Generic Phrase Detection 🚩

Generic phrases are vague, overused expressions that weaken your content. Phrases like "take it to the next level" or "best-in-class solution" sound professional but say nothing specific. The Inspector flags these so you can replace them with concrete, impactful language.

Why Generic Phrases Hurt

Your audience has heard these phrases thousands of times. They tune them out. Specific, concrete language stands out and builds trust.

Common Generic Phrases

"Take your business to the next level"

"Best-in-class solution"

"Unlock your potential"

"Cutting-edge technology"

"Seamless integration"

"Revolutionary approach"

"Game-changing results"

"Synergize your workflow"

How Detection Works

  1. AI Analysis — Content is scanned for known generic patterns.
  2. Context Awareness — The system understands when a phrase is actually appropriate.
  3. Highlighting — Generic phrases are underlined in orange.
  4. Suggestions — Click for specific replacement recommendations.

Better Alternatives

"Take your business to the next level" →

"Increase revenue 25% in Q1" or "Cut customer churn in half"

"Cutting-edge technology" →

"Built on GPT-4" or "Uses real-time data sync"

"Seamless integration" →

"Connects to Slack in 2 clicks" or "Auto-syncs with your CRM"

💡 Pro Tip

When replacing generic phrases, use numbers, timeframes, or specific outcomes. "Save 5 hours/week" beats "save time" every time.
