About
Plainspoken takes the rough sentence you were going to type into an AI and rewrites it into one that works. Then it tells you what it changed and why, because the goal is that you stop needing it.
It's built for people who keep being told this technology will change everything, and who have so far found it mostly annoying. That's not a you problem. Nobody was handed the instructions.
- What happens to what I type?
- It's sent to an AI model to be rewritten, and the result comes back to you. There are no accounts, so nothing is tied to your name. Even so — don't paste in passwords, card numbers, or anything you'd mind a stranger reading. That's good practice with any AI tool, not just this one.
- Does it cost anything?
- No. There's a cap on how many rewrites one person can run in an hour, which keeps the bill survivable. If you hit it, wait a bit.
- Will it write the thing for me?
- No, and that's deliberate. It writes the instruction. You take that to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or whatever you already use, and that tool does the work. This is the bit that goes before.
- Can I trust what the AI tells me afterwards?
- Not blindly. A better prompt gets you a better answer, not a guaranteed true one. These tools state wrong things with total confidence. For anything that matters — medical, legal, money — check it against a real source or a real person.
- Who made this?
- Robert Sweetman built it, working with Claude Code, an AI coding tool from Anthropic. The person decided what it should do and how it should treat you; the AI wrote most of the code. The rewrites themselves come from AI models made by Anthropic, Google, and Mistral, reached through a service called OpenRouter. The code is public at GitHub, so you can check any of this.
