in place: change tone (friendly), fix spelling and grammar, improve writing, make longer; draft a five-line raise-request email from a blank page (0:07-0:13).

The concepts in full

01

Flowcharts from selected text

how-to

"I'm a visual learner - that's why I love flowcharts more than running text."

From the coffee text it built a flow with a geographical progression; a second prompt, "make a flow chart of topics and subtopics for my YouTube channel on fashion", rendered a cramped but useful topic tree. The block offers a language dropdown, caption and "turn into"; techies can copy the code to another tool. The diagram syntax is never named in the lesson.

Why it matters

Quick visual structure for plans and content maps.

02

Edit in place: tone, grammar, length - and drafts from scratch

how-to

Tone-matching that took agencies hours is now "a jiffy".

Change tone to friendly turned formal coffee copy playful; fix spelling and grammar and improve writing cleaned an old post; make longer expanded it. "Draft an email requesting my manager for a raise ... formal ... after proving my value in the last year, short five-liner" returned a subject line and body with [manager name] placeholders to fill. He used to manage formal and friendly brand voices for big Indian brands as a social media manager.

Why it matters

One menu for most writing chores.
