Tip: fix an email in Gmail without copy and paste

The usual habit with AI is copy and paste: copy your draft, paste it into a chat window, ask for a fix, then copy the result back into the email. Four steps, and the risk of losing a piece along the way.

With Weightless AI, the text is fixed right where you write it.

In three moves

1. In Gmail, write your email as usual. Select the passage to rework, or just click in the text to take all of it.
2. Right-click, then choose Weightless AI: rewrite.
3. Pick the action: Fix spelling & grammar, Rephrase, Shorten, More professional tone or Warmer tone.

The answer shows in the assistant, then automatically replaces your text in the email, in its original language: an email in French stays in French.

Not happy? Undo

Don’t like the result? Click Undo in the assistant, or press Ctrl + Z in Gmail: your original text comes back.

Which action to choose?

• Fix spelling & grammar: spelling, grammar, agreement. The style stays the same.
• Rephrase: same idea, clearer sentences.
• Shorten: for the email that takes three paragraphs when one would do.
• More professional tone: for a client, an administration, a recruiter.
• Warmer tone: when the message sounds too curt.

It works elsewhere too

Outlook, contact forms, LinkedIn and social networks, most publishing tools: anywhere you can type. One notable exception: Google Docs does not let an extension write into its pages. Weightless AI then copies the fixed text; just paste it with Ctrl + V.

Bonus: have the whole reply written

For a full reply rather than a fix: click in the reply field, open the assistant with Alt + W, tell it what you want to say, then click Insert under its answer. It is written at the cursor, with no stray formatting.

And if the reply sets a meeting, the Actions button right next to it sends it to your calendar. That’s what’s new in version 3.22.
