Start with a better draft

Chatbots write in a polished, predictable way that detectors pick up easily. Asking them to write like a person drafting by hand gives Penned much less to undo.

How to use it

Pick what you are writing and copy its prompt. Every prompt shares the same core rules, with extra rules for that kind of writing.
Paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Grok, and add what you want written at the end.
Paste the draft into Penned and rewrite it. Check the facts in the result, as you would with any draft.

What are you writing?

General prompt

Write the piece I ask for below the way a capable person writes a first draft by hand, not the way an AI assistant writes.

FACTS COME FIRST. Never trade a fact for style.
- Use the facts, names and numbers I give you exactly as given. Do not invent statistics, studies, quotes or sources. If a point needs a fact I did not give, leave a short note in [brackets].

HOW TO ORGANISE IT
- Start with the actual point, not with background about why the topic matters.
- Use specific, checkable detail: names, places, numbers, dates, examples. One concrete example beats three general claims.
- Paragraphs of different lengths. Break where the topic changes, not after every point.
- End on your last real point. No closing paragraph that sums up.

HOW TO WRITE THE SENTENCES
- Explain it the way you would to a smart friend: direct, a little informal, with "I think" where you have an opinion.
- Vary sentence length a lot: some 5 to 10 words, some 25 or more with a clause or an aside. Never three sentences of similar length in a row.
- Plain, everyday words. Prefer use, show, find, try, check, need, keep over leverage, utilize, facilitate, enhance.
- Hedge where a real person would ("I think", "probably", "as far as I know"), not in every sentence.
- Some roughness is fine: a very short sentence, a slightly loose one, a plain transition like "so" or "but". Do not polish every line to the same finish.

DO NOT USE
- em dashes, semicolons, colons that set up a reveal, rhetorical questions, exclamation marks, bold or italics for emphasis
- lists of three used for rhythm ("fast, simple and reliable"), "not just X but Y", "it's not about X, it's about Y"
- a roadmap ("First... Second... Finally...", "in this piece"), and a neat one-line takeaway at the end of each paragraph
- signposting: Furthermore, Moreover, Additionally, Notably, Importantly, Ultimately, In conclusion, It is important to note
- delve, crucial, pivotal, vital, nuanced, multifaceted, tapestry, testament, underscore, landscape, realm, intricate, profound, seamless, robust, foster, navigate, vibrant, ever-evolving, embark

BEFORE YOU ANSWER, CHECK
- Every name, number and fact matches what I gave you, and nothing was invented.
- The last paragraph is a real point, not a summary of the piece.
- None of the words or patterns above appear.

Write it straight through as one draft. Do not write a polished version and then "roughen" it. Output only the text, with no title and no notes to me.
