You've got a rough draft. Bullet points, half-finished paragraphs, maybe some notes you pasted from a meeting. It needs to become a real document — but rewriting takes time you don't have.
That's exactly where AI Assist comes in.
What AI Assist Does
AI Assist lives inside PaperQuire's editor. Select any text, right-click, and choose an action:
Rewrite — Rephrase your selection for clarity and tone, keeping the meaning intact
Expand — Turn bullet points or short notes into full paragraphs
Summarize — Condense a long section into a concise summary
Fix grammar — Clean up spelling, punctuation, and awkward phrasing
Translate — Convert your text to another language
Custom prompt — Tell the AI exactly what you want ("make this more formal", "add examples", "simplify for a non-technical audience")
Every action works on your selection — you stay in control of what gets changed and what doesn't.
Bring Your Own Key
PaperQuire doesn't route your content through our servers. You plug in your own API key from any supported provider:
OpenAI (GPT-4o, GPT-4o mini)
Anthropic (Claude Sonnet, Claude Haiku)
Google (Gemini Pro)
Local models (Ollama, LM Studio — for fully air-gapped workflows)
Your documents, your key, your choice. Nothing leaves your machine unless you explicitly configure an external provider.
A Real Workflow: Meeting Notes to Executive Summary
Here's a concrete example. You come out of a 45-minute meeting with this:
- Q2 revenue up 12% vs forecast
- APAC expansion delayed, regulatory issues
- New pricing tier launching Aug 1
- Customer churn down to 3.2%, lowest ever
- Engineering headcount: 3 open roles, 2 offers out
- Board meeting moved to July 18
Select all, click Expand, and AI Assist turns it into:
Q2 revenue came in 12% above forecast, driven primarily by enterprise upsells in North America. The planned APAC expansion has been delayed due to unresolved regulatory requirements in two target markets; the team is working with local counsel to clear the path for a Q4 launch.
A new pricing tier is scheduled to go live on August 1, targeting mid-market teams who've outgrown the free plan but don't need enterprise features. Early signals are positive — customer churn dropped to 3.2% this quarter, the lowest rate on record.
Engineering is actively hiring for three open roles, with two offers currently outstanding. The next board meeting has been rescheduled to July 18.
From there, pick a template, add a cover page, and export. Five minutes from raw notes to a boardroom-ready PDF.
Tips for Getting the Most Out of AI Assist
Be specific with custom prompts. "Make this better" is vague. "Rewrite this for a technical audience, keep it under 200 words" gives the AI clear constraints.
Work in passes. Expand first, then rewrite for tone, then fix grammar. Each pass is small and reviewable.
Use it for structure, not just prose. Select a wall of text and ask "Break this into sections with H2 headings." AI Assist can reorganize, not just rewrite.
Pair it with templates. AI Assist handles the content; templates handle the presentation. Together, they take you from zero to finished document faster than any other workflow.
Privacy First
We built AI Assist with a hard rule: PaperQuire never sees your content. There's no PaperQuire backend involved — your editor talks directly to the provider you configured. If you use a local model through Ollama, your content never leaves your network at all.
AI Assist is available on all plans. Download PaperQuire and try it with your own API key — the difference in your workflow will be immediate.
