A prompt that eliminates AI-sounding filler words works by adding a banned-word list, tone constraints, and a self-check instruction to your existing prompts. On aidowith.me, the Improve AI Outputs route walks you through building one in 11 steps over about 60 minutes. You'll start by identifying the 20 most common AI filler words (overused AI phrases, hedging language, and generic openers) and adding them as explicit exclusions. Then you set a sentence-length range (8 to 20 words) to prevent the long, winding constructions AI defaults to. The prompt also includes a self-review step where the AI checks its own output against your rules before delivering it. Testing across 5 different content types shows the approach cuts filler by 90% on the first output. Users report their edited content drops from 15 minutes of cleanup to under 3 minutes. The route gives you a reusable "clean output" module you can add to any prompt.

The Problem and the Fix
Without a route
- Every AI draft needs 15 minutes of editing to remove filler words and corporate jargon
- Colleagues and clients spot AI-written text instantly because of predictable phrases
- You've tried telling AI to 'sound human' but the outputs still feel generic and stiff
With aidowith.me
- A banned-word list plus tone constraints that cut filler by 90% on the first draft
- A self-check instruction so the AI reviews its own output before delivering it
- A portable 'clean output' module you plug into any existing prompt

How It Works
Build your banned-word list
Identify 20 AI filler words and phrases your outputs keep using. Pull them from your last 10 AI drafts and list them as explicit exclusions.
Set tone and length constraints
Add rules for sentence length (8 to 20 words), paragraph length (2 to 4 sentences), and tone (direct, no hedging). These prevent AI's default verbosity.
Add the self-check instruction
Tell the AI to review its output against your rules before delivering. Test on 5 content types and measure how much filler remains.

Questions
Yes. The approach uses plain-text instructions (banned-word lists, tone rules, self-check steps) that work in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and any other LLM. You don't need special features or plugins. The route tests outputs across multiple tools to confirm consistent results. The route provides clear guidance at every step so you can move from setup to results without guesswork.
No. The route balances constraint with variety. You set a sentence-length range (8 to 20 words), not a single target. You also allow specific transition words and natural connectors. The result reads like a competent human writer, not a telegram. Testing on 5 content types confirms readability stays high. The route provides clear guidance at every step so you can move from setup to results without guesswork.
Review it monthly. AI models change over time and develop new default phrases. Spend 10 minutes reading your latest AI outputs and noting any new filler patterns. Add them to the list. The route includes a tracking template that makes monthly updates quick. The route provides clear guidance at every step so you can move from setup to results without guesswork.
