Your prompt

Tighten the paragraph below. Keep its meaning and its author's voice — don't flatten it into generic prose. Cut filler, throat-clearing and redundant qualifiers; keep every fact and number exact. After the rewrite, list what you changed and why, as short bullets (e.g. "cut 'in order to' — filler"). If the paragraph's point is genuinely ambiguous, say so instead of guessing at what it meant. Paragraph: In order to be able to provide better service to our customers, we have made the decision to go ahead and implement a new system that will help us to more effectively manage the various different requests that come in on a regular basis.

Model-agnostic — works in Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or any AI chat.

Why this prompt works

  • Asking for the changes to be listed after the rewrite makes the edit auditable — you can tell whether it improved the paragraph or just changed it.
  • "Keep the author's voice" is stated as an explicit constraint because tightening prompts default to a bland, corporate register otherwise.
  • The ambiguity clause stops the model from silently picking one reading of a vague sentence and rewriting confidently around that guess.
