Zia Roasted My Proposal (But Made It Better)
I was wrapping up a client proposal. It had all the right ideas… but the tone? The grammar? The vibe? A hot mess.
And then Zia popped up inside Zoho Writer and said (not in so many words, but still):
“This is a mess, babe.”
Rude. Accurate. Exactly what I needed.

Zia, the AI Editor Inside Zoho Writer
As I was typing, Zia started doing her thing:
- Flagged awkward phrasing
- Cleaned up grammar and punctuation
- Highlighted passive voice
- Suggested stronger, more concise verbs
- And—this part kinda hurt—told me my tone was “formal and distant”
I rewrote a few lines using her suggestions, changed the tone to sound more like me, and the final version? Way better.
