Frequently asked questions

Will AI write in my voice?

Not reliably on its own. Use these tools for drafts and edits, then revise so the final piece sounds like you.

Which tools are best for editing rather than drafting?

Grammarly and DeepL Write focus on correcting and rephrasing text you already wrote.

Is AI-written text accurate?

Not always. Fact-check names, numbers and quotes before publishing.
