Re-Write

Generate, edit and refine text with AI

Re-Write

What is Re-Write?

Re-Write is a focused writing environment that pairs a modern TipTap editor with AI-driven rewriting, style controls, and a template system. You can upload a document to seed a brief, generate a first draft aligned to your StyleConfig, then refine through inline edits or targeted chat operations. When you’re happy, export in the formats your workflow needs.

AI Drafts
Turn a brief into a structured Markdown doc that matches your style template.

Granular Controls
Headings density/depth, length, genre, tone, POV, reading level, toggles.

Clean Exports
Markdown, HTML, DOCX, and optional PDF with minimal, predictable markup.

Feature Set

Upload-to-Brief

  • Drag-and-drop or select files to extract text into the brief
  • PDF via pdf.js, DOCX via mammoth, spreadsheets to CSV via xlsx
  • HTML/RTF/JSON/TXT/MD supported

AI Generation

  • Transforms your brief + StyleConfig into Markdown
  • Deterministic vs creative modes (via creativity control)
  • Respects heading limits, length targets, and toggles

Inline Editing (TipTap)

  • Modern rich-text experience with keyboard shortcuts
  • Lists, headings, inline code, quotes, tables (TipTap TableKit)
  • Diff-friendly: exports clean Markdown/HTML

Exports

  • One-click: Markdown (.md), HTML (.html), StyleConfig (.json)
  • DOCX/PDF pipeline optional (server or client add-on)
  • Predictable structure for downstream tooling

Instructions

  1. Write or upload a brief. The brief guides the AI.
  2. Set style controls (headings, length, genre, tone, POV, reading level, toggles).
  3. Click Generate to produce a first draft (Markdown).
  4. Edit inline with TipTap or use Chat for targeted changes.
  5. Export when ready: MD/HTML (and optional DOCX/PDF).

Supported Inputs

  • TXT / MD / HTML / RTF / JSON
  • DOCX (via mammoth)
  • PDF (via pdf.js)
  • XLS/XLSX (sheets converted to CSV blocks)

Style Controls

The StyleConfig JSON drives generation and chat edits. Every control is persisted in templates so teams can standardize tone and structure.

Structure

  • Headings density (0..1) and max heading depth (1..6)
  • Numbered headings toggle
  • Table of contents toggle

Length & Readability

  • Target length (words)
  • Reading level (grade 4..14)
  • Summary toggle for executive outlines

Style

  • Genre (technical, blog, tutorial, whitepaper, fiction…)
  • Tone (formal, neutral, casual, playful, persuasive…)
  • Point of view (first/second/third)
  • Region (en-AU, en-US, en-GB)

Formatting Toggles

  • Bold, lists, tables, callouts
  • References, examples, analogies
  • Code snippets
  • Creativity (mapped to model temperature)

Templates

Save your StyleConfig (and description/metadata) as a template for repeatable results. Templates are downloadable JSON files and can be imported to share presets across teams and projects.

Save as Template

  • Capture current StyleConfig + title/description/category
  • Exports a JSON file and stores locally for quick reuse

Import Templates

  • Load multiple templates from a JSON pack
  • Merges with existing local templates

Chat Editing

Chat requests compile into minimal, surgical operations on the current Markdown (insert, append, find-replace, or replaceAll by explicit request). This preserves your layout while accelerating edits.

Structure

  • “Add a ‘Summary’ section at the start.”
  • “Insert ‘Risks & Mitigations’ after ‘Architecture’.”

Style & Tone

  • “Rewrite the intro for a non-technical audience.”
  • “Change POV to second person and reduce jargon.”

Formatting

  • “Convert key points into a table with two columns.”
  • “Turn the ‘Next Steps’ section into a numbered list.”

Targeted Replace

  • “Replace all ‘MVP’ with ‘alpha release’.”
  • “Tighten the ‘Background’ section by 30%.”

Note: A dedicated Undo/Redo history is maintained for AI chat operations so you can safely explore edits.

Technical Overview

  • Frontend: React (Vite) + Tailwind-style utilities
  • Editor: TipTap (StarterKit, Link, Placeholder, TableKit)
  • AI: OpenAI Chat Completions (model e.g. gpt-4o-mini)
  • File Parsing: pdfjs-dist (PDF), mammoth (DOCX), xlsx (XLS/XLSX), custom HTML/RTF/TXT/MD
  • Exports: Markdown/HTML client-side; DOCX/PDF via optional pipeline
  • Templates: JSON (download/import), plus local persistence

Shortcuts & Tips

Generation

  • Use a terse, goal-oriented brief (problem, audience, outcome).
  • Dial headings density up for more scannable docs.
  • Lower creativity for deterministic updates.

Editing

  • Use chat for structural moves; edit sentences inline in TipTap.
  • Keep sections short; prefer lists/tables for comparables.
  • Export early to verify downstream formatting.
