Why Ludwig is different

Most AI tools just generate text. Ludwig shows you how to write better.

Long text & short text modes

From quick edits to full manuscripts, Ludwig adapts to you

Writing a 200-page dissertation isn't the same as polishing a quick email. Switch between long text mode for deep work and short text mode for fast edits—Ludwig adapts to your task, not the other way around.

With Ludwig grammar tools like Editor and Grammar Check, you can seamlessly check and improve your English.

Can Ludwig correct essays?

Ludwig Editor provides you with all you need to get your essay ready to be handed in: ask to check the entire text for grammar mistakes and typos, or select personally which sentences you want to scan. You may receive alternative phrases in different styles, or use the AI tools integrated in Editor to make your essay longer, shorter, or just less convoluted.

What’s the difference between Grammar Check, Rewrite, and Editor?

Grammar Check is Ludwig’s tool for a quick grammar check and typo correction on phrases or short sentences, not longer than 260 characters.

Our AI Editor tool is an essay checker and essay editor, which means it corrects grammar, checks for typos, and rephrases convoluted writing of texts way longer than 260 characters.
