AI does the heavy lifting, people stay in charge
Use AI to interpret permitted inputs, suggest structured mappings and generate candidate outputs for the three stated task modules. Use deterministic code for arithmetic, schema validation, hard constraints and reproducible tests. Review source-linked explanations and uncertainty before accepting results. One approved language set and permitted model list; final meaning and tone checks remain editorial. A model suggestion is never a verified fact, professional decision or authorization to act.
What your team sees
Primary screens: Source-linked assistant, Command and style library, Administrator console. Use a compact overlay for in-place correction and rewrite, a side panel for source references, style rules and comments, and a console for commands, models, languages and access. Let users compare original and revised text side by side. Display draft, changes requested and approved states. Provide a review link with comments anchored to the relevant passage. Make the task-specific outcome reviewed corrections and rewrites applied in place visible beside its evidence, review state and value baseline.
Accounts and administration
Project ownership, command versions, writer comments, approval states, usage allowances, revision limits, download history and a rights record for supplied material. Add organization access boundaries, named reviewers, usage caps, data retention controls, export logs and explicit approval for external actions.
Integrations and data access
Writer-owned documents, permitted style guides and authorized reference sources. Cloud text storage, desktop application hooks and publishing destinations. Start with file exchange and validate destination specifications before promising direct publishing. Start with authorized file exchange. Validate current provider access, usage rights and schema behavior before promising a connector.
How we build it
We build with our own AI software development factory, so most implementations take days to a few weeks of creation time, not months. You see working software at every step, and exact timing depends on availability.

Why we start with an MVP
An MVP, or minimum viable product, is the smallest version that your users can actually work with. It is not a cheap version of the full solution. It is a test, built to answer the questions that decide whether the rest is worth building.
- Pick the riskiest assumption. Here: will writers, editors and support teams who correct and rewrite text inside the applications they already use use it to solve "writers switch between many single-purpose writing tools, so corrections, rewrites and style rules are split across subscriptions and never stay with the text"?
- Build only what tests it. One team, one use case, a few core modules. People do the rest by hand for now.
- Run a paid pilot. Agree quality and outcome thresholds before the pilot using this measure: Accepted corrections per editing hour and rework after the writer accepts a change.
- Measure, then decide. Track accepted corrections per editing hour and rework after the writer accepts a change; accepted-output rate; material error rate; reviewer correction time; actual repeat purchase. Then expand, change course or stop, with evidence instead of opinions.
MVP scope for this solution. Pilot scope: One approved language set and permitted model list; final meaning and tone checks remain editorial. Implement one approved input format, a bounded representative case set and the first two task modules: correct grammar and spelling in selected text; detect and highlight typos as the writer types. Support the third module with operator review: rewrite selected text for clarity, tone or brevity. Include source references, corrections, basic organization access, approval states, export and value measurement. Use managed operator assistance for unresolved exceptions. The cost estimate covers this narrow prototype, not unrestricted multi-tenant scale, complex production integrations, specialist certification or physical operations.
After the MVP. Once paid pilots prove usefulness, automate repeatable reviewed steps and add one verified source integration. Expand supported inputs and case volume only after new evaluation cases pass. Build reusable customer configurations and recurring value reports around reviewed corrections and rewrites applied in place. Retain the explicit scope boundary: One approved language set and permitted model list; final meaning and tone checks remain editorial.
What the build depends on. Text selection and preview, asynchronous model jobs, editable version history, reviewer access and tested export formats. High-fidelity production requires specialist editorial QA. Obtain representative authorized cases, baseline measurements, qualified reviewers and a buyer-side decision owner. Specific limitation: One approved language set and permitted model list; final meaning and tone checks remain editorial.

Run it or resell it
For your own team
Writers, editors and support teams who correct and rewrite text inside the applications they already use run it inside the business: selected text, style rules, language settings and permitted model credentials in, reviewed corrections and rewrites applied in place out, reviewed by your people.
As part of your offer
Agencies, consultancies and software companies can offer it to their own clients under their brand. We build and maintain it; you sell and deliver it.

