Sometimes the AI's first draft is close but not quite right — too long, missing differentials, wrong formatting. Instead of retyping, select the text and have Whippet rewrite it.
How to use it
Open a consult and click into the note you want to change — each note has its own tab, named after its template.
Select the text to change, anything from a phrase to a few paragraphs.
In the small toolbar that pops up above the selection, click Rewrite ▾ and pick a rewrite from the menu.
The rewrite streams into a preview box below your original. When it finishes, choose Accept (replace your text with the rewrite), Discard (keep the original untouched), or Regenerate (run the same rewrite again for a different result).
Click Cancel while it's still streaming to stop early — your original stays as-is.
Custom rewrite
The most flexible option: a dialog where you describe the change in your own words. Type your instruction, or click Dictate to speak it; dictated text can be edited before submitting.
Below the text box, one-click suggestion chips cover common requests — click several to combine them:
Remove not mentioned / not examined — strips the filler lines the AI adds when something wasn't discussed.
Add differentials
Make more formal — tightens the clinical register.
Expand abbreviations — spells out shorthand (e.g. "BCS" → "Body Condition Score").
Fix formatting — cleans up heading levels, list consistency, spacing.
Convert to bullet points
Convert to prose
A toggle at the top of the dialog sets the scope: Selection (default) rewrites only the highlighted text; Entire note is useful for whole-note changes like "fix formatting everywhere".
Make succinct
A one-click rewrite that tightens the selection while preserving every clinical fact and the formatting — bullet lists stay bullet lists, headings stay headings.
Undo and saving
If you accept a rewrite and change your mind, Ctrl/Cmd+Z restores the original in one step; discarding or cancelling leaves no trace in your undo history. Nothing is saved until you click Save on the note — Accept only stages the new text in the editor.
If something goes wrong
Rewrite button doesn't appear. Your selection is under 3 words or over about 8,000 characters (roughly 2 pages); adjust it and the button comes back. Single-word edits are better suited to the Replace button next to Rewrite.
"Rewrite failed" toast. Usually a network blip or expired session. Try again; if it persists, refresh the page.
Rewrite stops partway. Click Discard to restore the original, then try again.
Result isn't what you wanted. Click Regenerate for a different version, or Discard and try a different prompt.
What this doesn't do (yet)
Rewrite letters — this works in the notes editor only. Letters and letterhead will get the same feature in a later release.
