About BeLikeNative
BeLikeNative is a browser extension for Chrome aimed at professionals who work in English as an additional language. A user selects text in an email or message, presses a keyboard shortcut and receives the sentence back in clear, natural English, along with a note on what was fixed.
The tool covers grammar fixing, paraphrasing, summarizing, simplifying, tone changing, translation, punctuation fixes, instant replies, humanizing AI-written text and APA and MLA citations. It runs inside web apps such as Gmail, Outlook, Slack, LinkedIn, Google Docs and Microsoft Teams, and the vendor also sells prompt packs.
BeLikeNative is a hosted commercial product with a free plan that allows five rewrites a day after signing in with Google, plus paid plans described on a pricing page. It runs in Chrome on laptops and desktops.
