Tips & Tricks

TIP

Use the 'Custom Instructions' in Pro to teach it your writing style (e.g., 'avoid jargon,' 'use active voice') for more personalized outputs.

TIP

For long-form content in Google Docs, use 'Expand' on individual bullet points, then use 'Polish' on the full section for a cohesive flow.

TIP

On LinkedIn, right-click your draft post and use 'Improve' to get multiple version options, from punchy to detailed.

TIP

When replying to complex emails, first use 'Summarize' on the thread, then generate a reply based on that summary for perfect context.

TIP

Create a 'Blog Outline' custom prompt to instantly structure ideas before you start writing in your CMS.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the free plan actually useful, or just a teaser?+
Honestly, it's quite useful. The 20 daily actions are enough for light email and social media use. I tested it for a week and found it viable for casual users, but power writers will need Pro within a day or two.
How well does it really understand context in Gmail or LinkedIn?+
In my experience, it's impressive. In Gmail, it references the sender's name and key points from the email you're replying to. On LinkedIn, it knows you're crafting a post, not an email. It's not perfect, but it's context-aware enough to be valuable.
Can I use it for academic writing or essays?+
Yes, but with caveats. The 'Expand' and 'Polish' features are great for developing ideas and cleaning up prose. However, always use the Pro plagiarism checker and do your own fact-checking, as it can occasionally 'hallucinate' references or data.
What's the biggest drawback you found during daily use?+
My biggest gripe is its confinement to the browser. I often draft in other tools and can't use WritingMate there. Also, when a website's code is complex (like some CMS backends), the extension button sometimes doesn't appear reliably.
Would you personally pay for the Pro plan?+
Absolutely. As someone who writes dozens of emails, social posts, and document drafts weekly, the unlimited access and advanced features like custom prompts and plagiarism checking are worth the $10/month. The free plan is a demo; Pro is the real tool.
