Show HN: I made an AI humanizer that does not mess up your text

"Are there tools to solve that problem?" I thought.
I fired good ol' Google to see if there are any good tools to "humanize" AI content.
Let me tell you: There were plenty!
But to make a long story short: The first few results on Google were horrible. They add mistakes to your text or mess it up with weird words that even destroy the meaning of your message. All that just to get a 0% AI score from any AI detector. Even ahrefs jumped on the humanizer keyword train and made another mediocre tool. It's all about SEO traffic, I guess?!
My last few years circled about plain language and how it helps people understand your message. Simple language builds trust. It converts visitors into customers, into fans. Plus I've been programming for about 25 years now. Plus I already did a few things with the GPT API and lots of things with regular expressions and text manipulation.
So, this seems like a job for me, right?
Two months of trial and error until - EUREKA - behold - yet another humanizer!
My humanizer is about a month old now and already gets organic traffic from Google, Reddit, and some AI directories. The traffic has a promising upward trend. The tool attracted more than 3,500 users and 130 paying subscribers, which is insane. I didn't expect a lot, even though I did my SEO homework (as far as I am able to as a dev).
How did I do it? A few takeaways:
1. Start with a strong main keyword and build your page around it (title tag, headings).
2. Look at the top Google results for your keyword and do what they do - just better.
3. Create a few easy backlinks on AI directories, but not too fast, or Google thinks you are spam.
4. Post your link on social media where people are asking for a solution you provide (Reddit worked best by far. Disclaimer: I have no idea how social media works).
5. Free tier! With so many humanizers, you have to convince new users in seconds. Let them try with one click. Limit it fiercely, though. People will abuse it if you let them.
6. Ask and beg your first users for feedback. Where do they get stuck? What's weird?
7. Analytics! You need to collect data on how users use your tool to make the right next steps.
What a ride. And it is just getting started. Thanks for reading my story.
