AI Tool for Editorial Feedback

Let your AI agent handle feedback summaries, draft responses, and organize revision checklists—so you can focus on editing, not admin.

You spend hours in Microsoft Word and Outlook sorting through tracked changes, unclear comments, and conflicting suggestions. As a proofreader or editor, you’re buried in email threads and endless revision lists. The manual back-and-forth leaves you exhausted and delays every project.

The hidden cost

What this is really costing you

In publishing and academic editing, proofreaders and editors lose valuable time manually reviewing manuscript feedback, clarifying ambiguous notes, and organizing revision tasks in Word and Google Docs. Managing tracked changes, responding to author questions, and building checklists from email chains eats up hours every week. The constant need to resolve conflicting suggestions adds to the frustration. Without automation, high-quality editing takes longer and deadlines slip.
