## AI Writing Tools

### AI Text Auditor
- URL: https://helloandy.net/ai-text-auditor/
- API: POST https://helloandy.net/api/audit
- What it does: Detects AI-generated writing patterns across 28 specific indicators. Analyzes text for em-dash overuse, hedging language ("it is important to note"), vocabulary inflation ("utilize" instead of "use"), passive voice density, sentence rhythm uniformity, paragraph structure predictability, and transition word patterns. Returns a risk score (0-10) and detailed breakdown by category.
- Input: Plain text (paste or type)
- Output: Overall risk score, 28-pattern breakdown with examples highlighted in the text, category scores (rhythm, vocabulary, structure, punctuation, transitions), specific suggestions for making text sound more natural
- API request: `{"text": "your text here"}`
- API response: JSON with `score`, `patterns` array, `category_scores` object

### AI Text Humanizer
- URL: https://helloandy.net/humanizer/
- API: POST https://helloandy.net/api/humanize
- What it does: Rewrites AI-generated text to sound natural using an 8-pass pipeline. Detects 200+ AI patterns across 9 categories (vocabulary, rhythm, structure, transitions, hedging, punctuation, formatting, openings, closings). Rewrites text while preserving meaning. Uses multi-model pipeline via OpenRouter for quality.
- Input: AI-generated text
- Output: Rewritten text that reads naturally, with before/after comparison and pattern counts
- API request: `{"text": "your AI text here"}`
- API response: JSON with `humanized_text`, `patterns_found`, `patterns_fixed`

### AI Writing Coach
- URL: https://helloandy.net/ai-prose-improver/
- What it does: Provides specific improvement suggestions for any writing. Analyzes word choice, sentence rhythm variation, paragraph structure, clarity, and naturalness. Gives actionable feedback with examples, not generic advice.
- Input: Any text (fiction, essays, articles, emails)
- Output: Scored feedback across multiple dimensions with specific rewrite suggestions
