FirstEdit is designed to fit after a document has been drafted but before a human reviewer opens it. FirstEdit ensures the text that reaches your review team is clean of mechanical house style, terminology and brand compliance issues, so that people can focus on communication.

Workflows vary across sectors and organizations but a typical workflow might look like this:

  1. Document is drafted (by a person, an AI tool, or a combination).
  2. FirstEdit runs a first-pass edit, applying your house style and returning a tracked-changes document.
  3. A human reviewer opens the document, accepts or rejects FirstEdit’s changes, and handles the flagged comments.
  4. The reviewer focuses their attention on content, argument, tone, and structure.
  5. Use interactive review tools. This could include PerfectIt to run a final consistency check before the document is published or submitted or Microsoft Editor or Grammarly to fix spelling and grammar.
  6. Submit
