The one that speaks first.

An agent waits to be asked. An assistant watches, and tells you when something is off — which means you never have to remember to check, and also that it will interrupt you. Both of those matter, and which one matters more depends entirely on what you are doing.

How it knows when to look

It waits for you to stop. A few seconds of no typing and it reads what is there — because the pause is the only reliable signal that a thought has finished. Checking mid-sentence would mean flagging half-written clauses as errors, which is how live checkers become something people switch off in the first ten minutes.

If you would rather not wait, Analyze runs a pass immediately. Same checks, no timer — useful at the end of a paragraph when you know you are done and do not want to sit still to prove it.

What it catches

Grammar and spelling: The mechanical layer. Agreement, tense, punctuation, the words that look right and are not.
Clarity: Sentences that parse but take two readings. Usually a buried subject or three clauses doing one job.
Tone drift: A casual sentence in a formal paragraph, or the reverse. Easy to miss in your own writing because you were consistent in your head.
Wordiness: Phrases that are longer than the idea they carry. "At this point in time" and its relatives.

What it cannot

Whether the argument holds: It reads the sentence, not the reasoning. A beautifully written paragraph making no sense will pass cleanly.
Whether it is true: No fact-checking. A confidently wrong sentence is grammatically identical to a right one.
Whether it belongs here: Structure is beyond it. A paragraph in the wrong section is a perfectly good paragraph as far as the assistant is concerned.
What your reader will think: That is the agent’s job, and it is a different question entirely.

Turn it off while you are drafting

This is the advice we would give a friend, so it is the advice on the page. An always-on assistant is the wrong tool for a first draft.

Drafting and editing are different activities that happen to use the same keyboard. Drafting wants momentum and a certain amount of writing badly on purpose. Editing wants attention to the sentence in front of you. A suggestion appearing while you are mid-thought serves the second and costs you the first — and the first is the harder half.

So: off while the words are coming, on when you go back over them. It is one toggle, and using it that way is the difference between a tool that helps and one you end up resenting.

It suggests. You decide.

Nothing is applied automatically. Every suggestion sits there until you accept it, and if you ignore all of them the document is exactly as you wrote it.

That is deliberate rather than a limitation. Software that edits your sentences while you are not looking is software you have to proofread against, which is more work than writing it yourself. The trust and security page covers what happens to the text while it is being checked.

Where it works

On the dashboard, beside whatever you are writing. In the browser extension, inline, wherever you type on the web — and on ProMax the suggestion appears in the text field itself rather than in a panel beside it.

If what you want is the other thing — something to ask rather than something that offers — that is the AI agent, and it answers questions this will never think to raise.
