Text App’s Refine feature helps your team communicate faster, more clearly, and with greater confidence during customer conversations. Whether it’s polishing a message or finding the right tone, Refine works behind the scenes to make communication effortless.

What is Refine?

Refine is an AI-powered assistant built directly into the chat message box. It offers smart suggestions to improve clarity, correct grammar, or adjust tone—all with a single click. Instead of manually rewriting replies, agents can rely on AI to shape responses quickly and effectively.

How does it work?

Refine

You can use Refine before or after writing your message. The available options include:

  • Tone change: Adjusts the tone of your message to make it more polite or formal, depending on the context and customer expectations.

  • Expand: Adds details to your message to make it more informative or complete, especially helpful when a response feels too brief.

  • Rephrase: Offers an alternative way to say the same thing, useful when you want to improve the style or avoid repetition.

  • Correct grammar: Automatically fixes spelling, punctuation, and grammatical errors to ensure your message is professional and easy to read.
