[oXygen-user] [ANN] Boost your productivity with the new Oxygen AI Positron Assistant plugin!

[Alin Belu]

Hello everyone,

In the recent months, AI technology reached a point where it became 
useful in many real life scenarios. However, the AI generated content is 
not 100% accurate, which makes this technology difficult to deploy 
directly to end users that expect to only receive correct information. 
On the other hand, users who understand that AI-generated content is 
only a starting point, a hint, or a suggestion, and that they are in 
control of the final form, will experience an increase in productivity 
because the AI generated content will speed up many of their tasks.

The new *Oxygen AI Positron Assistant* plugin provides the bridge 
between AI and Oxygen users, helping them access AI-enabled tools to 
speed up content creation.

The plugin contributes helper actions that can be used to *generate 
content*:
  * You can start typing a phrase and use the *Continue writing* action 
to get a suggestion for continuing the phrase.
  * You can write instructions for content that you want to be generated 
and use the powerful and flexible *Follow instructions* action to add 
the generated content in the document.

A group of *translation actions* will try to preserve the XML markup 
structure while translating the content to *French*, *German*, 
*Japanese*, or *English*.

To obtain *overview* information, you can use an action to *summarize* 
the selected content or to get *readability* suggestions.

*DITA Topic Tools* actions allow you to perform DITA-aware tasks, such as:
  * Automatically create the *short description* for a topic, 
summarizing its content.
  * Generate *index terms* in the prolog section of a topic by analyzing 
the topic content and extracting relevant terms.
  * Turn a phrase that enumerates some options into a list with the 
*Itemize* action.
  * Flatten a list into content that enumerates the options from the 
list with the *Join Items* action.
  * *Generate a new DITA topic* from a title or a short description by 
expanding the content.
  * Replace content with a version that*improves its readability*.

The Oxygen AI Positron Assistant plugin contributes its actions to the 
main menu, contextual menu, and in the *AI Positron Assistant* view. 
When invoking an action, you can monitor its progress and see the 
results in the *AI Positron Activity* view.

To enable the AI features, you need to connect the plugin to the *Oxygen 
AI Positron* service platform that now uses the Open AI API to access 
models like Chat GPT, GPT-4, etc. The initial release of the Oxygen AI 
Positron Assistant plugin is currently in an experimental phase, 
enabling users to perform up to 250 actions per month, but we expect to 
provide subscription options in the near future. We anticipate releasing 
new features and updates often, so please share your feedback about the 
current version and stay tuned for exciting new versions of this plugin.

For additional information on the *Oxygen AI Positron Assistant* plugin, 
including the installation instructions, you can check out the following
