Common rephrase mistakes & quick fixes

The 8 failures we see most — and how to fix each in under 10 seconds.

Meaning drift — output says something different

Fix: Technical terms got swapped. Paste them back in and re-run. Or switch intent to "Clearer" which is more conservative than "Simpler".

Output is nearly identical to input

Fix: Change intent or tone. If your input is already polished, the model has nothing to fix. Try "More engaging" or "Shorter".

Tone overcorrected — formal became stilted

Fix: Avoid stacking intents with tones. "Formal" + "Academic" reads as stiff. Use one strong signal at a time.

Industry jargon stripped out

Fix: Add a note like "keep technical terms: X, Y, Z" to your input. Or switch intent from "Simpler" to "Clearer".

Passive voice persists

Fix: Set intent to "More engaging" — it explicitly targets active voice. Combine with "Authoritative" tone for best effect.

Output is grammatically wrong

Fix: Rare, but happens on very short or poorly punctuated inputs. Punctuate the input and add a trailing period.

Academic voice lost

Fix: Use "Academic" tone AND "Clearer" intent. Without "Academic" tone, the AI defaults to conversational voice.

Output changed numbers or facts

Fix: The model should preserve numbers but can paraphrase around them. Double-check any statistic, date, or dollar figure in the output.
