ClarifierAI is an iOS keyboard extension that rewrites, shortens, formalizes, or translates text directly inside any app — Gmail, WhatsApp, iMessage, LinkedIn, Slack — without copy-pasting to a separate tool. It highlights changed words individually so you can revert specific edits rather than accepting or rejecting the whole rewrite. The extension supports 113 languages for translation and applies multiple tone styles (professional, casual, concise, persuasive). Unlike AI writing tools that live in separate apps or web tabs, it hooks directly into the iOS keyboard so the friction between drafting and AI polishing is eliminated. The granular word-level undo is the differentiating feature: most AI rewrite tools show you a before/after and force a binary choice. ClarifierAI lets you keep 'the client called' but revert 'and was disappointed' back to your original phrasing. That level of control turns it into an editing collaborator rather than a replacement.

Reviewer scorecard
“The keyboard extension model is the right approach for mobile AI writing — context switching to a separate app kills the workflow. Word-level undo is also a genuinely smart UX decision that I haven't seen elsewhere. The 113-language support is impressive; tested it on technical Japanese documentation and it held up.”
“The integrations are solid but the API is limited. If you want custom workflows beyond their pre-built integrations, you'll hit walls. Fine for standard use cases.”
“iOS keyboard extensions have always had friction with enterprise apps — many corporate MDM policies block third-party keyboards, and for good reason since they technically have access to everything you type. The 'no keylogging' claim is standard but unaudited. I'd verify the privacy policy very carefully before using this anywhere sensitive.”
“Transcription accuracy is 95%+ for clear English. Drops to ~80% with heavy accents or crosstalk. The sentiment analysis feature is a nice touch for sales teams.”
“The keyboard is the last interface layer before human intention becomes digital text — whoever owns it owns a uniquely powerful position. As AI writing assistance moves to be ambient and always-available, the keyboard extension model will outcompete dedicated apps. ClarifierAI is early but the positioning is right.”
“Word-level granular undo changes the relationship with AI writing assistance from 'accept or reject' to actual collaboration. As someone who writes a lot from mobile, not having to copy text to a separate app and back is genuinely meaningful. The tone modes (casual → professional) are well-tuned — not as robotic as most AI rewrites.”
“I run 8+ client calls per week. Fireflies transcribes, summarizes, and sends action items to my project management tool automatically. Saves me 5+ hours weekly.”
