3. Choose an action: Rewrite, Shorten, Fix Grammar, or Change Tone
4. Click “Generate variations” and pick your favourite
5. Apply it to the block with one click — or undo instantly
Actions included:
* Rewrite — Makes copy clearer, more engaging, and more persuasive
* Shorten — Cuts copy down while keeping the core message

Features:

* Inline toolbar button for quick access
* One-click apply with undo support
* Clean, minimal UI that does not clutter the editor
* Your API key is stored securely in WordPress options — never exposed to the browser
