How to Improve Something AI Wrote

Improve AI writing by checking meaning first, then voice, evidence, structure, and unnecessary words.

First correct facts and meaning. Then identify the audience and the action the writing should cause. Ask for one focused change at a time, and make the final voice decisions yourself.

A broad request like make this better lets AI decide what better means. Name the problem: unclear opening, repeated point, missing evidence, stiff tone, or weak next step.

Keep your source material nearby. Polished language can hide a factual change.

Tighten an update

Weak: Make this sound better.

Improved: Keep every fact, remove repeated background, move the decision needed into the first two sentences, and use plain language for a busy manager.

The revision has a specific editorial job and a protected set of facts.

Common mistakes

• Editing tone before checking facts
• Requesting every change at once
• Accepting words you would never use
