Does Some of What It Claims Well; Some Things, Not So Much

I create a lot of video content, so repurposing that long-form content into blog posts was attractive to me, and that's why I bought this product. It does some things well, but others not so much.

From a Youtube link, the tool imports the video into the SAAS platform, and creates a blog post from the tool's analysis of the transcript. Then you can use the AI checker to "humanize" the content if it doesn't pass the built-in AI detector tool (hint: none of the content produced passes the AI checker tool) and this is when the trouble starts. Once the content is "humanized," it contains a LOT of mistakes that need to be corrected, such as misplaced commas, use of semi-colons rather than colons, and other grammatical oddities that no competent English speaker who has graduated middle school would produce in the written word. So then I have to go through the ENTIRE blog post and fix it all, which greatly increases my work and time to produce a blog post. It would be great if this could somehow be fixed, because I just can't have these errors in my blog posts, and never had them when I was merely uploading a mildly-edited form of the video transcript in it's entirety.

It does save me a bit of time because I can set it to embed the video to be embedded into the blog post in the initial setup, which is nice.

I also had issues with the feature "import automatically to your blog using the API" and the response from Support was basically, "Oh, yeah, it looks like from the logs that you've had a problem. Good luck with that, it may be one of your plugins." This after I described in detail which security plugin I disabled to allow the API password feature, and all the other trouble-shooting I had done. Please, at least act like you care about helping me to solve my problem.

In short, a good tool in concept, and I may end up keeping it, but I feel like it's got a ways to go as far as fulfilling their promised core features in a way that actually works for the customer or client.

Thanks for the review. Apologies for the humanizer errors. We use a third party provider to detect AI content and humanize it (Undectable). I will bring up those issues to them, but if you have any recommendation of another provider we can use, I'm all ears. I would like to mention that you don't have to use the humanizer if it's giving undesirable results and we also save a revision before humanizing so you can revert back to your previous version if your results aren't desirable.

Regarding your issues with the Wordpress plugin, as I mentioned in our emails I absolutely care about helping you, but the issue is on your website and that's something I obviously don't have access to help you debug it.

Update: I offered to jump to on a zoom call to help debug the issue with your website and have not got a response back.
