AI writing assistant (AIWA)

Overview

WProofreader AI writing assistant (AIWA) is a text rewriter and content generation tool for multiple languages and their dialects. It changes your texts in different ways: shorten, expand, rewrite, improve and switch style, summarize key ideas and proofread.

AIWA is supported in all WProofreader versions by default, incl. the standalone version under the Enterprise plan. Within the latter, clients can access AI writing assistant via connecting their AWS Bedrock. Users of free browser extension users have access to the limited version of AIWA.

The usage is limited by daily word or prompt quotas that depend on your subscription plan. When you reach your daily limit, the AIWA feature is temporarily unavailable, but it doesn’t block the entire WProofreader integration. Quotas reset daily at 00:00 UTC.

AIWA is disabled by default and must be manually activated in the configuration script in SDK. The WProofreader browser extension users can enable or disable the extension via the UI settings.

Text operations

Text operations provided by AI writing assistant (AIWA):

• Shorten: Sentence compression is the process of reducing the length of a sentence while preserving its core meaning, clarity, and grammatical correctness.

• Expand: Sentence expansion refers to the process of taking a basic or simple sentence and making it more detailed or complex, often by adding additional information or clarification. The goal of sentence expansion is typically to provide more context, enrich the content, or enhance the clarity and descriptiveness of the sentence.

• Rewrite: The goal of enhancing the text while preserving its original meaning, which can often be achieved without altering every sentence. This approach aligns with the prompt's instruction to optimize for a balance between conciseness and detail, as unnecessary changes could detract from the text's clarity and coherence.

• Improve: The process of sentence improvement involves refining a sentence to make it more effective in conveying its intended message. This process can encompass several objectives, from enhancing clarity and coherence to optimizing for a particular style or audience.

• Make formal: The process of changing the formality (tone and style) used in a sentence from informal/neutral to formal.

• Make informal: The process of changing the formality (tone and style) used in a sentence from formal/neutral to informal.

• Summarize: The process of making a high-level narrative or abstract that summarizes the key points of the original text.

• Proofread: The process of reviewing and correcting written material to improve accuracy, consistency, and quality.

The default prompts are manually crafted and tested for optimal results. Cloud users can't change them, while users of the self-hosted version can technically adjust the existing prompts, but we can't guarantee consistent performance if they do so.

Security

AIWA functionality is based on foundational models, including Anthropic and other vendors hosted on Amazon Bedrock. Read here about the Anthropic Responsible Disclosure Policy.

We don't collect user data in order to create a custom model. We collect only cases related to the Acceptable use policy violation, e.g. when the model’s outcome contains harmful or biased content, with the aim of eliminating the probability of such cases in the future. These cases are not used for model training either.

User manual

The AI writing assistant if enabled can be launched by selecting the text (at least 100 characters), an orange badge will popup allowing the user to go into the selection of text operations.
