Bettertext is your AI writing toolbox

Highlight any text on any website. A toolbar appears over your selection with the writing you need next: rewrite it, cut it down, open it out, change the tone, translate it or answer it. You never leave the page.

An email, mid-sentence. The highlighted part is selected:

Hi Dana, thanks for the note. i wanted to reach out and say that we probably wont be able to make the deadline because of some stuff that came up Talk soon, Sam

With Rewrite:

Hi Dana, thanks for the note. I wanted to let you know that we're unlikely to meet the deadline, because a few unexpected issues came up. Talk soon, Sam

Add to Chrome

Free to install. Works on every site you type on.

What you can do with a selection

Rewrite, so it says what you meant

Select a sentence you are not happy with and get a clearer version of it. Same point, fewer knots, and it still sounds like you wrote it.

What you wrote

the thing im trying to say is that this approach probably isnt going to work for us long term

What comes back

What I'm getting at is that this approach won't hold up for us in the long run.

Set the tone before you hit send

The same message reads differently to a client and to a teammate. Choose casual, formal, business, professional or friendly, and Bettertext rewrites it at that register.

Friendly

Just a heads up, running about ten minutes late. Start without me.

Formal

I will be approximately ten minutes late. Please begin the meeting without me.

Answer an email without leaving the email

Select the message you were sent and Bettertext drafts the reply in your mailbox, where you are already reading it. Add a line of your own instruction when the answer needs a detail only you know.

What you wrote

Are you able to join the vendor call on Thursday morning, and can you bring the Q3 numbers?

What comes back

Thursday morning works. I'll bring the Q3 numbers with me and send them round beforehand so everyone has them.

Also on the toolbar: Summarize · Continue writing · Translate · Answer a question · Reply to a message · Your own prompt

The same message, as long as it needs to be

Shorten cuts a message down without losing the point. Expand opens a short note into something you can send. Both keep your meaning and your voice.

So after talking to the team we think the launch should probably move to March, mostly because the payment flow still needs another round of testing before we're comfortable.

Summarize, 9 words

Launch moves to March. Payments need another test cycle.

Shorten, 16 words

We're moving the launch to March because the payment flow needs one more round of testing.

What you wrote, 29 words

So after talking to the team we think the launch should probably move to March, mostly because the payment flow still needs another round of testing before we're comfortable.

Expand, 52 words

After talking it through with the team, we think the launch should move to March. The main reason is the payment flow: it needs one more full round of testing before we're comfortable putting it in front of customers, and rushing that step is the one risk we don't want to take.

Anywhere you can select text

Bettertext is not another tab you paste into. It works on the page you are already on, in Gmail, X, Reddit, Quora, WhatsApp Web, Discord, and anywhere else you write.

Questions people ask

What does Bettertext do?

Bettertext is an AI writing toolbox that lives in your browser. Select text on any web page and a toolbar appears over your selection: rewrite it, shorten or expand it, summarize it, continue it, translate it, set the tone, reply to an email or a message, answer a question, or run a prompt of your own.

Which websites does it work on?

Any website. It is used most in Gmail, X, Reddit, Quora, WhatsApp Web and Discord, but the toolbar appears wherever you can select text.

Do I have to paste my text into another tab?

No. Bettertext works on the page you are already on, so an email you are answering stays in your mailbox and a reply you are writing stays in the thread.

Which browsers does it support?

Chrome and Edge. You install it from the Chrome Web Store, and it is there on every site you type on afterwards.

Does it help if English is not my first language?

Yes. Select what you have written and Bettertext returns it with the grammar and structure corrected, which is the main reason people who write in English as a second language use it.

What does Bettertext cost?

Premium is $12.95 a month, or $9.95 a month when you pay annually, which saves 23%. Premium includes unlimited responses and every action on the toolbar.

Put the toolbar on every page you write on

Install it once in Chrome. The next time you select a sentence anywhere, the actions are already there.
