Studies

Coursework is where a paraphrasing tool earns its keep: rewrite an essay in academic style, turn a wall of lecture notes into your own words, or flip a written passage into something you can say out loud.

Lecture into notes

A transcript or a long recording you need boiled down.

Prompt

Compress the text into study notes: short bullet points, only definitions, formulas, dates, names and conclusions. One idea per line. Add nothing of your own and drop no terms — the notes have to work in place of the original.

Before

So today we're going to talk about how the labour market works, and we'll start with a definition…

After

• Labour market — the relationship between worker and employer. • Demand comes from vacancies, supply from applicants.

Essay into academic style

The thinking is there, but it reads like a chat message.

Prompt

Rewrite in academic style: no colloquialisms, no "I think", impersonal constructions, precise terms and logical connectors between paragraphs. Keep every argument and fact; replace judgemental words with neutral wording.

Before

I feel like social media really wrecks kids' attention spans.

After

Research indicates a decline in sustained attention among school-age children who use social media regularly.

Explain it plainly

A textbook paragraph you have to read three times.

Prompt

Explain this text in plain language, as you would to a bright sixteen-year-old: short sentences, everyday examples instead of abstractions, every term unpacked the first time it appears. Don't simplify into something false — if a detail matters, keep it and explain it.

Before

Diffusion is the process of mutual penetration of the molecules of one substance among those of another.

After

Diffusion is substances mixing on their own. A drop of tea spreads through water with no spoon: molecules move and slip between the others.

Put it in your own words

You need your own text, not a paragraph from the source.

Prompt

Retell the text in your own words: a different order of ideas, different phrasing and sentence structure, your own examples. Keep facts, figures, names and conclusions exactly. Don't shuffle words inside the original phrases — rebuild the whole account.

Before

A paragraph copied out of an encyclopedia.

After

The same meaning and the same dates, in different language and a different order.

Written text into spoken

Written to be read on a page, and awkward to say out loud.

Prompt

Rewrite the text so it is easy to say out loud: short phrases, ordinary word order, no participial constructions and no long lists inside a single sentence. Keep the meaning, the facts and the figures. Keep the terms too, but add a short plain gloss after each.

Before

The analysis conducted, covering the period from 2019 to 2024, allows us to state a steady increase in the indicator.

After

We looked at the data from 2019 to 2024. The figure is going up, and going up steadily.

Work and correspondence

The things you send with your name on them. Rewrite an email professionally, say no politely in an email without burning the bridge, turn meeting scribbles into outcomes and tailor a CV to the job description.

Business letter

Written in a hurry, but it goes to a client or another company.

Prompt

Rewrite as a business letter: a greeting, the point in the first paragraph, details below, a specific request or next step at the end. Polite and free of officialese, no exclamation marks, no emoji. Invent nothing — use only what the original says.

Before

Hey! Listen, the contract makes no sense at all, we need to sort this out.

After

Hello! Clause 3.1 and Appendix 2 give different deadlines. Could you confirm which one stands, by Friday?

Letter to your manager

A request or a problem that has to reach the person who decides.

Prompt

Rewrite as a letter to a manager: the first sentence says what you need from them — a decision, an approval, a resource. Then brief context, why it is justified and what happens if it isn't done. End with your proposed option and a date. No complaints, no excuses: facts and a proposal.

Before

Everything's on fire again, nobody can keep up, this is impossible to work with.

After

Please approve an external front-end contractor by the 20th. Otherwise the release slips two weeks — the team is on two projects at once.

A polite no

You have to decline without damaging the relationship.

Prompt

Rewrite as a polite refusal: thanks for the offer, a clear no with no "maybe", one honest reason and, where it fits, an alternative. Don't apologise repeatedly and don't leave false hope. Three to five sentences.

Before

I don't know, probably not, things are tough right now, let's maybe do it some other time.

After

Thank you for the offer. We can't take the project this quarter — the team is booked until December. Happy to revisit it in January if that works for you.

Notes into outcomes

The call notes exist, but nobody can read the actions out of them.

Prompt

Rewrite the meeting notes as clear outcomes: decisions, tasks with owners and due dates, open questions — three short lists. Add nothing of your own: if an owner or a date wasn't named, write "not assigned".

