What you write never leaves it: there is no account, no cloud and no usage data. * Proofread and spell check: fix spelling, grammar and punctuation, with every change shown and one Undo per change. * Rewrite and paraphrase: change the tone to professional, polite, friendly, casual, concise and more. * Smart reply: three short replies to a message, or a full email reply from what you want to say. * Summarize, format as bullets, a table or an email, and translate. * Your own actions, in your own words. * Works in English, Hindi and Hinglish, and on a best-effort basis in many more languages. * Open it over any app with a shortcut, or use the window: paste, pick an action, copy. The AI model (about 3.4 GB) is downloaded once, from the setup window; after that Paraphrase works without an internet connection.
