AI Content Editor — Edit Smarter with Structured Blocks & Inline AI
Write and edit with 21+ content block types, a floating toolbar with built-in AI actions, and a live content analysis panel that tracks word count, character count, and reading time. This is an editorial workspace, not a chatbot wrapper.
How AI edits a document in Quill
Three different jobs, three different tools. Pick by how much of the piece you want to change.
Quick AI — six one-click actions on the selection: rewrite, simplify, expand, fix, professional, casual. The result replaces your selection in place and you accept or undo it.
Power Edit — type your own instruction instead of picking an action, with the rest of the article available as context. Preview the replacement before you accept it.
Ask Quill — describe the change you want and Quill proposes the individual edits, each with its reason, before anything is saved. Keep the ones that help and drop the rest. Proposing uses your plan's capacity; applying what you keep is free.
A proposal can still be wrong, and Ask Quill needs full edit access on the document. Reviewing what it suggests is the point — nothing is saved until you choose it.
An AI content editor is a block-based editorial workspace where AI actions operate inline on the document you're writing, instead of a separate chatbot you copy-paste from. Gixo's version gives you 21+ structured content block types (CTAs, FAQs, pros/cons, checklists, steps, recipes, exercises, definitions, key takeaways, custom HTML), a floating toolbar with 6 Quick AI actions (rewrite, simplify, expand, fix, professional, casual), and a live Content Analysis panel tracking word count, character count, and reading time. You compose structured content directly, then export as PDF, DOCX, HTML, Markdown, TXT, and JSON.
What can you do with Gixo's AI content editor?
Most AI writing tools give teams a text box and a prompt field. You drop in a brief, the tool generates a wall of text, and then you spend the next hour reformatting it into something a reader can actually use. The output lacks structure. There are no CTAs, no FAQ sections, no pros/cons tables, no checklists. You end up copying the text into a separate editor to add those elements manually, which defeats the purpose of using AI in the first place.
The Gixo Quill Editor works differently. It is a block-based editorial workspace where every piece of content is composed of discrete, structured blocks. You can insert a CTA block, a FAQ accordion, a pros/cons comparison, a step-by-step guide, a recipe card, an exercise block, a key takeaway callout, or a definition list directly into your document. Each block type has its own layout, and the editor renders a preview of the final output as you build. You are not formatting text after the fact. You are composing structured content from the start.
AI Writing Tools That Work Inside Your Editor, Not Beside It
The floating toolbar includes Quick AI actions: rewrite, simplify, expand, fix grammar, switch to professional tone, or switch to casual tone. Select any text, pick an action, and the AI modifies your selection in place. There is no separate chat window. There is no copy-paste loop between a generation tool and your document. The AI operates on the text you are editing, within the context of the surrounding content, and the result appears exactly where you need it.
The Content Analysis panel sits alongside the editor and updates in real time. It shows your current word count, character count, and estimated reading time. This matters for writers targeting specific content lengths for SEO, email newsletters, or social media repurposing. You know exactly where you stand as you write, not after you finish.
How does the AI content editor work?
Four steps from first draft to review-ready, structured content.
Open the Insert Block panel and choose from 21+ block types: CTAs, FAQs, checklists, steps, recipes, exercises, definitions, key takeaways, pros/cons, and more.
Use the floating toolbar for headings, lists, tables, links, alignment, and find/replace. Every formatting option is one click away.
Select any text and trigger Quick AI: rewrite, simplify, expand, fix, professional, or casual. The AI modifies your selection inline.
Check word count, character count, and reading time in the Content Analysis panel. Export as PDF, DOCX, HTML, Markdown, TXT, and JSON when ready.
What content block types does the editor support?
Each block type renders with its own structured layout. No manual formatting required.
Insert call-to-action buttons and key takeaway callouts as dedicated blocks. They render with proper styling and stand out from body text without manual CSS.
Add FAQ accordions and definition lists directly in the editor. Each FAQ block supports question-answer pairs. Definitions display with term and explanation formatting.
Build side-by-side pros and cons or multi-column comparisons. Readers scan these instantly, and they perform well for informational search queries.
Create actionable checklists and numbered step-by-step guides. Each step renders as a distinct item with its own title and description fields.
Specialized blocks for recipes (ingredients, instructions, times) and exercises (sets, reps, descriptions). Structured data that search engines can parse directly.
