As a content writer, I'm always on the lookout for tools that can help me with my writing process. That's why I was excited to try out Essaygenius.ai, a tool that promises to help writers generate high-quality content quickly and easily. However, after using the tool, I have to say that my experience was far from positive. In this article, I'll share my thoughts on Essaygenius.ai and explain why I had such a horrible experience using it.
Before diving into my experience with Essaygenius.ai, let's take a look at what the tool promises to do. According to the company's website, Essaygenius.ai is an AI-powered writing assistant that can help writers create better content in less time. The tool uses natural language processing (NLP) technology to understand the writer's input and generate high-quality content that is free of errors and plagiarism.
The tool's main features include:
On paper, these features sound great, and I was excited to try them out for myself. However, my experience with Essaygenius.ai didn't quite live up to the promises made by the marketing materials.
When I first logged onto Essaygenius.ai, I was greeted with a clean, user-friendly interface. The tool's main screen provided me with two options: "Write your essay" or "Edit your essay." Since I wanted to try out the auto-writing feature, I chose the former.
Next, I was prompted to enter my essay topic or question. I entered "How to write a killer blog post" and click on the "Generate essay" button. The tool quickly got to work and generated a paragraph of text that served as an introduction to my essay.
The paragraph was grammatically correct and free of spelling errors, but it lacked coherence and didn't really address the topic I had entered. I tried entering different prompts and questions, but the results were always the same: a generic introduction paragraph that didn't really address the specific topic I had entered.
The tool also gave me the option to "rephrase" the generated content, which I thought might help me get more relevant results. However, when I clicked on this option, the tool simply generated a different, equally generic introduction paragraph.
Overall, my experience with the auto-writing feature was frustrating and disappointing. The tool's inability to generate relevant and coherent content meant that it wasn't really useful for my writing process.
In addition to the lackluster results generated by the auto-writing feature, I also had concerns about the quality of the output generated by Essaygenius.ai in general.
When I used the tool to edit some of my own writing, I found that it often made incorrect suggestions for changes. For example, the tool suggested changing "I have two cats" to "I have two vehicles," which is obviously not what I meant.
I also found that the tool's suggestions for word choice and phrasing were often overly formal and stilted, which didn't fit with the more casual tone I was going for in my writing.
Finally, I was concerned about the accuracy of the tool's plagiarism detection feature. When I ran some of my own writing through the tool, it flagged several instances of plagiarism that were clearly not instances of actual plagiarism. This made me question the accuracy of the tool's other features since it seemed to be making mistakes even in areas where I had direct knowledge.
Given the issues I had with Essaygenius.ai, I decided to reach out to customer support to see if they could help me resolve some of my concerns. I sent an email detailing my experience and expressing my frustration with the tool.
To their credit, I did receive a response from customer support within a few hours. However, the response I received was generic and didn't really address any of the specific concerns I had raised. It seemed like the customer support team wasn't really equipped to handle the kinds of issues I was experiencing.
After using Essaygenius.ai for several hours, I have to say that I would not recommend this tool to other writers. While the idea behind the tool is promising, the execution falls far short of the mark. The auto-writing feature is not able to generate relevant and coherent content, and the editing and proofreading features are often inaccurate and overly formal.
In addition, I was concerned about the accuracy of the tool's plagiarism detection feature, which flagged several instances of non-existent plagiarism in my own writing.
Finally, while the customer support team did respond to my concerns in a timely manner, their response was not particularly helpful or tailored to my specific concerns.
Overall, I would recommend that writers look elsewhere for tools to help them with their writing process. There are plenty of other AI-powered writing assistants out there that are more effective and better suited to the needs of writers.
