What we want to do is move over to the Entries section over here on the left-hand side by clicking the Entries button or pressing E on your keyboard. Now I have an entry that I've been working on called Top Travel Destinations for 2024. If I select that to enter the entry, I have a couple different options here in terms of how I can use my Assistant to improve this entry. Let's say I wanted to update the title, and specifically I want to update it for SEO. As you hover over the Title section, you'll notice there's an AI Assistant icon. Go ahead and click it, and when you do, AI Assistant will load on the right-hand side. The section that we want to take a look at here is the Replace Field Content section, and you'll notice we have a couple different commands. The command I want to look at is Optimize Text for SEO. When you click that, AI Assistant will generate content that is now a more optimized version of the title, specifically for search engine optimization. You have a couple options. You can try again to generate a new result, or if you don't like the results, you can cancel out of it. But for our purposes, I'm going to go ahead and click Accept. So that's how you can modify existing content using AI Assistant, but you can also generate new content. If I scroll down, you'll notice there's a summary, which is empty. If I want to create a summary, I can do that, but specifically, I want to create a summary based upon the content that I have in this Content Text field. So again, in the Summary section, as I hover over it, I see the same AI Assistant icon. If I click it, and in this case, what I want to do is scroll down towards the bottom, and what I want to select in this area where we're going to generate based upon another field is Summary. So I'll click Summary, and then that panel expands to show me the different fields that I can use as a source for this summary. And in this case, you'll notice I have the Content Text field. So I'm going to select Content. When I do, AI Assistant will generate the content. Again, you can either accept it, you can try again to have AI Assistant regenerate it, but once you're happy with the results, you can click Accept. Finally, if we scroll down further, you'll notice that there's a section for some tags. I'll go ahead and hover over the Tag section to see the AI Assistant icon. When I click it again, what I want to do is generate content, and in this case, SEO tags. I want to generate it based upon that same Content Text field. So I'm going to go ahead and select that option. AI Assistant will generate tags based upon the content found within that text field. Again, I'll go ahead and click Accept. So you'll notice there's a lot of capability within the AI Assistant menu. Again, if you scroll up towards the top, if you click the AI Assistant button for Summary, you can change this text further by optimizing it for SEO, which we looked at earlier. We can change the tone to be more persuasive, straightforward, friendly, or professional. We can also change the length to make it longer or shorter, and in this case, you also have the option to translate to the current locale language. Remember, AI Assistant doesn't just work for creating new content, but it can also be used to modify existing content in the same way. Also, know once you install AI Assistant, it becomes available throughout the entire stack. But AI Assistant's capabilities aren't just limited to the options that we were looking at here. You can create your own custom actions, which we'll take a look at next. #### Subtitles (WebVTT) ```webvtt WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.000 Now, let's see AI Assistant in action. 2 00:00:06.000
