MacStories' ChatGPT Proofreading Prompt
Earlier this week in the Club MacStories+ Discord, members were discussing Grammarly’s acquisition of Superhuman and what it means for both services. I chimed in to say that I suspect Grammarly is looking to expand its AI services because its core spelling and grammar checking functionality is under pressure from AI chatbots. Even small, on-device models like Apple’s do a relatively good job at catching spelling and grammar mistakes.
Plus, if you subscribe to an AI service like ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini, it’s possible to tailor your spelling and grammar checking workflow to meet your particular needs. That’s what we’ve done at MacStories with ChatGPT. Our proofreading setup is particular to what we write about, so readers probably wouldn’t want to copy it as-is. However, it’s a good starting point and an example of how spending a little time on prompting and customization can go a long way with any chatbot, so I thought I’d share it today.
