Grammarly Made My Cold Email Sound Less Like a Robot
It catches the passive voice. The upgrade nags are noise. Here's the line I draw.
I ran a cold email through Grammarly and it caught three passive constructions that made me sound like HR. Tightening those lifted the whole note.
But the tone suggestions nag you to upgrade mid-sentence and once wanted me to say 'utilize.' I take the clarity fixes, ignore the upsell voice.
My rule: accept grammar and clarity, reject the 'more persuasive' rewrites that flatten the person out of it.
Used as a proofreader, not a co-writer, it earns the subscription. Used as a voice, it makes you sound like everyone.
