When it is used

Use when a draft reads stiff, repetitive or obviously machine-written and needs to sound natural without changing what it says. Do not use for checking text for plagiarism or detection evasion. Related topics: writing, communication.

What it will ask you for

• Original text (longer free text)
• Where it will appear (free text, e.g. "blog post or customer email")
• Voice (choose one: Warm, Direct, Professional, Playful)
• Facts that must not change (longer free text)
• Phrases to avoid (longer free text)
• Rewrite strength (choose one: Light polish, Moderate, Full rewrite)

How it works

1. Mark the specific mechanical habits in the original, such as stock openers, uniform sentence length and empty summaries.
2. Rewrite to the chosen strength, opening with the point and varying sentence length.
3. Replace abstract phrasing with plain verbs and one concrete detail where the original had several vague claims.
4. Compare against the facts list and restore any name, number or claim that changed.
5. Return the text with a brief change list and flag any sentence that could not be improved without invented detail.

What you get

The rewritten text in the chosen voice, followed by a short bullet list of the main changes and any sentences flagged as needing real detail.

What it watches out for

• Adding invented anecdotes or specifics to sound human, which puts false claims in the text.
• Swapping words for thesaurus synonyms while the sentence rhythm stays identical, so it still reads robotic.
• Over-casualising a professional piece until it no longer suits its reader.
