### "Not Impressed with the Suggestions" — 3.0/5

> **RAEGAN** | *10 January 2024* | Utilities | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I did like the capability of being able to create ai generated writing, however the suggested writing was not able to be edited enough like other platforms.  I couldn't suggest different writing types. It was a good solid program if that style fit your needs.
> 
> **Cons**: It was not able to be edited multiple times to customize the ai generated writing.
