AI in the editor

With an AI key set up, text fields in the editor get an AI writing button, and image fields can write alt text and generate new images. You stay in control: the AI changes only the field you pick, and every change can be undone.

Before you start

An administrator sets up AI in Uncoder → AI & MCP → AI writing:

• AI writing in the editor needs an Anthropic API key. See AI writing.
• AI images needs a key for an OpenAI-compatible image service. See AI images.

Without a key, the AI buttons do not appear in the editor.

Rewrite text

1. Open the AI menu

   Select an element and go to its Content tab. Click the sparkles icon (AI writing) next to a text field, for example a heading's Title or a text block's Content.

2. Choose what to do

   • Improve writing, Make shorter, Make longer or Fix spelling & grammar.
   • A Tone: professional, friendly, confident, simple or persuasive.
   • Translate to…: type a language, for example Spanish, and press Enter.
   • Or tell it what to change…: type your own instruction, for example mention our free first visit.

3. Check the result

   The new text replaces the old one in the field and on the canvas. The editor confirms Text updated. Not happy? Press Ctrl+Z (⌘+Z on a Mac) to get the old text back.

The menu reminds you: Sends this field’s text to Anthropic. Check the result: AI can make mistakes. The button is not shown on technical fields such as links, CSS classes or code, or on fields that show dynamic data.

A field can hold up to 12,000 characters for the AI tools. If many requests are sent in a short time, the editor asks you to wait a few minutes.

Write alt text for an image

On an image field that uses a picture from the Media Library, click Write alt text with AI. The AI looks at the image, writes a short description, saves it on the image in the Media Library and fills it into the field. If the image looks purely decorative, it leaves the alt text empty and tells you so.

This works for JPEG, PNG, GIF and WebP images up to 4 MB.

Generate an image

1. Open the dialog

   On an image field, click Generate with AI.

2. Describe the image

   Under Describe the image, write what you want to see, for example A bright, modern kitchen with oak cabinets, soft morning light, photo. Pick the shape with the three buttons below the description: Landscape (the default), Square or Portrait.

3. Generate

   Click Generate (or press Ctrl+Enter). Creating the image can take up to a minute. Not quite right? Change the description and click Generate again.

4. Use it

   Click Use this image. Every generated image is saved to your Media Library.

The description is also used as the image's alt text, so check it and write a proper description afterwards (or use Write alt text with AI).
