Nice attempt to use AI as a translator, it seems to translate from English to other languages but not vice versa. Am I wrong? I will try it. Kudos for the idea rewritepal seems promising.

Feature suggestion: it would be great if you can high hight and explain (maybe mouse over the highlighted part) how the original sentence was improved/correct grammatically.

I'm sorry for being ignorant but how does this work? Is there an LLM underneath? Does it use ChatGPT? If so, how do you maintain the privacy and how are you able to cover expenses? I'm just curious, it looks pretty great though.

Hey! Yeah, it runs on an open-source llama3 image, and since the requests aren’t too wild, it costs me about $2 a month to keep it up. Thanks!

I see, thanks for the info! I played with it for a bit and I really enjoy the results. A dark mode would be amazing to have but still great job!
