ProWritingAid

The long-form writing report: style, pacing, repeats and grammar across a novel or a thesis — Grammarly's denser cousin for people who will not ship a first draft.

Product preview

Overview

ProWritingAid existed before ChatGPT and still earns its seat: not a chatbot that rewrites the page, a report that tells you the same adverb showed up forty times and chapter three is all dialogue. Novelists and thesis writers keep it because Grammarly's sentence-level nits miss the book-level problems.

AI rewrites arrived later and are optional. The core is still the dense report, which is slower and more useful than a green underline. If you write emails, this is overkill. If you write 80,000 words, it is the tool that survives the LLM wave.
