## Step-by-Step Process

### Phase 1: Initial Setup
1. **Enable Feature** → Toggle switch turns blue
2. **Start Writing** → Type 5+ words
3. **Wait** → 5-second delay for AI processing

### Phase 2: First Suggestion
4. **Receive Suggestion** → Card appears with:
   - Suggested text
   - Confidence score
   - Source links
   - Accept/Dismiss buttons

### Phase 3: Ongoing Usage
5. **Accept or Dismiss** → Choose your action
6. **Continue Writing** → Manual trigger for more suggestions
7. **Repeat** → Use "Continue writing" as needed

## Key Points

### Automatic vs Manual
- **Automatic:** Only the first suggestion (after 5 words + 5 seconds)
- **Manual:** All subsequent suggestions (click "Continue writing")

### Cost Control
- Prevents excessive API calls
- Gives you control over when to get suggestions
- Respects daily limits (50 suggestions/day)

### User Experience
- Suggestions appear near your cursor
- Clear accept/dismiss options
- Source verification available
- Professional LinkedIn-style content

│ • "Service not available"│
