Step-by-step walkthrough

  1. 1

    Use this all-in-one editing prompt

    Paste your text with clear instructions:

    💬 Prompt to use:
    Edit this text for:
    1. Grammar and spelling errors
    2. Clarity (rewrite any confusing sentences)
    3. Professional tone (remove overly casual phrases)
    4. Conciseness (cut redundant words)
    
    Do not change the meaning or facts. Show me the edited version only.

  2. 2

    Ask for a "tracked changes" explanation

    If you want to understand the edits, ask: "List the main changes you made and why."

  3. 3

    Accept or reject changes

    Read the edited version carefully. Revert any change that doesn't sound like you or loses nuance.

  4. 4

    One final read-aloud check

    Read the final text out loud. If you stumble, the sentence still needs work.

    💡 Pro tip: Don't use AI proofreading for documents with confidential client data or sensitive HR information — use a local tool or on-premise AI instead.
