How is RefineMyDraft different from ChatGPT?
ChatGPT gives you a chat reply. RefineMyDraft is a purpose-built workflow. It reviews your work paragraph by paragraph and returns a Word document with every correction tracked and explained, generates personal statements adapted to the application you're making, reshapes documents to an exact word count and prepares likely interview questions. All saved to your history.
Is RefineMyDraft free?
You get a 30-day free trial, no subscription needed. When it ends, your first month as a subscriber is free too, so payment doesn't start until later. After that it's £5/month for 4,000 word credits, and you can cancel any time.
What file types can I upload?
Upload a Word (.docx) file or paste your text directly. You receive your reviewed document back as a Word file with tracked changes and margin comments. Open it in Microsoft Word and accept or reject each change individually.
Can it shorten or expand my essay to a word count?
Yes, that's WordShaper. Tell it your target word count and it reshapes your document, cutting or expanding while preserving your argument, tables, images and voice. It checks feasibility before any credits are used.
Can it write my personal statement?
Yes. Paste your CV and your application details, choose a purpose such as job, university, visa or other, then set a target length. The AI adapts the statement to that purpose, writes it to your exact word count, and adds likely interview questions with STAR hints. Only the statement words are charged; the advice is free.
