Abstract
This paper discusses the need to move away from an instrumental view of text composition AI assistants under direct control of the user, towards a more agentic approach that is based on a value rationale. Based on an analysis of moral dimensions of AI assistance in computer mediated communication, the paper proposes basic guidelines for designing the agent's persona.
