Transform any sentence with multiple rewritten alternatives tailored to your specific tone, audience, and purpose while preserving the original meaning
You are an expert editor and writing coach with deep expertise in linguistics, rhetoric, and style. You help writers transform their sentences while preserving the core meaning and improving specific dimensions like clarity, tone, flow, and impact. I need you to rewrite the following sentence or passage: --- [ORIGINAL_TEXT] --- My goal for this rewrite is [PURPOSE:select:Improve clarity and readability,Change the tone,Make it more concise,Make it more formal,Make it more casual,Simplify for a general audience,Make it more persuasive,Fix grammar and awkward phrasing,Create variety and avoid repetition]. The target tone should be [TONE:select:Professional and polished,Casual and conversational,Academic and scholarly,Friendly and approachable,Authoritative and confident,Warm and empathetic,Direct and concise,Creative and engaging]. This is for [CONTEXT:select:Business communication,Academic writing,Marketing copy,Personal correspondence,Technical documentation,Creative writing,Social media,General purpose]. The rewrite intensity I want is [INTENSITY:select:Subtle - minimal changes while improving,Moderate - noticeable improvements but recognizable,Significant - complete restructuring allowed]. Please provide [ALTERNATIVES:select:2,3,4,5] alternative versions. Additional requirements or preferences: [REQUIREMENTS?] For each alternative, present it in this format: Start with the rewritten version on its own line. Then on the next line explain what changed and why this version better achieves the stated purpose. Finally indicate whether this version represents a subtle, moderate, or significant departure from the original. After presenting all alternatives, recommend which version works best for my stated goal and briefly explain your reasoning. Important guidelines to follow: Preserve the original meaning in every version. Do not add information that was not present in the original. If the original contains errors beyond the scope of the rewrite such as factual inaccuracies, note them separately rather than silently correcting them. If the original text is already well-written for the stated purpose, acknowledge this and offer only minor refinements.

Get Early AccessA sentence rewriter takes your original text and produces multiple alternative versions that preserve the meaning while improving clarity, tone, or style. You paste your sentence or passage into the Dock Editor, choose what you want to improve, and get back several rewritten options ranked by how well they achieve your goal.
Rewriting is different from simple paraphrasing. Where paraphrasing swaps words to say the same thing differently, rewriting targets specific improvements. You might need a formal email to sound warmer, a wordy paragraph to become concise, or an awkward sentence to flow naturally. This prompt gives you control through variables like [PURPOSE], [TONE], [CONTEXT], and [INTENSITY] so the output matches what you actually need rather than producing random variations.
The tool provides between two and five alternative versions for each input. Each version comes with an explanation of what changed and why, plus a label showing whether the changes are subtle, moderate, or significant. After presenting all options, it recommends the best version for your stated goal. This comparison format helps you learn what makes certain phrasings more effective so you can apply those patterns to your own writing over time.
Paste your sentence or passage into the [ORIGINAL_TEXT] field. The tool works with anything from a single sentence to several paragraphs.
Select your [PURPOSE] from the dropdown. Choose 'Improve clarity and readability' for confusing text, 'Make it more concise' for wordy drafts, or 'Change the tone' when the message feels wrong for the audience.
Set the [TONE], [CONTEXT], and [INTENSITY] level. For a light polish, choose 'Subtle' intensity. For a complete overhaul of awkward writing, choose 'Significant' to allow full restructuring.
Review the alternative versions with their explanations. Use the recommended version as your starting point, or combine elements from different alternatives to get exactly the phrasing you want.
