When to use this
- Your draft is done, but you can't tell where it sounds off.
- You have an argument, but the evidence feels thin and you'd like someone to poke at it.
- You want one last spelling and grammar check before you hand it in.
Try asking
Paste one into any AI chatbot as it is — or, better, change it to fit your own subject.
Here's the draft of my book report. Don't rewrite it — just tell me whether my main point is clear, whether my evidence is enough, and whether the paragraphs are in a sensible order. Quote the exact sentences where there's a problem.
Why it works · Getting comments instead of a rewrite means you choose what to change, so the writing stays yours.
My second paragraph doesn't feel convincing. Don't write a better version — ask me three questions that would help me fix it myself.
Why it works · Answering questions sharpens your own thinking, so the new sentences come from your head.
Fix only spelling, grammar and punctuation. Don't change my wording or ideas, and list every change as "original → corrected."
Why it works · Handing over only the fixes that don't change the meaning, as a list, lets you see why each one was wrong so you don't repeat it.
Avoid
- Giving just a topic and handing in the essay it writes — it goes out under your name with none of your thinking in it.
- Handing over the parts that need your own opinions or experiences — the AI fills them with things that never happened to you.
- Hiding that you used AI — whether you can use it on an assignment, and how to say so, is up to your school and teacher.
How to check the answer
- Only take the suggestions you actually agree with. If you don't agree, leave it as it is.
- If the AI added a number or a fact, check it where it was first published and cite that source.
- If you got help, write one line on which part, how, and what you changed yourself — and hand it in if your teacher asks for it.
