You need a paid plan to use Plus AI. If you're a new customer to Plus, you can start a 7 day free trial. You'll need to add a credit card, but you can [cancel](/plus-ai/plans-and-billing.md#manage-or-cancel-my-subscription) at any time during your trial.

Learn more about our plans [here](https://www.plusdocs.com/pricing), and more about [billing](/plus-ai/plans-and-billing.md) here.

## Generate text

In the **Generate** tab, enter a prompt that describes what you want Plus AI to write, or use or start from one of our presets.

Click Generate and wait for Plus AI to write your content. This can take up to a minute or so for more complex prompts.

## Languages

Use the dropdown to select the language you want Plus AI to write in. Do not put this into your prompt directly.

## Generate more content

You can use generate content as many times as you want. New text will be inserted at the end of your existing document.

You can also ask Plus AI to generate multiple variants of something in one go, which is especially useful for short-form content like ad copy or social media posts.&#x20;

**Here's an example prompt:**

<mark style="background-color:yellow;">`Write three variants for a Facebook Ad for a subscription peanut butter company. Keep the headlines concise and make sure they appeal to busy moms.`</mark>

## Undo and redo

You can use the native undo and redo actions in Google Docs on any Plus AI insertions or edits.

To undo, click the button in the Google Docs toolbar or press ⌘Z  (or Ctrl + Z) on your keyboard.

## Text formatting

While Plus AI can do basic formatting (paragraph breaks, headers, bullets and lists), it cannot do more advanced formatting, like changing colors or fonts, or add media like images or videos.