Before

Talked about the design, think we agreed to redo it, Ivan will look, deadlines unclear.

After

Decisions: the mockup is being redone. Tasks: Ivan — new mockup by the 14th. Open: front-end deadline not assigned.

CV aimed at the job

The experience is described in generalities and misses the requirements.

Prompt

Rewrite the experience for this vacancy: every line an action verb, a result and a number, worded closer to the requirements. Cut "responsible for" with no outcome, and words like "communicative" or "stress-resistant". Add nothing that isn't in the text.

Before

Responsible for sales, worked with clients, was a dependable employee.

After

Ran a book of 40 accounts, lifted repeat sales 18% in a year, rolled out a CRM in two months.

Social media and blogging

An article becomes a post here: rewrite text for social media, cut a long read into an Instagram caption with an opening that holds, shorten a post to fit the character limit, and send an old one out again.

Post for a channel

An article or a note that has to fit a Telegram channel.

Prompt

Rewrite as a post for a Telegram channel: the first line hooks and says what this is about, then short paragraphs of one or two sentences with air between them. No "dear subscribers", no hashtags, one question or call at the end. Under 900 characters.

Before

In this article we will examine the main mistakes people make when choosing a laptop for study.

After

A £600 laptop that won't run a single course — it happens. Here are the three mistakes behind it.

An opening that holds

The text is good, the first lines bury it.

Prompt

Rewrite only the first two or three sentences so the reader wants to continue: a concrete scene, an unexpected figure, or a pain they recognise. No "have you ever wondered", no "in today's world". Leave the rest of the text untouched.

Before

In today's world, time management plays an important role in everyone's life.

After

Six in the evening, three tasks done out of eleven, and tomorrow's list is the same one. It usually isn't laziness.

A story, not a summary

A flat account of something that actually mattered.

Prompt

Rewrite it as a story: a person, a situation, a turning point, how it ended. Show through details and actions rather than verdicts — instead of "it was hard", what actually happened. Change no facts and invent none. One takeaway at the end, no spelled-out moral.

Before

We opened a bakery, it was hard, but we made it.

After

We pulled the first batch out at four in the morning, and the whole tray went in the bin. The second one worked.

Fit the post to the limit

The text is good, only longer than the platform allows.

Prompt

Cut the text down to 700 characters while keeping the main fact, the figures and the conclusion. Trim preambles, repetitions and examples, not the substance. Don't change the tone and don't add anything new: only what the text already says.

Before

An 1,800-character post, half of it wind-up and repetition.

After

690 characters: the point in the first line, two figures and a conclusion.

An old post, sent out again

The piece already went out and has to go out once more.

Prompt

Rewrite the text so it doesn't read as a repeat: a different way in, a different order of ideas, different wording and a different close. Keep facts, figures and links exactly. Don't add claims the original doesn't make.

Before

The same post that went out a year ago, word for word.

After

The same meaning and the same numbers, opened from another angle and worded differently.

Personal letters

Messages that matter to one person. Reword a message of congratulations or an invitation, word an apology that lands, make an angry text sound polite before you send it, and put a complaint in formal terms.

Congratulations

A template greeting people send without reading.

Prompt

Rewrite the greeting so it is clearly for this person: their name, one specific detail about them or the occasion, a warm wish in your own words. Cut clichés like "health, happiness and success" and any verse. Three or four sentences.

Before

Happy birthday! Wishing you happiness, health and success in everything!

After

Anna, happy birthday! You finished your thesis and started a new job in one year — that takes nerve. May the next one be calmer and just as interesting.

Apology

It is meant as an apology and comes out as an excuse.

Prompt

Rewrite as an apology: name exactly what went wrong, with no "if anyone was offended", a short explanation that shifts blame to no one, and what has been or will be done. One "sorry", not five. Calm, without self-flagellation.

Before

Sorry if that upset you somehow, but honestly I was busy and couldn't reply.

After

Sorry for disappearing for a week and leaving your message unanswered. That was careless of me. Answering point by point below.

Invitation

You're inviting people over and half the details go missing.

