Editing a doc

The full-page editor, the AI tools on any selection, and how to get the work out.

When Vamos writes something long, it opens as a doc in a full-page editor rather than as a wall of text in the chat.

​

It is a real editor. Headings, bold, italic, lists, quotes, code, highlights and links all work the way you expect. You can edit a table Vamos wrote, but not add a new one. Undo and redo are keyboard only: Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Shift+Z, or Cmd on a Mac. The word count shows a read duration alongside it, which is the number that matters for a script.

​

​

The AI tools

Select any part of the doc and a menu appears. That is where most of the value is, because it works on a passage rather than the whole thing.

Doc with two lines selected and the menu open: “Ask Vamos what to do...”, “Simplify”, “Humanize”, “Shorten”, “Expand”
  • Simplify brings the reading level down.

  • Humanize removes AI language, which is the one to reach for when a paragraph reads correct but dead.

  • Shorten and Expand do what they say.

​

There is also a free-form field. Ask for anything: make this sound like I am talking to one person, cut the setup and start at the point.

​

A result can replace the selection or be added below it, so you can keep both and choose. If it is not right yet, Regenerate it, or ask for changes before you use it.

​

​

Hooks

On a script, Generate hooks in the More actions menu produces variants of your opening in the doc, so you can compare them against the script rather than in isolation.

Script doc toolbar, the “More actions” menu open: Copy, Add to chat, Open original chat, “Generate hooks”

​

Reading level

A script shows its reading grade next to the word count, in four bands from Grade 1-6 to Post-graduate. For short-form video the lower two are almost always right. Simplify on a selection brings it down.

​

​

Revising through chat

Asking for a change in the chat that produced the doc creates a new version of it. Your edits are not overwritten silently.

​

​

Getting it out

Download offers four formats: text, Markdown, PDF and Word. Spreadsheet is a fifth that shows up only when the doc has a table.

​

Share has two states. Private means only you and your workspace. Anyone with the link means they can open it without an account, and you can switch it back at any time.

​

​

Saving it

A doc can be saved to a Collection, which is where to put the ones you will come back to. See Collections.

​

​

On the free plan

On Free, a long doc stops partway (a workspace's first three open in full), and reading the rest, downloading, copying, sharing or saving it needs the trial or a paid plan.
