Who this page is for
For writers, marketers, job seekers and teams editing Claude-generated material they are permitted to use. Especially useful when a sound first draft needs a clearer voice, tighter structure or a better fit for its reader.
Start with the instructions Claude was given
Before rewriting, compare the draft with your original prompt. Separate requirements from preferences: an exact product dimension is a requirement; a friendly tone is a preference. Note the intended reader, format, length and action you want them to take. If Claude answered the wrong question, correct the brief rather than polishing the mismatch.
Look for problems in this particular draft, not supposed fingerprints of every Claude response. Repeated summaries, ceremonial introductions and excessive qualifications can appear in human writing too. Remove them only when they obstruct the message. Keep qualifications that express real uncertainty, especially in technical, legal or health-related material.
Check sources before making the prose smoother
Treat factual statements in a Claude draft as claims to verify. Open each cited source and confirm that it supports the adjacent statement. Check the author, publication date and relevant passage; a plausible title or working link alone is insufficient. If you cannot access the evidence, flag the claim rather than making it sound more authoritative.
Create a short protected-details list before using Humanizely: quotations, citation markers, dates, dimensions, prices and numerical results. Compare these details afterward. Keep each citation attached to the claim it actually supports. Never turn an association into a cause, a forecast into a result, or a team's achievement into an individual's. Smoother wording cannot repair missing evidence.
Revise for the genre, then review Standard output
For an email, lead with the request and retain the deadline. For an article, replace broad scene-setting with a specific point and remove conclusions that merely repeat it. For a résumé, use precise contribution verbs instead of adding leadership or impact the candidate cannot substantiate. Natural writing is appropriate to its setting, not automatically casual.
Submit a focused passage to Humanizely in Standard mode, then compare the output with the source draft. The free allowance is 500 words per request; divide longer documents at meaningful section boundaries and review transitions afterward. Read the result aloud, restore necessary terminology and remove invented personal touches. You remain responsible for accuracy, permission to use the material and any required AI disclosure.
