Introducing AI Assist for Editors

Content teams face a familiar tension: the pressure to publish more, faster, across more channels and languages, all while maintaining quality, consistency, and brand voice.

The traditional solution has been to hire more writers, translators, and editors. But what if your content platform could amplify what each team member can accomplish, without compromising editorial control or governance?

We're thrilled to introduce AI Assist, Hygraph's intelligent built-in content editing assistant, now available in Early Access (see FAQs). AI Assist helps content editors generate, improve, and localize content seamlessly via simple prompting within the content entry experience, enabling teams to move faster while maintaining the standards that matter most.

This will empower editors with a powerful assistant that understands your content structure, respects governance rules, and fits naturally into existing workflows.

#What is AI Assist?

AI Assist is your intelligent content companion, built directly into Hygraph Studio. It's powered by the latest Claude models and designed to work with your content in a context-aware way, understanding which field you're editing, the locale, and the surrounding content to offer suggestions that align with your content model and project style.

Think of AI Assist as an embedded expert that knows your content structure and brand guidelines. It can draft headlines that fit your schema constraints, translate descriptions while preserving embedded content, or refine rich text for clarity, all within the familiar content editor interface.

AI Assist is schema-aware. It doesn't just generate text; it generates content that fits your models, respects your field types, and aligns with your editorial workflows. No additional setup required. No developer support needed. Just intelligent assistance when and where you need it.

#The content velocity challenge

Modern content operations are complex. Teams need to:

• Create compelling, on-brand content across multiple touchpoints
• Maintain consistency in tone and messaging as teams scale
• Localize content for global audiences without ballooning translation costs
• Polish drafts through multiple review cycles before publication
• Meet aggressive publishing deadlines while ensuring quality

As a result, content teams spend more time on repetitive tasks, such as drafting boilerplate, rewording for clarity, and coordinating translations, and less time on strategic, creative work that truly moves the business forward.

Publicly available generative AI writing tools don't solve this problem because they're disconnected from your content model. They don't understand your schema, they ignore your existing governance, and they force editors to context-switch between multiple tools. Every suggestion becomes a copy-paste operation, and quality control becomes a bottleneck.

#Three core capabilities, infinite applications

AI Assist focuses on the tasks that consume the most editorial time, giving you three powerful capabilities:

Create content

Generate content drafts for any supported field with a simple prompt. Whether you need compelling headlines, engaging descriptions, or structured rich text, AI Assist understands your field context and produces relevant suggestions that fit the tone and structure of your content.

Real-world scenarios:

• Quickly populate multiple fields when creating new product entries
• Draft social media descriptions based on longer blog content
• Generate meta descriptions optimized for your brand voice
• Create placeholder content that follows your style guidelines

AI Assist can generate content for up to five fields simultaneously, significantly reducing the time spent on initial content creation. You provide the direction with a prompt, choose the tone of voice, and let AI Assist handle the first draft.

Improve existing content

Refine existing text for clarity, tone, and readability with a single click. AI Assist analyzes your selected fields, understands the context, and suggests enhanced versions while preserving the original meaning and structure.

Real-world scenarios:

• Polish draft content before submitting for review
• Standardize tone across entries created by different team members
• Simplify complex technical language for broader audiences
• Fix grammar and improve flow without changing core messaging

The improvement feature displays inline diffs with clear accept/revert controls, allowing you to maintain complete editorial oversight. You're never forced to accept a suggestion; every change is optional and can be reversed.

Translate content

Automatically translate text into other locales while preserving tone, structure, and meaning. AI Assist recognizes your project's locale setup and helps streamline localization workflows, making it easy to maintain consistent messaging across multiple languages.

Real-world scenarios:

• Launch in new markets without waiting for translation agencies
• Maintain brand voice consistency across all language variants
• Keep localized content synchronized when source content updates
• Handle urgent localization needs for time-sensitive campaigns

AI Assist preserves your content structure, including embedded content, formatting, and markdown. You can translate multiple fields into a target locale simultaneously, with full context from your source content, to ensure accurate and culturally appropriate translations.

#Built for enterprise: Governance and control

AI is only valuable if you can trust it. That's why AI Assist is designed with enterprise governance at its core.

Permission-aware: AI Assist respects your existing roles and permissions. Only users with editing access can use AI Assist, and they can only apply suggestions to fields they're authorized to edit. Your content governance doesn't change—it's reinforced.

Always reviewable: Every AI Assist suggestion is presented for review before it's applied. Editors maintain full control over what changes are made to their content. You can accept, edit, or reject any suggestion. AI Assist helps you work faster, but you remain the decision-maker.

Schema-compliant: Because AI Assist understands your content models, it generates suggestions that align with your field types and constraints. If a field has a character limit, AI Assist respects it. If you're working with rich text, the suggestions maintain proper formatting. Your content integrity is preserved.

Tone governance: Configure tone controls at the project level to ensure AI-generated content aligns with your brand guidelines. Whether you need professional, casual, technical, or creative tones, you can set these as governance controls that apply across all AI Assist tasks.

Audit trail: AI-assisted edits are saved just like any manual update, flowing through your existing content workflows and version history. You have full traceability of what changed and when.

#The technical foundation

AI Assist is powered by integrated large language models from Anthropic's Claude family, selected for their quality, accuracy, and efficiency. We continuously test new models to improve performance and reliability, with updates applied automatically to maintain optimal results.

Supported Field Types:

• Single line text
• Multi line text
• Markdown
• Rich text

Maximum fields per task: You can process up to five fields simultaneously for any AI Assist task, enabling efficient bulk operations while maintaining review quality.

#The broader vision: AI-native content operations

AI Assist is the first step in Hygraph's vision for AI-native content operations. We're building a platform where intelligent assistance is woven throughout your workflow, not bolted on as an afterthought.

Coming soon

While AI Assist helps editors work faster today, we're also developing AI Agents for autonomous workflow automation, which handle translation, summarization, and SEO optimization as part of your publishing pipeline. Additionally, we are expanding our MCP Server capabilities to enable external AI integrations.

Together, these capabilities create a comprehensive AI layer that spans both human-driven editing (AI Assist) and autonomous automation (AI Agents, MCP Server), providing you with the flexibility to apply AI where it creates the most value.