Selling it to your own clients: the go-to-market playbook
Pricing to test
Test a USD 300-1,500 fixed pilot for one defined writing package. Offer a monthly production allowance after repeat demand. Quote complex voice, screen or visual tasks separately. These are test prices, not market benchmarks. Package the initial sale as one bounded reviewed corrections and rewrites applied in place. Recurring fees must specify volume, review depth and integration support. For exchanges, test a disclosed coordination or successful-service fee rather than holding customer funds. Reprice only after measuring real delivery labor; platform-build cost is separate from a commercial pilot fee.
Message to test
Reduce correction and rewrite time while keeping the writer's voice and source text. Demonstrate a concrete reviewed corrections and rewrites applied in place using the buyer's approved example and show the baseline, corrections and actual delivery effort.
Where to find buyers
Writers, editors and support teams professional communities; specialist consultants serving this buyer; permissioned partner introductions; practical demonstrations at relevant trade or practitioner events.
Lead magnet
A reviewed sample reviewed corrections and rewrites applied in place from a small authorized input set, with a transparent calculation of accepted corrections per editing hour and rework after the writer accepts a change and no promised savings.
The first 30 days
- Week 1: interview five writers, editors and support teams who correct and rewrite text inside the applications they already use and inspect a recent example of corrections, rewrites and style rules split across subscriptions and never staying with the text.
- Week 2: prepare a consented or synthetic demonstration of the three task modules.
- Week 3: seek one bounded paid pilot with agreed baseline and acceptance criteria.
- Week 4: measure accepted corrections per editing hour and rework after the writer accepts a change, reviewer effort and repeat-purchase interest. This is a demand-validation plan, not a thirty-day full-product delivery promise.
Paid pilot
Agree quality and outcome thresholds before the pilot using this measure: Accepted corrections per editing hour and rework after the writer accepts a change. Continue only if the buyer accepts the actual output, the intended job outcome improves without unacceptable errors, and measured delivery cost fits willingness to pay. Revise or stop if access is unavailable, qualified review cannot be provided, or apparent savings disappear after corrections and support. Use held-out cases when comparing model quality; use a properly reviewed comparison design before making causal claims. Record missing cases and negative results alongside successful outputs.
Success metrics
Accepted corrections per editing hour and rework after the writer accepts a change; accepted-output rate; material error rate; reviewer correction time; actual repeat purchase.
Retention and expansion
Repeat the workflow when the buyer again needs reviewed corrections and rewrites applied in place. Retain permissioned settings and reviewed examples, report realized value honestly, and sell increased volume or adjacent approved workflows only after contribution margin and quality remain acceptable.
Why clients would pick it
A reusable library of approved styles, language rules and review examples, together with reliable delivery for a narrow writing niche. Build a permissioned library of representative task cases, reviewer corrections and verified operating constraints for writers, editors and support teams who correct and rewrite text inside the applications they already use. Repeatable delivery and useful integrations matter more than access to a base model.
Alternatives and positioning
TypoTab, Steer 2.0, SnapRewrite, Kerlig, Steer, Fixkey, Rewrait, Fluent, Attyn and Heynds, plus manual correction and general-purpose chat tools. Compare this product with the buyer's present method on accepted corrections per editing hour and rework after the writer accepts a change. Offer a bounded paid workflow instead of claiming broad autonomous expertise. Market uniqueness and competitor coverage are not verified.
Main delivery costs
Model calls, speech and image processing, storage, reviewer hours, writer revision rounds and licensed source material. Additional initial validation requires representative authorized sample preparation, buyer interviews, buyer-side evaluation and bounded validation of reviewed corrections and rewrites applied in place. Track cost per accepted output, including correction work, unsuccessful cases and support.
Safeguards
Preserve writer voice, source attribution, quotation accuracy and usage permissions. Writers approve substantive changes and publication scope. One approved language set and permitted model list; final meaning and tone checks remain editorial. Keep all consequential actions under authorized human control and do not fabricate missing inputs, permissions, professional judgments or market evidence.
