AI TEXT CLEANUP
Clean ChatGPT formatting without rewriting the answer
An AI response can be useful yet awkward to paste into an email or document. Bold section labels, short bullet lists and conversational sign-offs are presentation choices. You can change those choices without asking another model to rewrite the answer.

Open AI Text Cleaner ↗Choose Light tidy or Natural prose
Light tidy removes Markdown wrapping and smooths extra spaces in prose. It keeps readable list markers and link URLs by default. Natural prose also removes recognised chat openings and sign-offs at the boundaries of a response and turns simple top-level bullets into separate paragraphs.
The presets change settings, not your input. Use Compare original to review the source, or choose Light tidy again to restore the conservative settings.

Keep steps different from prose
A set of short observations may read better as paragraphs. A numbered procedure depends on order, and a checklist depends on its checked state. Natural prose leaves numbered steps, checklists and nested list structure intact by default.
The example below removes two conversational paragraphs and bullet markers, but keeps both numbered instructions. It does not add transitions between the paragraphs or improve their argument.
Review wording that is removed
Chat-framing removal uses a small set of exact whole-paragraph patterns at the beginning or end, including “Sure!” and “I hope this helps!” It does not search the body for phrases to delete. A sentence such as “I hope this helps explain the uncertainty” is not removed.
When an opening contains a meaningful condition, quotation or source reference, leave it in place. Compare the original even when a phrase looks routine.
Treat punctuation as an editorial choice
Replace em dashes with commas is off by default. A comma can work in some sentences and break the grammar in others, so enable it only if you will review each change. Code, link labels and destinations, blockquotes, tables and footnote definitions are excluded from this punctuation edit.
Formatting is not evidence of authorship. This tool does not detect AI writing, guarantee a detector result, fact-check claims or rewrite the voice. Review the substance yourself before publishing.
Choose the next destination
Copy the plain-text result for an email or form that should use its own styling. If you want rendered headings, links and tables, switch to Formatted text or open Markdown to Rich Text instead.

Chat framing and numbered steps
