Your first rewrite
Four quick tries that cover almost everything Veda does. Open any chat or email app and follow along.
On this page
Open an app you write in every day — Slack, Teams, WhatsApp, Gmail, anything. The key below is the default: right ⌥ Option on a Mac, Right Ctrl on Windows.
1. Clean up a message
Type something quickly, the way you would when you're in a hurry:
hey can u send me the report by tmrw, need it for the client call
Now tap the key — press and release it on its own, quickly. You'll hear a soft tick, a sparkle appears by your cursor while Veda writes, and then the text is replaced:
Hey, can you send me the report by tomorrow? I need it for the client call.
Your wording stays; only the mistakes go. If you change your mind while it's writing, click the sparkle or press Esc — your text isn't touched until the result is ready.
2. Draft a reply
Open a conversation where someone has asked you something, click into the empty message box, and tap the key. Veda reads the conversation on screen and writes your next message — a short, natural answer to the last thing they said. Edit it if you like, then send it as usual.
3. Rewrite just part of it
Type a sentence, select a few words in the middle, and tap the key. Only the selection changes; everything around it stays exactly as you wrote it.
4. Tell it what to change
With some text in the box, hold the key for about half a second, then let go. A small bar opens above your text:
- Click Shorten, Friendly, Formal, Fix grammar or Clearer — or press ⌘1–⌘5 (Ctrl+1–5 on Windows).
- Or type an instruction, like
make it shorter and end with a question, and press Enter.
The result shows in the bar first. When you like it, press Enter again (or click Use it) and it replaces your text. Esc closes the bar and leaves everything as it was.
You're set
That's the whole idea: one key, and it does the sensible thing. From here:
- Dictate instead of typing — double-tap the key.
- Make your own presets for the edits you make all the time.
- Tell it about you — role, tone, languages and your own rules.
