What does each refinement do?

Shorten cuts length roughly in half while keeping every key point. Expand elaborates with detail and transitions without inventing facts. Rephrase rewrites with new wording at the same length and meaning. Simplify targets plain, 8th-grade-level language. Fix grammar makes minimal corrections and keeps your voice. Change tone rewrites as professional, friendly, confident, or casual — plus fun tones: Gen Z, millennial, Shakespearean, and pirate.

Does it work on Markdown?

Yes. Headings, lists, links, and code blocks are preserved — only the prose is refined. That makes it safe for READMEs, docs, Jira/Confluence content, and blog drafts.

Will Expand make things up?

The prompt explicitly forbids inventing facts, numbers, names, or claims not implied by your original text. Expand adds detail, transitions, and concrete phrasing — but always review AI output before publishing.

Can I apply more than one refinement?

Yes. Click 'Refine again' to move the output back into the input, pick a different refinement, and run it again — for example simplify first, then shorten.

Six refinements: shorten (cut ~50% while keeping every point), expand (elaborate without inventing facts), rephrase (same meaning, new wording), simplify (plain 8th-grade language), fix grammar (minimal edits, your voice intact), and change tone — professional, friendly, confident, casual, or fun tones like Gen Z slang, millennial, Shakespearean, and pirate speak. Markdown formatting, facts, names, and links are preserved. Stack refinements by feeding the output back as input. AI-powered. Daily-capped to stay free.
