Getting Started with BotWash
Learn the basics and start transforming your text in minutes. BotWash helps you transform AI-generated text into natural, human-sounding writing.
What is BotWash?
BotWash is a text transformation platform that uses community-created formulas to make AI-generated text sound more natural and human-like. Think of it as a car wash for your AI text:
- Formulas are like wash programs - each one applies a series of transformations
- Operations are like soap and polish - individual cleaning steps
Quick Start
- Create an account
Sign up to start using BotWash. You can sign in with your email and password, or use Google OAuth for quick access.
- Choose a formula
Browse our Formula Hub to find a formula that matches your needs. Each formula shows what transformations it applies and how many operations it includes.
- Transform your text
Paste your text, select a formula, and click Transform. You will see a before/after comparison with detailed diffs showing exactly what changed.
- Review the results
Check the output and the Detailer's Report to see what changed and why. You can toggle individual operations on/off to fine-tune the results.
Core Concepts
Formulas
Formulas are recipes for text transformation. Each formula contains a series of operations that run in order. You can:
- Use public formulas created by the community
- Create your own private formulas
- Remix existing formulas to customize them
- Publish formulas for others to use
Operations
Operations are individual transformation steps. BotWash includes 100+ operations organized into 11 categories:
- Structure & Flow - Sentence structure, paragraph breaks, lists
- Tone & Style - Adjust formality, add empathy, remove marketing speak
- Clarity & Simplicity - Remove jargon, reduce redundancy, simplify language
- Find & Replace - Pattern matching, emoji handling, special characters
- Polish & Correctness - Grammar, spelling, punctuation, capitalization
- Numbers & Data - Format numbers, currencies, dates, units
- Format & Markup - Handle markdown, HTML, code blocks
- Removal & Redaction - Filter profanity, redact PII, strip metadata, clean URLs
- SEO & Web - Optimize for search, meta descriptions, keywords
- Accessibility - Alt text, readability, screen reader optimization
- Content Transform - Summarize, expand, translate, rewrite
Runs
Each time you transform text, you create a run. Runs track:
- Formula and version used
- Execution time and status
- Metrics (word count, reading level, etc.)
- Timestamp and metadata