Prompt

Rewrite as an invitation: the occasion, date and time, place, what to bring and by when to reply. Warm and human, not a notice on a board. Take every detail from the original text and invent nothing; mark anything missing as "to confirm".

Before

We're getting together on Saturday, come along, it'll be fun.

After

Housewarming this Saturday the 14th, from 6pm, 12 Gagarin Street, flat 5. Dinner is on us, wine if you fancy. Let me know by Thursday.

Soften a sharp message

Written in anger — it can't go out like that.

Prompt

Keep the substance and the demand, drop the edge: no accusations, no "you always", no sarcasm or caps. Turn the complaint into a statement of facts and a request. Firm but calm — don't concede the point itself.

Before

You've blown it again! How long can this go on, it's an absolute disgrace.

After

The deadline has moved for the second time. Please name a date we can rely on, and what changes so it doesn't happen again.

Formal complaint

A claim or an application that has to be taken seriously.

Prompt

Rewrite as a formal letter: who it is to and from, the point in the first paragraph, facts with dates and amounts in order, a clear demand and a deadline for the reply. Businesslike, without emotion or judgement. Add only what the text contains; mark missing data as "to be specified".

Before

I've been waiting a month for my refund, this is a joke, how long is this going to take.

After

A refund for order 1024 (£74) was raised on 3 August. The funds have not arrived. Please return the amount within 10 days and confirm in writing.

Customers and service

Writing to people who already have an opinion about you: how to respond to a negative review without sounding defensive, answer a customer, send a delivery delay email, write a newsletter and a how-to they follow.

Reply to a bad review

A review on a map or a marketplace that future customers will read.

Prompt

Rewrite as a public reply to a review: thanks without the template, acknowledgement of the specific problem, what has been done and how you'll fix it for this person, and where to write. Don't argue and don't make excuses; one "we're sorry", not two. Four sentences at most.

Before

You're wrong, everything works fine on our side, you probably did something wrong yourself.

After

Thank you for writing. The courier was indeed two hours late — we're taking it up with the delivery service. We'll refund the delivery fee: send us your order number in a direct message.

Reply to a customer

The answer keeps growing while the customer just needs the outcome.

Prompt

Rewrite the reply to a customer: the direct answer first — "yes, you can" or "no, but" — then one explanation and the step they should take. No "in accordance with the regulations", no internal rules. Friendly, five sentences at most.

Before

In accordance with the terms of the offer, returns are processed under the procedure set out in clause 5.

After

Yes, you can return it within 14 days. You'll need the receipt and the box. Submit a request in your account — the money is back on your card in three days.

Delay notice

The deadline has slipped and you want to be the one who says so.

Prompt

Rewrite as a delay notice: what is late and by how much in the first sentence, no preamble. Then the reason in one line, the new date, and what you're doing so it doesn't repeat. One apology, at the end. Don't bury the bad news mid-paragraph.

Before

We would like to inform you that due to a number of circumstances our timelines have somewhat changed.

After

Your order ships on the 12th, three days late: the supplier held up the fittings. The new date is confirmed in writing. Sorry for the delay — delivery is on us.

Newsletter email

A piece of news that has to become an email people open.

Prompt

Rewrite as a newsletter email: a subject line under 40 characters, a first line with the benefit to the reader, the substance in three or four short paragraphs, one call to action at the end. Address the reader directly, skip "dear customers" and don't stack several calls.

Before

Dear customers! We hereby inform you that a new promotion has started in our store.

After

Subject: "Free strap replacement". First line: until 30 September we'll swap the strap on any watch in the catalogue, no appointment.

How-to for customers

The instructions are written in the language of the people who built it.

Prompt

Rewrite as step-by-step instructions for a customer: numbered steps, one action each and what the person will see afterwards. Button names in quotes, exactly as they appear in the interface. No internal jargon. End with what to do if it didn't work.

Before

To authorise, it is necessary to initiate the verification procedure via the personal account.

After

1. Sign in to your account. 2. Tap "Confirm phone" — a code arrives. 3. Enter the code. Nothing came? Tap "Send again" after a minute.

Keywords

Optimisation the reader never notices. How to use keywords in an article without wrecking it, where to place the main one, which synonyms and long-tail variants to add, and how to clear out old keyword stuffing.

