Personally, I’ve been experimenting with ChatGPT for ideation and outlining, I still struggle with making the final content sound human enough sometimes. It’s a great co-pilot, but not quite ready to take off without intense filtering... I’ve also dabbled with tools like Jasper and Notion AI. Jasper feels a bit more "marketing-tuned," but Notion’s built-in stuff is convenient when I’m already working inside a doc. Curious, has anyone found a tool that actually helps with editing or rewriting content without totally losing your voice? Or one that plays nice with long-form pieces? Would love to hear what’s working (or not working) for you all.

I’ve had the same experience, ChatGPT is like a great brainstorming buddy but needs a heavy polish before publishing. For editing/rewriting, Wordtune has been the closest thing I’ve found to a “voice preserver.” It doesn’t bulldoze your style, just offers tighter phrasing options. For long-form, I’ve actually had some luck with Claude, it can hold context over really lengthy drafts better than most. I usually draft in ChatGPT, then drop bigger sections into Claude for expansion or smoothing. Between the two, I can get pretty close to “ready to publish” without losing that human feel. Curious if anyone else is stacking tools like that? Anyone else using one for structure and another for editing?
Has anyone tried Jasper's Boss Mode? I've heard mixed reviews but wondering if it's worth the premium. Also curious about Writesonic - seems like it might be good for blog posts?
I completely agree! I've been using Copy.ai for quick social media posts and it's been a game changer. The templates are super helpful when you're stuck. For longer content, I actually combine it with Grammarly's tone suggestions - works like a charm!
For academic writing, I've found that Claude is surprisingly good at maintaining formal tone while still being helpful with structure. Much better than ChatGPT for research papers in my experience.
