Example Output
Input: "The company has implemented a new system which enables them to better serve there customers more effectively and efficiently."
Feedback:
- Grammar: Change "there" to "their" (possessive)
- Redundancy: Remove "more effectively and efficiently"—pick one verb or combine the idea
- Wordiness: Simplify "has implemented a new system which enables them to" → "now"
Revised: "The company now better serves their customers."
Input: "The main character in the story felt really bad about what happened, and this made him want to change his ways because he realized that being bad was bad."
Feedback:
- Vague emotion: Replace "really bad" with specific emotion (guilty, ashamed, devastated)
- Passive delivery: Show consequence through action rather than explaining "this made him want to change"
- Circular logic: "being bad was bad" adds nothing—remove
- Weak verb: "felt" can be stronger based on your chosen emotion
Revised: "Guilt consumed the main character. He vowed to become the person his actions had destroyed."