Keyword in the opening

For when the main query sits somewhere in the middle, or nowhere at all.

Prompt

Rewrite the text so the main keyword appears in the first sentence, in a natural form. Do not change the meaning or any facts. Leave the rest as it is, unless it stops the opening paragraph from reading well.

Before

We have been on the market since 2010 and are glad to offer a wide choice.

After

Flower delivery in Leeds has run since 2010 — from a bouquet in an hour to full venue styling.

Even placement

The keyword appears five times in one paragraph and never again.

Prompt

Spread the main keyword evenly through the text: at most one use per paragraph, three to five in total. Replace the extra repeats with synonyms and pronouns so no sentence reads as if the phrase was dropped into it.

Before

Buy PVC windows. PVC windows cheap. PVC windows — our PVC windows.

After

You can buy PVC windows the same day. We match the profile to the opening and fit it in one shift.

Synonyms and related terms

The text leans on one phrase, so search never sees the wider topic.

Prompt

Add words and phrases from the same topic — synonyms of the keyword, names of neighbouring concepts, the terms a specialist would use. Invent nothing: only what already follows from the text. Do not raise the density of the main keyword.

Before

We renovate flats. Flat renovation done properly.

After

We renovate flats end to end: first fix, rewiring, floor screed, final decorating.

Long tail

The page answers the broad query but misses how people actually phrase it.

Prompt

Work three to five long-tail queries into the text — the ones with a city, a price, a deadline, «near me», «reviews», «how much». Put each in its own sentence and phrase it naturally, never as a comma-separated list.

Before

Washing machine repair.

After

Washing machine repair at home in Bristol — an engineer the same day, diagnosis free of charge.

Strip the stuffing

The text reads as written for a robot: keywords in every line.

Prompt

Remove the keyword stuffing: keep the main query two or three times in the whole text and replace the rest with synonyms or rebuilt sentences. Undo glued phrases like «buy windows London cheap» into ordinary language. Keep the meaning and every fact.

Before

Plastic windows London buy cheap plastic windows price.

After

Plastic windows in London — from £129 fitted. We quote from the size of the opening.

Headings and snippet

What a reader meets first: how to write an H1 that matches the intent, break a text into H2s in one consistent style, keep a title tag inside 50-60 characters, and open with the answer a featured snippet can lift.

H1 for the query

A pretty heading that contains nothing anyone searches for.

Prompt

Rewrite the heading so it contains the main query word for word, runs 20–70 characters and promises exactly what the page delivers. No clickbait, no ellipses, no «the best».

Before

Welcome to a world of comfort!

After

Made-to-measure curtains in Manchester: sewn in 5 days

Break into H2s

One long wall of text without a single subheading.

Prompt

Split the text into sections and give each one an H2 of three to seven words. A subheading has to answer the reader's question, not say «Introduction» or «Overview». Do not rewrite what is inside the sections, only regroup it.

Before

4,000 characters of unbroken prose.

After

«How long screed dries», «When to lay tiles», «What to do about cracks».

Title of 50–60 characters

The tab title gets cut off in the results, or just repeats the H1.

Prompt

Rewrite the page title so it lands between 50 and 60 characters: the main query first, a short qualifier, the brand after a dash. No full stop, no caps, no repeated word. Keep the promise the page makes. Answer with the title alone.

Before

Our company offers stretch ceiling services in London and the surrounding area at low prices

After

Stretch ceilings in London — fitted in one day | iBro

Subheadings in one style

The subheadings inside the text are each written a different way.

Prompt

Rewrite the subheadings in a single style: the same grammatical form throughout, three to seven words, no full stops and no numbering. Each one says what is inside its section, not "Introduction" or "General information". Leave the sections themselves untouched.

Before

Introduction · How to choose? · USEFUL TIPS · A word on delivery

After

What you choose from · Picking the right size · Delivery times and cost

Answer for the snippet

You need a block search can lift straight into the results.

Prompt

Open the text with a direct answer to the page's main question: 40–60 words that stand on their own without the rest of the text. The answer first, then one qualifier. No «in this article we will look at».

Before

In this article we will try to work out how to choose a mattress.

