With the Writing Assist tab open, select some text on the webpage, like this paragraph:
Automation refers to the use of technology, specifically software, machines, AI, and other automated systems, to perform tasks that would usually require human intervention. This encompasses a broad range of applications, from manufacturing processes, where robots do jobs previously done by human labor, to software products that can automatically schedule appointments or respond to emails. Automation offers multiple benefits such as increased efficiency, productivity, accuracy, and cost savings, as machines can work faster and make fewer mistakes than humans. However, it also raises important questions about the future of work and employment, as more tasks become automated and the demand for human labor potentially decreases.
You'll see the text populate at the top of the Sidebar.
