Smart Edit (AI editing)
Smart Edit lets you change an artifact by describing what you want instead of doing it by hand. Tell the AI the change in plain language and it regenerates the artifact for you. It is the fastest way to iterate when you know the result you want but not the exact steps to get there.
Open Smart Edit
Smart Edit lives inside the editor for any artifact you've generated.
- Open an artifact from Artifacts (or generate one from chat).
- In the editor toolbar, select the lightbulb icon to enter Smart Edit mode.
- Describe the change you want, then run it. The AI regenerates the artifact and saves the result as a new Snapshot so you can compare versions and roll back.
Each Smart Edit costs credits. You'll see the cost before you run, and you can top up anytime with Add Credits.
How Smart Edit works per artifact type
Smart Edit behaves a little differently depending on what you're editing.
Images and Audio use an operation picker. Instead of one open-ended prompt, you choose from categories of operations and then describe the specifics. The picker keeps each edit focused and gives you the right controls for the medium, like targeting a part of an image or a section of a track.
3D, Documents, and Apps produce a new AI snapshot. You describe the change in plain language and the AI regenerates the whole artifact as a fresh Snapshot. For example, you can ask a Document to be rewritten in a different tone, ask a 3D model to be restyled, or ask an App to behave differently.
Painting a region (Images)
Some image operations work on a specific area rather than the whole picture. When an operation needs a target, you'll be asked to paint the region first.
- Select the operation that needs a region.
- Paint over the part of the image you want the AI to change.
- Describe the change and run it.
This tells the AI exactly where to work, so the rest of your image stays untouched.
"Soon" operations
Some operations appear with a Soon label. These are planned for that artifact type but not yet available to run. You can see them in the picker so you know what's coming, but you can't select them until they're live. Everything without a Soon label is ready to use now.
Smart Edit vs Direct Edit
MotherFluxer gives you two ways to change an artifact, and you can switch between them anytime.
- Smart Edit (lightbulb): describe a change in plain language and let the AI regenerate the artifact. Best for big or open-ended changes, or when you're not sure how to make the change yourself. Uses credits.
- Direct Edit: hands-on, no AI. You make precise changes yourself with the editor's tools. Best when you know exactly what you want to adjust and want full control.
Use Smart Edit to explore and make broad changes fast, then switch to Direct Edit for fine-tuning. Every result is saved as a Snapshot, so you can move between versions freely.