After

Choose a mattress by weight and sleeping position: under 60 kg soft, 60–90 kg medium, over 90 kg firm.

Structure and readability

A wall of text loses people on the second screen. Make text easier to read with short paragraphs, turn prose into a list, drop it two reading grades, rewrite passive voice into active and cut the filler.

Short paragraphs

Ten-line paragraphs nobody gets through.

Prompt

Break the text into paragraphs of two or three sentences, one idea per paragraph. Split long sentences into short ones. Keep the order of ideas and every fact — drop nothing.

Before

A twelve-line paragraph with every delivery condition at once.

After

Three paragraphs — timing, delivery area, payment.

Turn prose into a list

A list is hiding inside a paragraph, separated by commas.

Prompt

Find the enumerations in the text and set them as a bulleted list: one item per line, each starting with a noun or a verb, no full stops at the end. Anything that is not an enumeration stays as prose.

Before

The price covers measuring, delivery, fitting, waste removal and a guarantee.

After

A five-item list — measuring, delivery, fitting, waste removal, guarantee.

Two grades simpler

Written in officialese, so nobody reaches the end.

Prompt

Rewrite the text in plain language: short sentences, ordinary words instead of officialese, no stacked clauses. Aim at a level a sixteen-year-old reads comfortably. Keep the terms, but explain each in brackets on first use.

Before

Delivery is effectuated within three working days from the moment of placement.

After

We deliver within three working days of your order.

Active voice

Everything «was carried out», by nobody in particular.

Prompt

Replace passive constructions with active ones: every action needs the person doing it. «A diagnosis was carried out» → «the engineer ran a diagnosis». Keep the meaning, do not make it longer.

Before

Your request will be reviewed within 24 hours.

After

We review your request within 24 hours.

Cut the filler

Half the text is throat-clearing and stock phrases.

Prompt

Cut the filler: remove throat-clearing openers, clichés like «in today's world» and «a wide range», and praise with no fact behind it. Keep the specifics — numbers, deadlines, conditions. Take out about a third without losing anything that matters.

Before

In today's world, quality furniture plays an important role in creating comfort.

After

We build the wardrobe to your measurements in 10 days, with six fronts to choose from.

Commercial pages

Pages that have to sell rather than inform: write a product description that beats the manufacturer version, put usable copy on a category or service page, turn a spec sheet into benefits and sharpen the call.

Product description

The description was copied from the supplier's catalogue.

Prompt

Rewrite the product description: first sentence — what it is and who it suits, then three or four benefits with the specs in brackets, then what comes in the box. Put the keyword in the first sentence. No «high-quality», no «wide range».

Before

A high-quality kettle from a well-known brand with wide functionality.

After

A 1.7 l electric kettle boils in four minutes (2,200 W) and holds the temperature for an hour.

Category text

A block of keywords at the bottom of the category that nobody reads.

Prompt

Rewrite the category text: 700–900 characters explaining how to choose within this category and how the options differ. Use the main query once, in the first sentence. No comma-separated brand lists.

Before

Buy taps London kitchen taps bathroom taps cheap.

After

Kitchen taps differ by spout height: a low one suits a shallow sink, a high one if you wash pans.

Service page

The text talks about the company instead of the customer's problem.

Prompt

Restructure the text as: the customer's problem → how the service solves it → what the work includes → timing and price → call to action. Write about the customer, not the company: «you get», not «we offer».

Before

Our company has been successful in the cleaning market for 12 years.

After

Building dust settles everywhere after a refit — we clear it in four hours, windows included.

Specs into benefits

A list of specifications that never says why they matter.

Prompt

Turn the specifications into benefits: after each one, say what it gives the buyer. Use the shape «spec — which means you …». Keep the numbers exactly, invent nothing.

Before

Insulation thickness — 100 mm.

After

100 mm of insulation — the house holds its heat through winter without a second heater.

Sharpen the call

The text just stops, leaving the reader with nothing to do.

Prompt

Add a call to action at the end: one verb in the imperative, what happens after the click, and one objection removed («no deposit», «we reply in 15 minutes»). One or two sentences, no exclamation marks.

Before

We look forward to working with you.

