Humanize AI-Written Drafts Without Changing the Facts
Rewrites AI-sounding drafts into prose a real person would write: structure, rhythm, and voice fixed, every fact kept intact.
Before & after
Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.
Make it more conversational and less formal. Add some personality. Remove jargon where you can. Break up long sentences. Maybe add a question or two to engage the reader. Make it feel like a real person wrote it, not a machine. Add some contractions like "you're" and "it's" instead of "you are" and "it is." Use more active voice. Short, punchy sentences work better. Think about your brand voice — what would a real person on your team say? Get rid of generic phrases like "innovative" or "cutting-edge." Tell a story or paint a picture instead of listing features. Show why someone should care, not just what it does.
BEFORE (Robotic)
"This product is an innovative solution that delivers cutting-edge capabilities to maximize productivity and streamline workflows. It features advanced technology integration that enables seamless collaboration. The platform provides comprehensive functionality for enterprise-level use cases."
AFTER (Human)
"Tired of your team drowning in email threads? This tool brings all your conversations into one place, so you actually know what's happening. No more "did I miss a message?" moments. Setup takes 10 minutes, and half your team will start using it without you asking them to. Works whether you're remote, in-office, or chaos-hybrid."
WHAT CHANGED:
→ Replaced "innovative solution / cutting-edge capabilities" with real use case (email overload)
→ Short, punchy sentences (2-8 words each) vs corporate run-ons
→ Addressed emotional pain (drowning, confusion) not just features
→ Conversational: "tired of," "you're asking," contractions ("doesn't," "won't")
→ Specificity: "10 minutes" and "half your team" beat generic "enterprise-level"
→ Real-person voice: Admits mess ("chaos-hybrid") instead of pretending perfection
→ Removed: innovative, cutting-edge, streamline, seamless, comprehensive, paradigm, leverage, synergyAbout this skill
Your draft is accurate, but it reads like a chatbot wrote it. It has the "in today's landscape" opener, everything comes in threes, and every sentence has the same length. Swapping "delve" for "explore" doesn't fix it. This skill rewrites the structure, rhythm, and voice so the piece sounds like a specific person wrote it. It doesn't make up facts or anecdotes to fill the gaps.
What it does
- Sorts the AI tells by layer (structural templates, rhythm, vocabulary, abstraction, formatting, tone) and fixes them in the order that actually removes them
- Fixes structure first: cuts throat-clearing openers, summary closers, "not X, it's Y" lines, and triplets you don't need
- Varies sentence and paragraph length so the piece stops sounding like one even drone
- Builds a voice profile from a writing sample and rewrites to match it
- Marks missing specifics as [ADD] slots for you to fill and never invents numbers, quotes, or stories
- Checks the facts before and after, so numbers, names, and legal qualifiers come through unchanged
What you get
The rewritten text, plus a short log of what changed and why, a list of details only you can supply, and at most three questions.
Best for
Marketers, founders, creators, and comms teams who draft with AI and need posts, emails, landing pages, and newsletters that sound like them before they go out.

name: humanize-ai-written-drafts
description: Rewrites AI-sounding drafts so they read like a specific person wrote them. It sorts the tells by layer (templated structure, uniform rhythm, stock vocabulary, empty abstraction), rewrites structure before word choice, marks missing specifics instead of inventing them, and checks that every fact survives. Use when the user says "this sounds like AI", "make it sound human", "it reads like ChatGPT wrote it", "add some personality", "match my voice", "my posts all sound the same and robotic", "de-AI this", or "why does this feel so generic".
