What the text selection popup is
When you highlight text on any Brand Beat page — inside a field like your positioning statement, a content pillar description, or your voice descriptors — a small popup appears with four action buttons. Click one and Beat processes just that selection, returning a proposed change for you to accept or dismiss. This is different from the chat panel: the text selection popup is fast and scoped to a specific piece of text. No conversation required.The four actions
| Action | What it does | Best used for |
|---|---|---|
| Sharpen | Makes the language tighter and more specific, cuts filler words | Positioning statements that feel vague or too long |
| Simplify | Clears out jargon and complexity, makes the meaning easier to grasp | Value propositions heavy with buzzwords |
| Rewrite | Generates a fresh take on the same idea with different phrasing | When the current version doesn’t feel right but you’re not sure why |
| Fix tone | Rewrites the selection to better match your voice descriptors | Voice or tone text that sounds generic or off-brand |
How to use it
Navigate to a Brand Beat tab
Go to
/app/brand and open any tab — Identity & Voice, Pillars & Content, Audience, etc.Select text in a field
Click and drag to highlight the text you want to refine. You can select a single sentence or an entire paragraph.
Click an action
The popup appears above your selection with the four action buttons. Click whichever action fits your goal.
Where it works
The text selection popup is active on Brand Beat pages:- Identity & Voice fields (positioning, tagline, value proposition, voice descriptors, tone guidelines)
- Pillars & Content fields (pillar names, descriptions, editorial guidelines)
- Audience fields (ICP description, pain points, goals)
Use cases by field type
Positioning statement — Sharpen is most useful here. Positioning statements tend to get wordy. Sharpen cuts it down to what actually matters. Voice descriptors — Try Fix tone if your descriptors feel generic (“professional,” “approachable”). Beat will translate those into more specific, characteristic phrases. Value proposition — Simplify works well if you’ve written something packed with industry terms. Beat will find the plain-English version without losing the meaning. Content pillar descriptions — Rewrite helps when a pillar description is technically accurate but doesn’t feel right. Sometimes you need Beat to take a fresh angle at the same idea.What happens after you click an action
Beat opens a proposed change card showing:- The original text (left / top)
- Beat’s suggested revision (right / bottom)
