Describe the text you need in a line, say who will read it, and list the points it has to make. Hemmingway writes that text, whatever it is: a notice, an announcement, a paragraph for a form, a description, a caption. You get one finished version, not three options with notes.
It works from your description and nothing else. A date, a name or an amount you did not type will not appear, so put every fact the reader needs in the points box.
What makes it work
- Name the kind of text and where it goes. "A notice for the hallway" and "a post for the residents' group chat" come out differently, and should.
- Say who reads it. Neighbours, customers and a planning officer each need a different amount of explaining.
- Give points, not adjectives. "Lift off Monday to Wednesday" is something it can use. "Make it informative" is not.
- Add a length if it has to fit somewhere. A word limit on a form, one screen on a phone, half a page.
An example
Asked for a friendly, short notice for the hallway of a block of flats, saying the lift is off Monday to Wednesday next week for repairs, the stairs are by the bin store, and anyone who needs shopping carried up can knock at number 4, a notice along these lines is what to expect:
Lift out of order next week
The lift will be off from Monday to Wednesday for repairs. The stairs are by the bin store.
If you need shopping carried up, knock at number 4.
If you know what kind of text it is
A form built for one job asks better questions. Use one of these when it fits:
- an email: the AI email writer
- a text or a chat message: the AI message generator
- a letter: the AI letter writer
- a shop listing: the product description generator
- something to say out loud: the speech generator
- fiction: the story generator
Common questions
Is the AI text generator free?
Yes. Hemmingway has a free trial with no card needed, and this tool opens it with your answers filled in. You sign up once, and the text is written in the chat.
What can an AI text generator write?
Any short piece of writing you can describe: notices, announcements, descriptions, emails, messages, letters, captions and short speeches. Hemmingway-1 is built for writing, and it is better at short pieces than at novels.
Will it sound like AI?
It is built not to. Hemmingway-1, the model behind it, came first on sounding like a person in our own blind test, Human-Likeness. It still helps to read it aloud and change any word you would not use.
Can it write text in other languages?
Hemmingway-1 is English-first. For another language, have a fluent speaker read the result before you use it.
Can I trust the facts in the text?
Only the ones you gave it. It is told to use your points and add nothing, but it can still get something wrong and sound certain, so read the result against your notes. Do not rely on it for medical, legal or money decisions.
