# Use a suggested goal

Let Brev's AI Goal Coach draft a goal while you fill in the new goal dialog.

When you create a goal, Brev drafts one suggestion from what you've typed. Use it as a starting point.

**Before you start:** the **AI Goal Coach** setting is on by default in [Settings → AI & agents → Capabilities](https://help.brev.io/settings-product/#brev-ai). Suggestions need AI credits in your workspace.

## Use the suggestion {#steps}

1. Open the new goal dialog and start typing.
2. When the dashed chip with a sparkle appears in the footer, click it. If you see "Too many AI suggestions. Try again later.", wait and use the form as usual.
3. Click the suggestion card to copy its title and description into the form. For a Metric, it fills the metric fields. To close the card without changing the form, click **Cancel**.
4. Edit anything, then click the create button.

>
> The form shows the suggested text. Your Parent, owner and time period stay as they were.

The suggestion refreshes a couple of seconds after you stop typing.
