Vary the rhythm of your sentences
AI drafts tend to keep sentences a similar length and shape, which reads smoothly but flat. Go through a paragraph and mark each sentence short, medium, or long. If they’re all medium, that’s the problem: chop one into two, or combine two short ones with a comma and a connecting thought, until the paragraph has an actual rhythm to it.
Compare: “The new process improves efficiency and reduces errors across the workflow, which benefits both the team and the client.” versus: “The new process is faster. It also catches mistakes the old one missed, which the team noticed within a week, and the client noticed in their invoice.” Same information, but the second version has a short opening statement, a real detail, and a specific consequence, instead of one long sentence doing everything at once.
Cut the hedges and stock transitions
Scan for stock transition words, the ones you reach for out of habit rather than because the sentence needs them. Most of the time you can cut the word entirely and the sentence reads better, because it was gluing two ideas together that could just sit next to each other, or connect with a plain “and”, “but”, or “so”.
Hedges are a separate problem: phrases like “this may suggest” or “arguably”, stacked up, let a piece of writing avoid ever actually claiming anything. State your actual view. If you’re genuinely unsure, say so once, specifically, rather than hedging every sentence out of habit.
Add one concrete detail, then read it aloud
The single highest-value edit is usually the smallest: take a vague, general claim and attach one specific fact to it, a number, a date, a name, an anecdote. “This approach saves time” becomes “this cut our review time from three days to one.” Specificity is what a person with actual knowledge sounds like; vagueness is what a summary of a summary sounds like.
Then read the whole thing aloud. Your mouth catches things your eye skips over, an unnaturally even rhythm, a sentence that’s technically fine but nobody would actually say out loud. If you stumble on a sentence because it’s a mouthful, a reader will stumble on it too.
NeverPrompted runs this exact pass automatically: an on-device model targets uneven sentence rhythm and stock phrasing in your own draft, at a strength you choose. The Free plan includes a weekly token budget for this; Pro gives you unlimited rewriting with a better on-device model, plus a dated PDF report of what changed.
Wherever this page describes a result: a detected mark is not proof of authorship, and an absent mark is not proof of human authorship. NeverPrompted's on-device rewrite can reduce detectable evidence but cannot guarantee defeating a vendor's undisclosed watermark, on any tier.
