Refining a drafted answer
Ask the AI to revise any drafted section — tone, length, emphasis, or new facts — without losing your original.
Updated July 26, 2026
Every drafted answer can be refined: tell the AI what you’d change, and it rewrites that one section — grounded in your knowledge base — while the rest of your draft stays untouched.
Refine a section
- Find the section you want to improve and click Refine.
- Describe the change the way you’d brief a colleague: “tighten this to 150 words,” “lead with the youth-employment outcome,” “make the tone less formal.”
- Submit. The section shows Refining draft while the AI works — the box stays right where it is, so you can watch it finish without losing your place on the page.
- The refined text replaces the draft in place. Your refinement request is saved above the section, so you have a record of what you asked for.
Compare and undo
- Click a past refinement request to see a before / after comparison of exactly what changed.
- Not better? Undo restores the previous version — PowerGrant keeps the last few versions of every section.
Refining vs. commenting
Refine asks the AI to rewrite. Comment leaves a note for your teammates (and yourself) without changing the text — useful for “board should review this number” or “waiting on Q3 data.” Comments never trigger a rewrite.
Tips for better refinements
- One instruction per refinement beats five at once.
- Name the fact you want featured — the AI pulls it from your knowledge base.
- If the AI keeps missing a number, it’s usually because that number isn’t in your knowledge base yet. Add it there and refine again.
