Make AI-assisted writing read like you wrote it

Using ChatGPT or Claude to draft is normal now. Publishing the draft untouched is the problem: readers increasingly recognize patterns like the em dashes, the “it's not just X, it's Y” constructions, the words delve, tapestry, and testament doing heavy lifting.

Paste your draft and the cleaner highlights every tell it finds, sorted into three kinds: stock phrases you should rewrite yourself, punctuation habits it can fix mechanically, and safe formatting artifacts it normalizes automatically. Review priority is low, moderate, or high, not a probability or an authorship verdict.

What gets fixed automatically vs. flagged

Fixed in one click: em dashes (choose comma, period, hyphen, or removal), curly quotes straightened, and low-risk pasted spacing normalized. Em dashes are kept unless you choose a replacement.

Flagged for you: confidence-weighted phrase families, repeated transition openers, not-just contrasts, decorated bullet-point structures, and unusually dense em dashes. These need a human rewrite. That's the part that makes the text sound like a person.

Frequently asked questions

Is this an AI detector?
No. It reviews specific, fixable patterns common in unedited assistant output, including distinctive stock phrases, repeated structures, and unusually dense em dashes. It then gives the draft a low, moderate, or high review priority. Human writing can contain every one of these patterns too.
Why do em dashes make text look AI-written?
ChatGPT and similar models use em dashes far more often than most human writers, sometimes several times per paragraph. Readers have learned to notice. An em dash isn't wrong, but a high density of them has become one of the most recognized tells of unedited AI text.
What are the hidden characters it removes?
Text copied from chat interfaces, PDFs, and word processors often contains invisible Unicode. The cleaner automatically normalizes low-risk paste artifacts such as byte order marks and unusual spacing. It preserves script joiners, emoji joiners, bidirectional controls, and soft hyphens because removing those can change valid text.
Why doesn't it rewrite the stock phrases for me?
Rewriting requires judgment about your meaning and voice, and doing it automatically would need an AI model. That would defeat the point. The tool shows you exactly where the clichés are; replacing them in your own words is what actually makes the text yours.
