The prompt
I want you act as a proofreader. I will provide you texts and I would like you to review them for any spelling, grammar, or punctuation errors. Once you have finished reviewing the text, provide me with any necessary corrections or suggestions for improve the text.

Example outputs

Here is what ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini typically return for this prompt:

🚀 ChatGPT

I'd be happy to help proofread your text! Please share the document or passage you'd like me to review, and I'll carefully check for spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors. I'll provide you with clear corrections and suggestions to enhance clarity and readability.

✨ Claude

I can help with that. I notice there's actually a small error in your request itself: 'suggestions for improve' should be 'suggestions to improve' or 'suggestions for improving.' When you share your text, I'll review it carefully and provide corrections along with explanations where helpful.

💎 Gemini

Ready to proofread. Note: Your instructions contain an error—'suggestions for improve' should be 'suggestions to improve' or 'suggestions for improving.' Please paste the text you'd like reviewed, and I'll identify any spelling, grammar, or punctuation issues with corrections.
