It's too unpolished yet to present it to the public. For example it tries to change tenses unnecessarily or guesses wrong pronouns with obvious clues.

But I support this project. Grammarly is too rigid in its suggestions despite being pretty mature. Jasper has a shitty webapp with obligatory signin and strange behaviour. And Sudowrite was unusable in my attempt because it didn't make my sample sentences any better despite wanting $20 a month.


I've had good luck with using them as an alternative to the Google Translate API, but they're entering a pretty crowded space, e.g. Sudowrite, Jasper, Grammarly.

I've even used ChatGPT's zero shot to do some editorial clean-ups with the prompt:

I am going to provide paragraphs of text in quotation marks that may contain spelling errors, grammatical issues, continuity errors, structural problems, etc. I would like you to produce a revised version with all of the above issues fixed. Do not begin until I provide text enclosed in quotation marks.
