TL;DR: An English professor fine-tuned an OpenAI model to correct English exactly the way he would correct it, the same every time, and made a free online tool so you can use this to help you improve your English writing.
If you’re learning English, you’ve probably tried using ChatGPT to improve your writing skills. While ChatGPT is a powerful AI tool, it has limitations that make it less ideal for English learners. That’s why I created a new AI writing tool specifically designed for learning English writing.
The Challenges of Using ChatGPT for English Writing
As an English professor who has corrected thousands of essays, I’ve seen how ChatGPT can cause more confusion than clarity for students. Here are some of the key issues:
Overcorrection
ChatGPT often rewrites sentences unnecessarily, even when only minor corrections are needed. This can confuse learners by altering the original meaning unnecessarily. For instance, instead of fixing a single word, it may rewrite the entire sentence.Context Misunderstanding
AI sometimes misses the point of what you’re trying to say. For example, a student might write, “I pour eye drop when it come to say about my son.” The intended meaning is “I cry when I talk about my son.” However, ChatGPT might say, “I become emotional,” or worse, interpret it as “I use eye drops.”Inconsistent Answers
Ask the same question twice, and ChatGPT might give you completely different responses. This inconsistency is confusing for learners who need clear and stable guidance.Difficult Conversations
ChatGPT’s responses can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially for beginners. Long, complex answers in advanced English can leave learners feeling lost and frustrated.Inconvenient Storage
Keeping track of your corrected writing on ChatGPT can be difficult. This can lead to losing progress and wasting time searching for previous writing.
How Our AI English Writing Tool Solves These Problems
I’ve spent over eight years helping students improve their English writing. Using my experience and a large database of common writing mistakes and corrections, I fine-tuned an OpenAI language model to create a tool that directly addresses these challenges.
Here’s how it works:
Precise Corrections
Our tool makes minimal changes to sentences, fixing only what’s necessary. This helps students understand exactly what was wrong without altering the original meaning unnecessarily.Clear Context
The AI understands the meaning behind your sentences and provides corrections that align with your intended message. No more guessing or receiving unrelated suggestions.Consistency
Unlike ChatGPT, this tool provides consistent answers. Whether you ask the same question today or next week, the corrections will remain reliable.Inspiration at Your Fingertips
Struggling with what to write? The tool offers question prompts and an Inspire Me button to generate ideas, vocabulary, and sentence structures. For instance, a question like “Do you like flying on airplanes? Why or why not?” can spark inspiration for writing.Built-in Writing Storage
Every piece of writing you submit is stored in one place. You can revisit your past entries, review corrections, and even mark your favorites for quick access. This ensures that your progress is never lost.
Let’s look at a real example:
A student writes, “I pour eye drop when it come to say about my son.”
- ChatGPT: “I use eye drops” or “I become emotional.”
- Our Tool: “I cry when I talk about my son.”
The corrections are clear, accurate, and consistent, without unnecessary rewrites. This approach builds confidence and helps learners truly understand their mistakes.
Additionally, learners can view all their previous writing and notes, making it easier to track their progress and focus on specific areas for improvement.
