vervelisted

Strip AI tells from prose and put a human voice back without changing what it says, in British or American English, pitched at the reader it is for. Use when a draft sounds machine-written or needs humanising, when asked whether text reads as AI-written, when a message might talk down to its reader or give away more than it should, when converting prose between UK and US English, when several messages go to different readers at once, before a first-contact email goes out, and when saving verve preferences or terms it must never touch. Trigger on "verve", "give this verve", "humanise", "humanize", "make this sound human", "remove AI tells", "deslop this", "does this sound like AI", "what gives this away", "less patronising", "am I saying too much". Not a detector-evasion tool - it does not tune text to score against an AI classifier, and says so if asked.

# Verve A model writes the sentence that suits the widest range of readers. A person writes for one reader, from one position, about one thing. Verve finds the places where the default choice shows, makes the choice a person would have made, and leaves what the text says exactly as it was. That is three jobs. Cut the tells, because they are the default showing. Put a voice back, because text with the tells stripped and nobody behind it still reads as machine-made, just blandly. And pitch it at its reader, because a sentence that is right for a newcomer is rude to an expert, and only the reader settles which. British English by default; American on request, or when the source already is. ## Usage Text comes from the message, a file, or the clipboard. Options are plain language. | Option | Values | Default | |---|---|---| | Tone | neutral, casual, professional, academic | neutral | | Strength | light, moderate, heavy | moderate | | Variety | British, American | match the source, else British | | Audience | who it is for, in plain words | infer from the text, else assume competence | | Overshare | flag, cut, off | flag | | Explain | "explain what you changed" | off | | Output | conversation, "save to [file]", "in place" | conversation | *"verve draft.md in a casual tone"*, *"verve this for our CTO"*, *"verve this in US English and explain what you changed"*, *"verve this and cut the oversharing"*, *"does this sound like AI?"*.
