How It Works

1. Highlight any portion of text inside a Storytell response or Artifact.

2. A floating Response Menu appears directly above your selection.

3. Choose from the available actions to instantly generate improved, clarified, or reformatted versions of the text.

4. All actions (except Copy text) create a new AI-powered response and consume credits.
