What our users say about Sparks:

Amazing. The ProWritingAid Team has done it again. You are making it easier for us writers all the time. [...] I am surprised about the quality of the suggestions. I like it a lot.

I had a hard-to-read paragraph, so I clicked on the icon for Sparks, clicked Readability, and a revised paragraph was displayed. [...] Sparks actually makes the process enjoyable! I can’t wait to use some of the other features! Great job, PWA!!

Very cool and the sensory option is really useful. I struggle with writing descriptions the most, so I will absolutely use this!

Will Sparks store my data?

Your data is safe with us. We don’t feed your text into the AI that generates the Sparks suggestions, and we don’t use your text to train any of our algorithms.

Is Sparks generative AI?

Sparks uses AI to help you work with your writing, but it isn’t designed to generate large amounts of prose for you.

Sparks focuses on specific changes you might want to make to your existing writing, giving you examples you can learn from and adapt. Whether you’re trying a different POV, adding sensory detail, improving fluency, or changing the tense, the aim is to help you see what’s possible so you can make your own decisions as a writer.

Where can I use Sparks?

You can use Sparks in several of ProWritingAid’s integrations, including the online web editor, Desktop Everywhere for Windows and Mac, the Chrome, Firefox, and Edge extensions, and many others.
