Writing Modes

BeLikeNative offers five core writing modes. Select text on any website, press your shortcut, and choose a mode.

Rewrite

Completely rewrites your text while preserving the original meaning. Produces a fresh version with different sentence structure and vocabulary.

Before: “I wanted to inform you that the meeting has been moved to next week.”

After: “Just a heads up — the meeting’s been pushed to next week.”

Best for: Email drafts, social media posts, essays, any text that needs a fresh take.

AI Model: GPT-5.4 mini

Paraphrase

Rephrases your text to say the same thing differently, staying closer to the original structure than Rewrite.

Before: “The results of the experiment were not what we expected.”

After: “The experiment yielded unexpected results.”

Best for: Avoiding repetition, academic writing, simplifying complex text.

AI Model: GPT-5.4 mini

Translate

Translates selected text into your target language. Context-aware — understands idioms, slang, and cultural nuances. 55 languages supported.

English: “Looking forward to hearing from you.”

Spanish: “Quedo a la espera de su respuesta.”

Best for: Reading foreign websites, translating your own writing, cross-language communication.

AI Model: GPT-5.4 mini

Humanize Premium

Makes AI-generated text sound natural and human-written. Removes robotic patterns, varies sentence rhythm, and adds natural flow.

Before: “In conclusion, it is important to note that effective communication plays a crucial role in professional settings.”

After: “Bottom line: how you communicate at work matters more than most people think.”

Best for: Polishing AI-generated drafts, making formal text sound conversational.

AI Model: Claude Sonnet 4.6 (Premium only — the most capable model for natural language)

Adjust Tone

Rewrites text to match a specific tone while preserving the core message.

Available tones: Professional, Casual, Friendly, Formal, Confident, Empathetic, Direct, Diplomatic.

Direct: “Send me the report by Friday.”

Diplomatic: “Would it be possible to have the report ready by Friday? That would really help with the timeline.”

Best for: Adapting emails for different audiences, softening blunt messages, making casual text more professional.

AI Model: GPT-5.4 mini

Keyboard Shortcuts

Using Your Shortcut

After selecting text on any website, press your keyboard shortcut to open BeLikeNative. The extension popup appears with all available modes.

Customizing Shortcuts

Open chrome://extensions/shortcuts in your browser
Find BeLikeNative in the list
Click the pencil icon next to any shortcut to reassign it
Press your desired key combination

Tip: Avoid conflicts with existing browser shortcuts like Ctrl+C or Ctrl+V.

Right-Click Menu

Prefer using your mouse? Right-click on selected text and find BeLikeNative in the context menu. All writing modes are available from there.

Creating Custom Shortcuts

You can assign dedicated keyboard shortcuts to your most-used prompts and modes. Go to BeLikeNative Shortcuts to manage your custom shortcuts.

Custom Prompts & Prompt Packs

What Are Custom Prompts?

Go beyond the five default modes. Custom prompts let you define your own writing instructions — “Make this a LinkedIn post,” “Simplify for a 5th grader,” “Convert to bullet points,” or anything else you can describe.

Creating a Custom Prompt

Go to Add New Shortcut
Give it a name (e.g., “LinkedIn Style”)
Write the instruction (e.g., “Rewrite this as a professional LinkedIn post. Use short paragraphs, a hook opening, and end with a call to action.”)
Optionally assign a keyboard shortcut for one-key access
Save

Tips for Effective Prompts

Be specific — “Rewrite as a formal business email” works better than “make it better”
Include constraints — “Keep it under 100 words” or “Use simple vocabulary”
Give examples — “Use a tone similar to: ‘Hey team, quick update…'”

Prompt Packs

Pre-built collections of prompts for specific use cases. Browse available packs at Prompt Packs — including packs for academic writing, business email, social media, and more.
