AI Output Quality Filter for Workplace Comms
The Problem
Professionals in marketing, sales, and consulting teams (over 100M global knowledge workers per Statista 2025) face backlash against detectable AI-generated 'slop' in emails and chats, with 68% of executives reporting reduced trust per Gartner 2025 survey. No tool offers real-time pre-send filtering in Slack/Teams/browser, forcing manual reviews that waste 2-3 hours/week per employee. Current spend on related AI detection/writing tools exceeds $2B annually (per market reports), but fragmented across detectors without workplace integration.

Free for 2,000 words/month; Pro $9.99/month for 25,000 words
