What is editGPT?

editGPT is a writing and editing tool based on ChatGPT. Its official positioning is "a powerful AI editor that proofreads, edits and improves your writing", and it particularly emphasizes the ability to "track changes in Word" — each modification can be viewed, accepted or rejected just like a human editor. It emerged at a time when AI writing tools were producing a lot of "one-click rewrites", and its differentiator is making AI changes a visible and reviewable process, rather than directly replacing the original text. Official data shows it has over 200,000 users and a total of 15.4 million edits generated. The page also quotes a user review: "I canceled my Grammarly subscription". The product is free to get started, and offers three paid plans: Pro, Elite and Business, as well as a custom plan for enterprises and institutions. For those who need to make English manuscripts more authentic or polish Chinese expressions into more formal and written language, five levels of intensity provide a complete gradient from "minor adjustments" to "rewriting". The official visually displays the modification range of each level with percentages.

Who is it for?

Writers, editors, and international students who need professional-level proofreading and revision traceability management, especially those who are used to using Word's review process and wish to retain records of every modification; as well as users who feel that ordinary rewriting tools are "too opaque in changes and dare not directly adopt them". Transnational teams that need bilingual Chinese-English documents, and writers who need to keep records before delivering manuscripts to clients, can all benefit from this. Users preparing "final draft" materials such as personal statements for study abroad applications and resumes can clearly see what problems exist in their original texts through revision tracking.

Key features

Five-level Editing Intensity

The official categorizes the depth of modifications into five levels: grammar correction (approximately 5%), proofreading (approximately 10%), naturalization (approximately 15%), improvement (approximately 30%), and rewriting (approximately 40%), which can be selected according to needs.

Track Changes

The official version states that you can view, accept, or reject each individual change in Word, making it suitable for processes that require manual review and record-keeping.

Multilingual Editing

It is claimed that you can edit in your own language and it is not limited to English.

Deep Integration with ChatGPT

Operates as a browser extension within the ChatGPT web interface and leverages its model capabilities to perform editing tasks.

Public Data Disclosure

The official displays statistics such as the number of active users, cumulative editing times, and the quantity of prompt words, which can verify the product's activity.

How to use editGPT

For daily texts, first use the "Grammar Correction" or "Proofreading" version, and for important manuscripts, use the "Improvement" version and check each item one by one.
when you need to leave the revisions for others to review, export the tracked revision version in Word.
Position it as an "editing assistant" rather than a "writing tool", and the benefits will be more stable.
With long-term use, you can accumulate sentences with frequent revisions into your own expression library, and gradually reduce reliance on the tool.
Compare the outputs of different levels to find the intensity suitable for your own corpus, and after forming fixed collocations, process similar manuscripts in batches.

Things to know

It is a third-party tool that relies on the ChatGPT web interface and account system. You need to log in to use it and consume model credits. It may be temporarily unavailable when the login status expires or the ChatGPT interface is updated. The functional differences between the free and paid tiers shall be subject to the official website's pricing page. The editing results are generated by AI. Semantic modifications beyond grammar may lead to misjudgments; the more you move towards the "rewrite" tier, the greater the scope of changes and the higher the risk of altering the original meaning. In academic writing scenarios, each modification suggested by the AI must be evaluated individually—one-click acceptance of all changes is not recommended. Special caution is required regarding citation standards and plagiarism checks. The editing history and drafts are processed by the third-party service. If you are dealing with unpublished papers or commercial materials, first confirm its data processing and retention policies.