Drop in raw HTML when you need embeds, widgets, or custom layouts that go beyond the standard block types. Full control when you need it.

Built for people who write every day
Three types of professionals who benefit most from a block-based, AI-powered editing workspace.
What you get when you export to Word or PDF
Most AI writers hand back prose and a download link. Quill gives you a document you set up first, with a live preview that redraws as you change it.
Headings export as real Word heading styles, not bold paragraphs, so the navigation pane and any contents list work. Numbered and bulleted lists carry their own numbering rather than typed-in digits.
Pick a theme, write the cover, choose where page numbers sit, turn the contents list on or off, set line spacing and orientation. A live preview redraws the whole document as you change each control, so you know what you are getting before you download it.
Inline markers, a references section with retrieval dates and full URLs, or both — they are separate switches. Images keep their attribution and licence line as a caption, so the file you hand over carries its own provenance rather than losing it at the door.
Six formats — PDF, Word, HTML, Markdown, plain text and JSON. The cover page and the contents list, when you include them, open both the PDF and the Word file; in Word the headings are real heading styles, the lists carry Word's own numbering and the footer numbers the pages.
See the actual export, not a description of it
Rather than describe the export, here is one. Both files are the same Quill article, exported on 30 September 2026 through the ordinary Export Document screen, both A4 portrait. Nothing was tidied up afterwards, and the article is a sample written for this purpose rather than a customer document.
3.2 MB, 36 pages, A4 portrait. The document design exactly as it was set up: a cover page with the title and date, a contents list, and a numbered footer on every page.
2.8 MB, A4 portrait, opens in Word. The same article as an editable layout: the same cover page and contents list, real Word heading styles so the navigation pane works, list numbering Word owns rather than typed-in digits, a page-numbered footer, and 19 embedded images.
They are not identical, and that is the point. PDF preserves the document design exactly; DOCX arrives as an editable Word layout, where fonts, backgrounds and page breaks may differ. Both open with the cover page and the contents list. In the Word file that list is written out as text rather than a field Word refreshes, so if you restructure the document, retype it; and the file names its fonts rather than carrying them, so a computer without Inter shows another font in its place. Both files carry the same 19 images, byte for byte. Open both before deciding which one your workflow needs — Quill exports PDF, DOCX, HTML, Markdown, TXT, and JSON, and these two are the ones that carry a document design.
You publish blog posts, landing pages, and pillar articles on a regular schedule. You need FAQ sections for featured snippets, CTAs for conversion, and real-time word count tracking to hit your target lengths. The content editor gives you all of these as insertable blocks so you spend time on strategy instead of formatting. Quick AI actions let you tighten prose or adjust tone without switching to a separate tool.
You produce content for multiple clients, each with different formatting requirements. One client needs checklists and step guides. Another wants pros/cons tables and key takeaway boxes. Instead of rebuilding these structures in a basic text editor for every deliverable, you select the block type, fill in the content, and export. The editor handles layout consistency across every piece you produce.
You document features, write how-to guides, and create knowledge base articles. Your content is inherently structured: definitions, step sequences, callouts, and code snippets. The block-based editor mirrors how your readers consume documentation. You compose in structured blocks, and the output is immediately scannable without post-production formatting.
Format and rewrite without switching tabs
Rich Formatting Without Context Switching
The floating toolbar appears when you select text or position your cursor in a block. It includes controls for headings (H1 through H4), bold, italic, bulleted lists, numbered lists, tables, links, text alignment, and find/replace. Every formatting action is applied directly to the content block you are editing. There is no mode switching between "edit mode" and "preview mode." What you see in the editor is what the final output looks like.
Quick AI Actions Built into the Toolbar — Rewrite, Expand, and AI Tone Rewriter
Six AI actions sit inside the same toolbar you use for formatting. Select a paragraph and click Rewrite to get an improved version. Click Simplify to reduce complexity and reading level. Expand adds supporting detail to a thin section. Fix corrects grammar and punctuation. Professional and Casual adjust the tone of the selected text. Each action operates on your selection, preserves the surrounding content, and returns the result inline. You accept or reject with one click. Nothing here is a chat window you copy out of — the AI works on your text, inside your editor. When you want more than a preset action you can type your own instruction with Power Edit, or ask for a set of changes across the whole piece with Ask Quill and keep only the ones that help.