After

Send us the measurements — you get a quote in 15 minutes, with no deposit.

Trust and locality

E-E-A-T without the acronym talk. Tie a page to the city it serves, add first-hand experience to an article, let an expert voice come through, plant the signals people check, and build an FAQ out of real questions.

Tie it to the city

The text would fit any city, so it ranks in none.

Prompt

Tie the text to its city: put the city in the first paragraph and once or twice more, mention districts or landmarks, and state the local delivery or call-out terms. Invent nothing — only what the text already supports.

Before

We visit the client at a convenient time.

After

We cover every district of Leeds, and reach the city centre the same day.

Add lived experience

Correct but faceless — you cannot tell who wrote it.

Prompt

Add traces of first-hand experience: how many times you have done this, what usually goes wrong, the mistake beginners make. Rely only on what the text already contains — invent no figures or cases. Two or three added sentences, no more.

Before

Screed has to cure before tiling.

After

We give screed 28 days: on jobs where tiles went down sooner, the grout cracked by the first winter.

An expert's voice

It should sound like a specialist wrote it, not the marketing department.

Prompt

Rewrite it in a specialist's first person: «we do», «I'd advise», with professional detail and honest caveats about who this does not suit. No superlatives, no advertising promises.

Before

Our specialists will select the optimal solution for your home.

After

I'd suggest a heat pump if the house is insulated — in an uninsulated one it never pays for itself.

Signals of trust

Plenty of promises, nothing backing them.

Prompt

Back the promises in the text: the guarantee and its length, what the contract covers, how refunds work, who is answerable for the result. Only what the source text already mentions — commit to nothing new.

Before

We work to a high standard and you can rely on us.

After

Three-year guarantee on the fitting, and the contract is signed before work starts.

Build an FAQ

The answers to the common questions are buried in the prose.

Prompt

Pull five to seven of the most common questions out of the text and lay them out as question and answer. Phrase the question the way a customer would; answer in two or three sentences, straight to the point, with no «thanks for asking».

Before

Delivery takes from three days, and collection from the warehouse is possible.

After

«How long is delivery?» — «Three working days in the city. Collection from the warehouse on the day you pay.»

Originality and the new search

Search has changed under the text. Make a page original instead of duplicated, shape content for AI overviews at the top of the results, match the intent behind the wording, place anchors naturally, rewrite for voice search.

Make it original

The text matches the manufacturer's site or a competitor's.

Prompt

Rewrite the text completely in your own words: different sentence structure, different order of ideas, different examples. Keep facts, numbers and names exactly. Do not paraphrase paragraph by paragraph — rebuild how it is told.

Before

A description copied from the supplier's site.

After

The same meaning and the same specs, in different words and a different order.

For AI answers

You want AI overviews in the results to cite this page.

Prompt

Rewrite it so every block answers one question in full and makes sense away from the rest of the text: 40–60 words, no «as mentioned above», with the specifics and numbers in the block's first sentence.

Before

As we wrote above, the timing depends on many factors.

After

A new passport takes 30 days at your registered address and up to 90 days elsewhere.

Match the intent

The page sells while the query wants an explanation, or the other way round.

Prompt

Work out from the text what the reader wants — to understand or to buy — and rewrite for that. For an informational query: the answer and the explanation first, selling only at the end. For a commercial one: terms, price and timing first.

Before

What is comprehensive cover? Buy it from us with 20% off!

After

Comprehensive cover pays for damage to your own car whoever caused it. Here is what sets the price.

Natural anchors

Links labelled «here» and «this link».

Prompt

Rewrite the link labels so the anchor says where it leads: two to five words, no «here», «click here» or «read more», and no exact keyword in every single link. Adjust the sentence around each link so it still reads.

Before

Read more about delivery here.

After

Timing and areas are set out in our delivery terms.

For voice search

People ask out loud, in whole questions.

Prompt

Rewrite the text for spoken questions: work in the shapes «how», «how much does it cost», «where near me», «can I», and answer each one in the first sentence after it. Short sentences, ordinary words, no complex constructions.

Before

The cost of the service is determined individually.

After

How much is a call-out? £25 in the city, and free if you go ahead with the repair.
