How De-slop works

  1. Step 01

    Every sentence is read

    Each one is marked as content or padding, with the kind of padding: filler, inflated wording, hedging, set-piece rhetoric, recap or hype.

  2. Step 02

    Empty sentences go first

    A sentence that carries nothing is cut without a rewrite, as long as the passage still reads as whole text.

  3. Step 03

    The rest is rewritten

    Passages with padding left are rewritten one at a time, with the whole document as context, so details inside the padding stay.

  4. Step 04

    Facts are checked

    Numbers are compared in code; lost, changed or added facts are caught. A passage that cannot pass keeps its words.

Options

Paste a few paragraphs you wrote. The rewrite matches their rhythm and word choice, never their content.

Questions

Will humanized text pass an AI detector?

That is not what it is built for. De-slop humanizes AI text for the person reading it: shorter, plainer, no padding. It adds no typos, randomness or tricks, and it never promises to fool a detector.

What if the draft has no slop?

Passages without padding are left exactly as they are, and you are told so. You only get changes where something was wrong.

Can it remove a whole paragraph?

Yes, when every sentence in it is padding and it holds no number, date or name. The side-by-side view shows what went.
