Edit with AI, keep your facts
Better wording without a changed date or a promise you never made. Useful in any language you write in at work.
Ask for a light edit
Edit the text below for grammar and clarity only. Keep every number, date, name and quote exactly as written. Keep words such as about, roughly, may and should. Do not add facts or new sentences. After the edited text, list each change you made in one line.
The list of changes comes from the same AI, so check it rather than trust it.
What slips through
- A date or a number that moved.
- A name that went missing.
- A detail you never wrote.
- “About 12%” that became “12%”.
- “Should” that became “must”, or a “not” that came or went.
- A new closing line that promises something.
Check it in two minutes
- Compare the numbers and dates in both versions first.
- Then the words that carry certainty, such as “about” and “should”.
- Read the new version once for sense.
- Put back anything you did not mean to change, and say exactly which.

If English is your second language
Ask for corrections, not a rewrite, so the voice stays yours:
Correct the grammar and spelling in my text. Keep my words and sentence order wherever they are already correct. Do not make it more formal.
A summary you can check
