Using assistant to streamline your communication

Explore assistant’s core capabilities

Assistant is an AI driven feature that supports writers and editors while in the Axios HQ editor. Assistant can help you apply the Smart Brevity style to your writers’ drafts, compose your drafts in the Smart Brevity style, brainstorm topics for your next edition and offer topic templates to guide your writers. 

💡Assistant took our various AI features (Smart Brevify, Tone Variation, Translate, and Brainstorm) and combined them into one interactive feature that allows you to achieve a finished product instead of individual solutions. The assistant also helps you take your communication strategy to the next level by connecting to your communication data and generating insights for your next edition.
