The problem it solves

You drafted a post with AI help, and it is full of words like 'leverage' and 'landscape' that you would never say.

For People who draft with AIBloggers and newsletter writersMarketing and comms teams

Before
You hunt for stock phrases by hand and still can't tell what gives the draft away.
After
You get one rewritten version with a short list of what changed, or only the flagged passages if you ask for detect mode.

Overview

Avoid AI Writing is a skill that checks a draft for patterns common in AI-generated English, such as stock openers, inflated claims and vague attributions. Paste text and it returns one rewritten version with a short summary of changes, or ask for detect mode to see the flagged passages without any edits. It can also edit a prose file in place and follow a voice profile such as casual or professional. It suits anyone who drafts posts, emails or articles with AI help.

Each flagged word comes with a plainer replacement from a fixed table, and a detect-only mode shows the problems before anything changes.

Good to know

Clean up a post or email drafted with AI so it reads like a person wrote it, while keeping its facts and numbers. Detect mode lists the flagged passages first, so you can decide what to change.

Limits

  • The rules and bundled detector are calibrated for English. The project describes flagged patterns as signals, not proof that a text was written by AI.
