AI writing assistant
Use AI Assist in the Ecency editor to polish your writing, suggest tags and titles, summarize posts and dictate text, paid with Ecency Points.
AI Assist is a writing helper built into the Ecency editor. It can polish your draft, fix grammar, suggest tags, propose titles and write a short summary. Each use costs a few Ecency Points. Everyone gets a small free allowance every day.
Where to find it
Section titled “Where to find it”- Web: in the post editor (ecency.com/publish), click the AI button in the toolbar (tooltip AI Assist).
- Mobile: in the post editor, tap the toolbar button with the small AI badge.
You need to be logged in, because uses are paid from your Points balance.
Actions
Section titled “Actions”Write your content first, then open AI Assist and pick what you want to do:
| Action | What it does | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Improve Writing | Polishes grammar, clarity and style | 50 Points |
| Check Grammar | Fixes grammar and spelling | 10 Points |
| Suggest Tags | Suggests relevant tags for your post | 10 Points |
| Generate Title | Gives you three title options to choose from | 10 Points |
| Recap | Writes a short TL;DR summary | 30 Points |
These are the prices at the time of writing. The dialog always shows the current Cost and your Balance before you run an action.
Your text needs at least 50 characters for Improve Writing and Check Grammar. The other actions need at least 100 characters. The maximum is 10,000 characters.
Free daily uses
Section titled “Free daily uses”Every account gets 1 free use of each action per day. The dialog shows how many free uses you have left today. Ecency Pro members get 5 free uses of each action per day. The free allowance resets at midnight UTC.
Using the result
Section titled “Using the result”When the result is ready you can:
- Apply to post: for Improve Writing, Check Grammar and Recap, this replaces your post text with the result. Generate Title sets the title you picked and Suggest Tags adds the tags.
- Copy the result and paste it where you want it. This is the safer choice for Recap if you want to keep your full post and add a summary.
- Try Again or Try Another Action.
On the web, Show changes highlights what Improve Writing or Check Grammar changed before you apply it.
If a request fails, your Points are refunded. If your text is rejected by the content policy, the Points are not refunded.
Recap a post you are reading
Section titled “Recap a post you are reading”On the web, logged-in readers see a Recap box next to a post’s word count and read time. Click Start to get a short summary of the post. It uses the same Recap action and allowance as the editor. You can translate the summary from the result window.
Dictation
Section titled “Dictation”You can also speak instead of type. In the editor toolbar, click the microphone (Dictate) on the web, or tap the dictation button with the AI badge on mobile. Record up to 5 minutes, then stop to transcribe it into your post.
Dictation is charged by length: 15 Points per 30 seconds of audio, rounded up. The dialog shows the running cost while you record. Ecency Pro members get one free 30-second block per day.
AI usage disclosure
Section titled “AI usage disclosure”You can tell readers how AI helped with a post. On the web, open the ⋮ menu in the editor’s top bar and choose AI usage, then tick AI writing assistance and/or AI-generated media. Ecency ticks these for you when you apply an AI Assist edit or insert an AI image. You can change them before publishing. Disclosure is optional.
Posts with a disclosure show a small badge, AI usage disclosed by author. The disclosure is saved in a shared format, so other Hive apps can show it too.
