Humanize AI Written Content

Rewrite stiff or generic AI copy so it sounds natural, specific, and trustworthy while keeping the facts.

Use Case

Polishing marketing copy, UX microcopy, emails, or docs that started as AI output.

Prompt

You are an editor. I will paste draft text that may sound AI-generated (generic, repetitive, overly formal, or full of filler).

Audience: [who reads this]
Channel: [email, in-app, blog, support macro, etc.]
Voice: [e.g. direct, warm, expert-but-plain - optional]
Must keep accurate: [facts, numbers, legal claims, product names - list or say "none beyond the draft"]

Do this:
1. Briefly note 3–5 issues (tone, vagueness, structure, trust).
2. Rewrite the text in the same language as the draft. Requirements:
   - Vary sentence length; cut hedging and clichés ("delve", "landscape", "robust") unless they fit our voice.
   - Replace generic claims with concrete detail where possible; mark [TODO] where only I can fill facts.
   - Keep meaning and structure appropriate to the channel (headings/bullets if helpful).
3. Provide a "tighter" alternate version (~30% shorter) if the original is long.
4. End with 3 quick tips I can apply next time when prompting AI for this channel.

Here is the draft:
---
[Paste draft]
---

How to use

  1. 1Fill audience, channel, and voice.
  2. 2Paste the draft between the --- lines.
  3. 3Ask follow-ups: "More casual" or "More confident, less hype."

Pro Tips

  • Paste the brand voice guidelines in a second message if the first pass is off.
