Word Add-in

The hermine.ai Word Add-in assists you with writing, editing, and formatting your documents. The AI sees your document's structure and can precisely insert and replace text, apply styles, create tables, and add images.

What the AI Sees

With each message, the AI automatically receives:

• Document outline: Headings of levels 1 to 3 as a structural overview (including localized styles such as "Überschrift 1")
• Beginning of the document: The first approx. 100 paragraphs with style information (bold, italic, colors, lists)
• Tables: Up to 10 tables with up to 20 rows of content each
• Cursor context: About 10 paragraphs before and after your current cursor position
• Current selection: The selected text (if any) and the document name

Note: The AI does not see the entire document at once. For long documents, it automatically fetches further content via search or reads specific paragraphs.

Typical Use Cases

Writing & Inserting Text

• "Write an introduction for a project report on renewable energy"
• "Add a new paragraph at the end that summarizes the results"
• "Create a bullet list with the 5 most important points"

Editing & Rephrasing

• "Replace all occurrences of 'customer' with 'client'"
• "Rephrase the selected paragraph in a more formal tone"
• "Shorten the selected text by half"

Formatting & Styles

• "Format the selection as Heading 2"
• "Make the selected text bold and red"
• "Create a numbered list from the following points"

Tables, Headers, and Footers

• "Create a table with 3 columns: Task, Owner, Deadline"
• "Insert a footer with the document title"
• "Add a page break and start a new chapter"

Inserting Images

The AI can download images from URLs or generate them itself and insert them directly into your document:

• "Insert the company logo from this URL: https://..."
• "Generate an image about sustainability and insert it"

How the AI Works in Word

1. Ask your question in the Type a message... field; for edits, it is best to select the text first
2. For larger requests (e.g. a whole document), the AI plans a task list and works chapter by chapter
3. Changes appear as labeled steps below the answer
4. Click Apply N changes to execute the steps (in YOLO mode this happens automatically)
5. After execution, the step shows the status Applied in Word

Tips

• Select text: Highlight a paragraph before asking the AI to edit it. The AI sees your selection.
• Use headings: A well-structured document with headings helps the AI understand the content better.
• Create documents step by step: When creating entire documents, the AI works chapter by chapter and shows progress via the task list.
