#AI Assist

AI Assist is Hygraph's intelligent in-editor content assistant. It helps editors generate, improve, and translate content directly within the content entry experience, without needing to leave the editor or rely on developer support.

Instead of switching between tools or writing content from scratch, editors describe what they need and AI Assist produces schema-aware suggestions that fit the field type, locale, and surrounding content. All suggestions are reviewed and applied by the editor, so teams stay in full control of what goes into their content.

#Key benefits

  • No setup required: AI Assist is available out of the box for supported text fields. Editors can start using it immediately without any configuration.
  • Schema-aware suggestions: AI Assist understands the field type and entry context it is working in, so suggestions align with your content model and editorial structure.
  • Full editorial control: AI Assist suggestions are always presented for review before being applied. Editors can edit, accept, or discard any output.
  • Multi-field efficiency: Apply AI tasks across up to five fields at once, eliminating repetitive edits across an entry.
  • Localization support: Translate content between locales directly in the editor, preserving tone, structure, and meaning.
  • Permission-aware: AI Assist respects existing roles, permissions, and content visibility rules, so it operates within your governance boundaries.

#What you can do

#Create content

The Create content task generates new content for empty fields based on a short prompt. AI Assist analyzes the field type and entry context to produce suggestions that fit your content model. This is useful when starting a new entry or filling multiple empty fields at once.

#Improve existing content

The Improve existing content task refines existing text for clarity, tone, and readability. AI Assist analyzes the selected fields and suggests enhanced versions while preserving the original meaning. This is useful when reviewing drafts or polishing content before publishing.

#Translate content

The Translate content task converts existing text into one or more target locales while preserving tone, structure, and meaning. AI Assist recognizes your project's locale setup and accepts optional prompt guidance for regional style. This is useful for maintaining consistent messaging across multiple languages without leaving the editor.

#Supported field types

AI Assist works with single line text, multi line text, markdown, and rich text fields. Other field types are not shown in the field selector.

#Permissions

AI Assist is available to all users with editor access on the project. No additional role configuration is required.

#Model information

Hygraph uses the latest Claude models to power AI Assist tasks, including content creation, improvement, and translation. These models are selected for their quality, accuracy, and efficiency.

Model versions may be updated over time as newer releases become available. Updates are applied automatically to maintain optimal results.

#Example use cases

Content creation:

  • Generate a headline, meta description, and introductory paragraph for a new blog post entry in a single AI Assist run.
  • Populate multiple empty fields at once when creating product listings, reducing manual drafting time.

Content improvement:

  • Polish a draft article for clarity and readability before it moves to editorial review.
  • Standardize tone across multiple fields in an entry to ensure consistent brand voice before publishing.

Translation:

  • Translate a product description from English into French and German directly in the editor after the source locale is approved.
  • Apply regional style guidance, such as adapting a campaign message for British English spelling and tone conventions.

#Safety guardrails

AI Assist is designed to support editors, not act independently. The following guardrails ensure editorial control is always maintained:

  • All suggestions are shown in a review panel before being applied. Nothing is written to an entry without editor approval.
  • AI Assist only operates on fields you explicitly select for a given task.
  • AI Assist cannot publish entries, modify schema, or perform any action outside the content editing panel.
  • Applied changes are saved like any manual edit and can be further modified or reverted.
