00:00:06This video provides an introducton  and details of how to use the Oxygen  
00:00:10AI Positron Assistant add-on. It provides a powerful tool to  
00:00:15help writers use AI-generated content. To install the add-on, I'll go to Help->  
00:00:21Install new addons. I'll type positron in  
00:00:25the filter box to narrow the list. Notice the 2 different iterations and you can  
00:00:30only have one or the other installed at once. Note that the Enterprise iteration is for  
00:00:36those who want to connect to their  own OpenAI or MS Azure account.  
00:00:41In this case, I'll select the regular add-on. And  I'll proceed through the installation wizard.  
00:00:54After restarting, the add-on contributes  an AI Positron Assistant side view that  
00:00:59contains a variety of AI-powered actions. When the chat area is empty, the actions are  
00:01:05shown as buttons directly in the view. They can also be found at all times  
00:01:10in the Actions drop-down list. Some of them have a settings icon to  
00:01:15configure options for the particular action. This action instructs the AI to generate a  
00:01:21short description for the current topic. You can see the response from the AI server  
00:01:27in the Chat area and actions are available  under each response depending on the action,  
00:01:33for instance, you could preview the  response, or copy it to the clipboard,  
00:01:38or "insert" to add the AI-generated  short description in the document.  
00:01:45Next, we'll intentionally create  some grammar problems ...  
00:01:49and select the paragraph ...  
00:01:57and then we  can use the "Correct Grammar" action.
00:02:02This time we'll click "preview" ... and it opens  a file comparison where you can clearly see the  
00:02:07changes that the AI suggested ... and if you agree with the changes,  
00:02:12you can apply them. Next we'll select a paragraph ... and  
00:02:18choose the "Improve Readability" action.
00:02:28You can use the box at the bottom of the view  
00:02:32to refine the response by sending a message  to the AI platform and it will generate a  
00:02:35new response based on your message. You can click this icon that appears to  
00:02:41the right of the response to edit your  message or send further instructions.  
00:02:49We'll click replace to insert  the generated response.  
00:02:53The toolbar also includes a clear chat  button and a history drop-down offers a  
00:02:58way to quickly select a recently used action. For complex instructions that the AI may not be  
00:03:04able to accurately complete without further  assistance, you can click the Record Examples  
00:03:09button in the Actions drop-down. You can provide  a set of instructions for the AI to follow.  
00:03:16and after clicking the "Start Recording" button at  the bottom of the dialog box, you can then execute  
00:03:21a series of actions in the editing area that  will serve as a collection of examples to help  
00:03:26the AI process the complex instructions. For example, in our case, we're showing  
00:03:32the AI how to convert text that looks  like menu items into a menu cascade,  
00:03:32which requires consecutive uicontrol elements  that are wrapped in a menucascade element.  
00:03:51Then, after clicking the "Stop Recording" button,  you have the ability to save the final result  
00:03:56either as a favorite chat prompt ... or as a custom Positron action.  
00:04:01After giving it a name, a description,  and configuring the action, you would  
00:04:06click "Save Instructions"... ... and it creates a JSON file  
00:04:09that defines the action and that action  is now available in the "Other" section.  
00:04:15To test it, we'll select content that  contains text structure that we want to convert
00:04:24and click the new custom  action,
00:04:29and we'll choose Replace
00:04:32and you can see that it converted it to the  complex structure that we recorded.  
00:04:38If you save the recorded instruction as a favorite  prompt, it will be available in this drop-down  menu at the bottom of the view.
00:04:45The add-on also contributes an AI  
00:04:47Refactoring action that can be used  to refactor multiple files at once.
00:04:52In either the DITA Maps Manager or the  Project view, you can select multiple files,  
00:04:57right-click, go to Refactoring, and  select AI Positron Refactoring. 
00:05:04In the resulting dialog box, you  would choose the AI action.  
00:05:08In my case, I'll choose to generate a short  description. I'll click Preview ...
00:05:15 and it  opens another dialog box where you can preview  the proposed changes for each selected file.  
00:05:21I'll click Update to process the operation. And I'll open of the files to show you  
00:05:27that a short description was inserted.
