Humanize AI Drafts: Diagnose Tells and Rewrite
Finds patterns that make a draft read as AI-written and rewrites it in the right voice, keeping every fact and flagging missing specifics.
Before & after
Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.
I'd be happy to help make your writing sound more natural and less robotic. To do that effectively, I'd suggest a few general approaches: You could try removing overly formal language and replacing it with conversational tone. Also, consider breaking up long sentences into shorter ones. Another tip is to vary your sentence structure to avoid repetition. I could help you refine this further if you provide the actual text you'd like me to work with. What specific areas feel most robotic to you?
ORIGINAL TEXT:
"I appreciate the opportunity to interface with your team. Please be advised that we shall initiate a comprehensive analysis of the aforementioned parameters."
AI TELLS REMOVED:
- "interface with" → talk to
- "Please be advised" → deleted (opening hedge)
- "aforementioned parameters" → these details
- "shall initiate" → will start
REWRITTEN:
"I'd love to work with your team on this. We'll start digging into these details right away."
PATTERNS STRIPPED:
- Over-hedging ("I'd suggest", "Please be advised")
- Stock corporate phrases ("interface", "aforementioned")
- False formality ("shall", "initiate")
- Listicle rhythm (no bullet-list fluff)
YOUR VOICE STAYS: The rewrite keeps your intent and confidence intact while dropping the AI tells that make readers disengage. Install the skill, feed it your draft, and get back human-sounding copy ready to publish.About this skill
Your draft is grammatically fine, and it still sounds like a chatbot wrote it. Swapping "delve" for "dig into" doesn't help, because what readers pick up on is the sentence structure underneath the words. This skill finds those structures, rewrites the text so it sounds like a real person (ideally you), and keeps every fact and number intact.
What it does
- Finds the AI tells in your draft and ranks them by how much they hurt, quoting the actual lines: "It's not X, it's Y" sentences, reflexive lists of three, fake-suspense setups, paragraphs that end in a moral, filler openers and recap closers
- Fixes the structure first, then hedging and false balance, then rhythm, then vocabulary, so the rewrite is more than a synonym swap
- Builds a short voice profile from your real writing samples and rewrites to match it
- Marks missing specifics with [ADD: ...] slots instead of inventing anecdotes, numbers, or quotes
- Does a second pass to catch overcorrection, like forced casual openers, slang, and nonstop one-line paragraphs
- Checks the rewrite against the original so no claim, number, or caveat gets lost or made stronger
What you get
The rewritten text, a ranked list of what made it read as AI-written, a one-line explanation for each change, and a list of the specifics only you can fill in. Quick one-liners just get the rewrite.
Best for
Founders, marketers, consultants, and anyone who drafts with AI and then publishes under their own name: posts, emails, landing pages, newsletters, and reports.

description: Finds the specific patterns that make a draft read as AI-written (sentence structures, stance, rhythm, formatting, vocabulary) and rewrites it as natural prose in the target voice. It keeps every fact and marks missing specifics with [ADD] slots instead of inventing them. Use when the user says "make this sound less like AI", "humanize this", "this reads like ChatGPT wrote it", "rewrite this in my voice", "my drafts all sound robotic", "why does this sound so generic", "strip the AI tone out", or "clean this up before I post it".
