Welcome to the Draftsmith learning hub

Edits of texts by multilingual writers can be heavy, depending on the author’s level of English proficiency. It’s easy to misunderstand their intention or unintentionally erode their voice through personal biases or assumptions.

We put the user in control of everything that matters. Draftsmith puts a very tight bound on what the AI is asked to do. The key bits of thinking are with the user. Here’s how we did that.

In all of the hype around AI and its capabilities, has anyone taken the time to notice that it produces some absolutely awful editing suggestions?

While ChatGPT and other generative AI tools can assist in generating a first draft, they lack the human nuance, insight, and emotional depth that makes good writing resonate with readers.

Here are eight tips to help you to distill your prose effectively and efficiently.

If you believe in the power of your own writing without the help of AI, then you are not alone! Writing helps you to think. By starting with your own idea, your own outline and your own first draft, you can often produce your best work.

I’m still an AI cynic. Everyone should continue to push for transparency, fairness, and ethical practices in the development and use of AI. We must also be mindful of the potential social and economic impacts of AI, and work to address all of the popular misconceptions about what it is. From there, we can work to stop its misuse.

For centuries, writer’s block has been the relentless foe of creative minds, tormenting authors, journalists, and poets alike. What writer hasn’t experienced the chilling feeling of staring at a blank page, desperate for inspiration. Yet, lurking in the shadows is a lesser-known but equally debilitating condition: “editor's block.”

The first time I saw ChatGPT simplify some text, my jaw dropped wide open. I asked myself if editing would ever be the same again. I watched as ChatGPT simplified one sentence. Then ChatGPT converted another to plain English. The results were staggering.
