In AI Content Editing, instructions are the only control mechanism you have. There are no buttons like “rewrite” or “summarize”, no presets, and no review screen. What happens to the content depends entirely on the instruction you provide and the scope you apply it to.
Aimogen does not interpret intent beyond your instruction.
What an Instruction Means in AI Content Editing #
An instruction is a direct command that tells the AI how to transform existing content.
It can control:
- how the text is rewritten
- how much it is changed
- tone and style
- level of detail
- language
- structure
- what to keep or remove
The instruction is applied once, immediately, to the selected content.
Where Instructions Are Applied #
In AI Content Editing, instructions are used only when:
- editing content in Gutenberg
- editing content in the Classic Editor
They apply to:
- the selected text, or
- the entire content (if nothing is selected)
There is no global instruction memory and no reuse unless you manually copy the instruction.
No Presets, No Modes #
There are no internal modes such as:
- rewrite mode
- summarize mode
- translate mode
- paraphrase mode
All of these are achieved by how you phrase the instruction.
Examples:
- “Rewrite this in a more professional tone”
- “Summarize this into three short paragraphs”
- “Translate this into Spanish”
- “Paraphrase this to avoid repetition while keeping meaning”
Aimogen does not classify the instruction. It simply forwards it.
How Instructions Are Combined with Content #
For AI Content Editing, Aimogen sends:
- the selected content (or full content)
- your instruction
Nothing else is added automatically beyond minimal system context.
Your instruction is not rewritten, expanded, or corrected.
This means:
- vague instructions produce vague results
- conflicting instructions produce inconsistent output
Instruction Scope Is Critical #
The scope of the instruction depends entirely on what is selected:
- selected text → only that text is replaced
- no selection → the entire content is replaced
Aimogen does not protect unselected content when editing full content.
No Preview, No AI Undo #
Once the instruction is applied:
- the content is replaced immediately
- there is no preview
- there is no AI-level undo
The only way to revert is via WordPress revisions, if they are enabled.
Because of this, instructions should be written carefully and applied in small scopes when possible.
Writing Effective Editing Instructions #
Good editing instructions are:
- explicit
- focused on one transformation
- clear about what must be preserved
Instead of:
“Improve this”
Use:
“Rewrite this paragraph to be clearer and more concise, without changing its meaning.”
Avoid stacking multiple transformations in a single instruction unless necessary.
Model Sensitivity to Instructions #
Different models react differently to instructions.
For AI Content Editing:
- instruction-following models give the most predictable results
- highly creative models may drift or add content
If an instruction is not respected, the issue is usually model choice, not the editor.
What Instructions Cannot Do in Editing #
Instructions cannot:
- create previews
- preserve the original text
- guarantee factual correctness
- revert changes
- bypass WordPress behavior
They only control how the replacement text is generated.
Recommended Safe Workflow #
Because instructions apply immediately:
- ensure WordPress revisions are enabled
- save the post before editing
- edit small sections first
- verify results before continuing
- avoid full-content edits unless necessary
This keeps revisions usable if rollback is needed.
Summary #
In AI Content Editing, instructions are everything. There are no presets, no review step, and no undo inside Aimogen. The instruction you write is applied directly to the selected content, and any recovery depends entirely on WordPress revisions. Clear, focused instructions and careful scope selection are the difference between controlled editing and irreversible changes.
