What "reads like AI" actually is
A first draft out of a chat model has habits you can name. Sentences come out close to the same length, one after another. Every third paragraph ends with a three-item list. The punctuation runs almost entirely through the comma and the full stop, where a person writing the same thing reaches for the colon, the bracket, the question mark. Stock phrases recur: "plays a vital role", "it is important to note", a closing offer to revise.
None of these is a watermark and none of them proves anything by itself. Together they are what an AI-detection score is usually reading — not hidden characters, but how the words are arranged.
So a rewrite that means anything has to change the arrangement: break the even rhythm, retire the stock phrases, let one sentence be four words long and the next be thirty. That is what this tool is for.
What the rewrite does
It writes three drafts of your passage, scores each one with the same checker that scored your original, and hands you the draft that scored lowest. Every attempt starts from your original text, so the argument and the facts stay yours.
You see what changed, itemised: the stock phrases that were in the passage and are not in the rewrite, and the structural habits whose score went down. If nothing changed, it says nothing changed rather than inventing a win.
The result comes back the length your text was, not half again as long. A rewrite that pads itself with empty clauses scores better on a naive counter and reads worse, and it is refused for exactly that reason.
What it does not do
It does not promise to beat a detector, and we will not pretend otherwise. Detectors change their models without telling anyone, and a draft that scores as human today can score as machine next term. What you get is a measured before-and-after on this site's own checker — evidence you can see, not a guarantee you cannot check.
It does not fabricate anything. The rewrite keeps your claims, your numbers and your structure. If a draft came back having lost the argument, it would be refused rather than shipped.
And it is not a way to pass off AI work as your own where the rules forbid that. Universities, publishers and clients have their own policies, and a rewrite does not change what the honest answer to "did you write this?" is. Use it on drafts you are allowed to polish — your own writing that reads stiff, or AI-assisted work where disclosure is permitted.
Free first, paid to keep
Checking is free: paste the draft, see every hidden character in it, see the style score and the exact phrases and habits that produced it. That part costs nothing and needs no account.
The rewrite is what a pass buys — $4 for a day or $19 for six months, one payment, no subscription. If the check comes back clean or the score does not bother you, you have lost nothing.
