The Elusive Search for the Perfect AI Editing App

Most of them miss the mark


Anyone has suggestions for in-background AI-based document editing apps? I don't need the app to tell me what to write next. What I'm looking for is an app that suggests changes like, 'This needs rephrasing to connect well to another section,' or 'Merge these two repeated sections.' 

I think my gripe with AI writing tools is that they're very generative rather than being aids for editing.

It's like someone misunderstood the term generative AI and decided that content generation is its best use. But writing a 5k+ token paper in my voice? That's a whole other ball game. It would need a strong mix of vectorization, concept mapping, segmentation, and context addition to be truly helpful as an editor.

I understand that achieving this level of sophistication is extremely difficult. Still, I find myself continually trying out these tools, secretly hoping for a miracle because, let's face it, I hate editing.
