Prompt Library
The prompt matters more than the rewrite button. These prompts give the model constraints, reader context, and a clear quality target.

Prompt
Rewrite this for clarity. Keep the same meaning and preserve all facts. Use shorter sentences, clearer transitions, and more concrete wording. Remove repeated ideas and vague phrases. Return only the rewritten version.
Prompt
Rewrite this so it sounds like a thoughtful person wrote it, not a generic AI draft. Keep the meaning. Use varied sentence length, concrete details, and natural transitions. Avoid hype, cliches, and overexplaining.
Prompt
Rewrite this email to be clear, warm, and professional. Make the ask obvious, keep it concise, and remove anything that sounds defensive or robotic. Preserve names, dates, and commitments.
Prompt
Rewrite this in an academic but readable style. Preserve citations, claims, definitions, and argument order. Improve flow and precision, but do not add new evidence or overstate the conclusion.
Goal: Clarity
Clarity prompts fix drafts where the point is buried or the sentences are tangled. They do not change what you are saying; they make it easier to follow. Paste your text after the instruction. If you are new to this, our how to rewrite guide walks through the full order.
Prompt
Rewrite this so each sentence carries one idea. Put the main point of each paragraph first. Keep every fact, number, and name. Replace vague words with concrete ones. Return only the rewrite.
Prompt
Rewrite this for a smart reader who is new to the topic. Define any jargon in plain words the first time it appears. Keep the meaning and all facts unchanged. Do not add new claims.
Goal: Shorten
Shortening prompts remove filler, repetition, and windups while protecting the substance. Give the tool a target so it does not trim too far. Watch that no fact or nuance disappears in the process.
Prompt
Cut this by about 30% without losing any meaning, fact, or step. Remove filler phrases and repeated ideas first. Keep names, numbers, and the main ask intact. Return only the shorter version.
Prompt
Condense this to one clear paragraph. Keep the request or conclusion and any deadline. Drop background the reader already knows. Do not invent details to fill space.
Goal: Tone Shift
Tone prompts adjust how the text feels without touching what it says. Name the exact tone and the reader; "professional" means different things to a customer and a regulator. For more on this, see rewrite tone and style.
Prompt
Rewrite this to sound warm, direct, and human, like a helpful colleague. Keep the meaning and all facts. Use natural sentence variety and remove stiff or defensive phrasing. Return only the rewrite.
Prompt
Rewrite this in a confident, plain tone. State recommendations directly instead of hedging. Do not add hype or exclamation marks. Preserve every fact, name, and number.
Goal: De-AI-ify
These prompts target generic, templated phrasing. Honest note: they can make writing sound more natural, but no prompt can guarantee text will pass an AI detector, and none should invent fake personal stories. The goal is real specificity, not a trick. Our humanize ChatGPT text page covers this in depth.
Prompt
Rewrite this to remove generic AI phrasing. Delete cliches like "in today's fast-paced world" and "it is important to note." Vary sentence length. Add concrete detail only where it is already implied by the text. Do not add facts I did not give you.
Prompt
Here is a paragraph in my voice: [paste sample]. Rewrite the draft below to match that voice, rhythm, and word choice. Keep all facts and the meaning unchanged. Do not invent personal anecdotes.
Goal: Audience Adaptation
Audience prompts reshape the same content for a different person. Name who they are, what they know, and what they need to do. The facts stay; the framing changes.
Prompt
Rewrite this for [specific reader, for example: a busy CFO / a first-time user / a hiring manager]. Lead with what they care about. Keep the meaning and all facts. Adjust examples and tone to fit them. Return only the rewrite.
Prompt
Give me two rewrites of this: one for an expert who wants detail and one for a beginner who wants the plain takeaway. Keep every fact identical across both. Label each version.
Goal: Keep Facts
The most important prompts are the ones that protect meaning. Use these as a wrapper around any other rewrite so the model knows what it may not touch. Then check the output against the original yourself.
Prompt
Before rewriting, list every fact, number, name, date, quote, and citation in this text. Then rewrite the text while keeping all of those exactly the same. After the rewrite, confirm each locked item is unchanged.
Prompt
Rewrite this for clarity and natural tone. Do not change any fact, number, name, or claim. After the rewrite, list in plain bullets what you changed and confirm no facts were altered.
Your Own Prompts
Good prompts are specific. A vague "rewrite this" leaves the model to guess, and it usually guesses generic. The more you tell it about the reader, the goal, and the limits, the closer the first draft lands. But prompts have hard limits too, and it helps to know them before you blame the tool.
