Article Rewriter and Refresh

How to run a rewrite

Sign in, then fill the form top to bottom. The brief says what you want done and is the only required field. The source article is where you paste the draft. Audience and tone are prefilled with sensible defaults you should change, and the output format picker offers Markdown, plain text, or an outline plus draft. Extra instructions catch anything that does not fit elsewhere, such as a word ceiling.

Five task presets sit above the form: refresh an outdated article, shorten a bloated draft, rewrite for founders, rewrite for beginners, and turn a draft into a publish-ready version. Selecting one shows you what it would fill in; it only overwrites the form when you apply it, and it never starts a run on its own.

• Brief, up to 1,200 characters, describing the rewrite you want.
• Source article, up to 18,000 characters, which is a long blog post.
• Audience up to 240 characters, tone up to 180, extra instructions up to 600.
• Output arrives split into Revised draft and Change summary, with a raw view and a copy button.

Why a change summary matters more than the rewrite

The workflow is set up to return two things, and the second is the one that makes it usable at scale. A revised draft on its own has to be read end to end against the original to be trusted. A change summary tells you what was restructured and why, so you can approve or reject the edit without diffing two thousand words by hand.

That structure also constrains the model. Being required to account for its edits pushes it toward changes it can justify, rather than a rewrite that reads smoothly and quietly drops a paragraph you needed. It does not make the output correct, but it makes the output checkable, which is a different and more useful property.

Where the text goes when you press Run

This is not one of the browser-local tools on this site. Pressing Run sends the brief, the source article, and the other fields to a Cleanor endpoint, which forwards them to a third-party model provider to be rewritten. The result comes back, the run is charged against your monthly AI credits at 6 credits per run, and the inputs and output are recorded in your account history so you can return to them.

The practical consequence is that an unpublished draft, a client document, or anything under embargo leaves your device when you submit it. That is unavoidable for any hosted AI rewrite and is stated here rather than buried. If a draft cannot go to a model provider, do not paste it in.
