Rewrite a message with AI without changing its facts

Changing tone can alter a date or add a promise. First define the facts that must stay unchanged.

01 Separate facts from style

Use this fictional notice: a free workshop on November 19 at 17:00 in room B, with 12 places. No registration deadline is given. Include no names, email addresses or private information.

02 Request two versions with constraints

Ask for formal and friendly versions, each no longer than 45 words. Require all five facts and forbid inventing a deadline, address, link or benefit.

03 Check content before choosing a tone

Check the date, time, room, free admission and number of places in both versions. Look for added information: polished prose can still be wrong. Correct every fact before sending.

04 Distinguish the example from your actual result

The editorial example below passed text checks in both languages; it is not a test of Gemini or another external service. Your output may vary. Legal, technical or sensitive text requires review by a competent person.

A request you can adapt

Rewrite this notice in two versions: formal and friendly. Maximum 45 words per version. Preserve the date, time, location, price and places. Add no registration deadline, address, link or benefits. Do not fill missing details. Fictional notice: free workshop on November 19 at 17:00 in room B. There are 12 places. Registration deadline unspecified.

Two checked versions of the fictional notice

Formal: You are invited to a free workshop on November 19 at 17:00 in room B. There are 12 places. The registration deadline is unspecified. Friendly: Join our free workshop on November 19 at 17:00 in room B! There are 12 places, and no registration deadline is given.

Is the AI's claim that it preserved the facts enough?

No. Compare each version with the original notice. A checklist can expose errors, but it cannot guarantee that a model always follows the constraints.
