SideNote Pro workflows for marketers and writers

Edit where you are already writing

Selected-text actions work in any Windows application: your CMS, your email client, a document, a social composer. Select, press a shortcut, get the rewrite. No copying into a chat window and back.

Start with Rewrite bound to a key. Then build custom actions for the edits you make constantly:

• *Cut this by 40 percent without losing any substantive point: {{selection}}*
• *Rewrite this in a more direct, less hedged voice: {{selection}}*
• *Rewrite this for a reader who has never heard of us: {{selection}}*
• *Give me five alternative openings for this paragraph: {{selection}}*
• *Rewrite this as one sentence: {{selection}}*

The last one is a surprisingly good editing tool even when you do not use the output. If a paragraph cannot survive being compressed to one sentence, it was probably making more than one point.

Generate variants cheaply

Headlines, subject lines, calls to action and opening sentences all benefit from having ten options to reject. This is a breadth task, not a depth task, which means the fast cheap model is the right tool and higher reasoning buys nothing.

• *Ten alternative headings for this section. Vary the angle, not just the wording.*
• *Five subject lines: two direct, two curiosity-driven, one plain.*
• *Rewrite this call to action five ways, each with a different implied urgency.*

Asking for variety along a named axis produces genuinely different options. Asking for *ten headlines* produces ten paraphrases of the same headline.

Review your own work

This is where a model earns more than it does drafting. You cannot read your own writing cold; a model can.

• *What is the central claim here, and is it actually supported?*
• *Which sentence is doing the least work?*
• *Where does this hedge when it should commit?*
• *A skeptical reader stops reading at which paragraph, and why?*
• *Does this contradict itself anywhere?*
• *What would this piece look like if it were 30 percent shorter?*

The skeptical-reader question is the most useful one on this page. It surfaces the paragraph where you lost the reader, which is rarely the paragraph you were worried about.

Screenshots for visual work

• Capture a landing page and ask *what does this page think it is asking the visitor to do, and is that obvious in the first screen?*
• Capture a competitor's page and ask *what claims are made here, and which are supported?*
• Capture an analytics view and ask what to check before trusting a trend.
• Capture a layout and ask which element the eye lands on first.

Region capture is usually better than a full screen: a tighter crop keeps the model's attention on the thing you are asking about.

Keep it fast and cheap

Writing work is high-volume and mostly fluency-shaped, which makes it the clearest case for a fast model at Provider default reasoning. Running fifty rewrites a day through a top-tier reasoning model is the most common way to spend a lot on BYOK for no gain.

It is also the work best suited to a local model if volume is high or the material is unreleased. Small local models are strikingly competent at rewriting, and the per-request cost is zero.
