A looping demo. In a chat app someone types a sloppy one-line request for a landing page. First Try rewrites it into a long master prompt with labelled sections (Role, Goal, Context, Audience, Task, Output, Constraints, Done when) and it is sent. Then two chats are compared. Without the tool the assistant asks questions, produces a generic draft and starts over, using about 9,600 tokens over four turns. With the tool it produces a polished page in one turn, using about 2,400 tokens. The token counts are examples.

What happens when you press the keys

It reads your draft and the chat around it

Your rough line, the conversation so far and what is on your screen. It knows what you mean before it writes a word.

It asks only what it can't work out

Three quick questions at most, each with answers you can tap. Skip them if you like.

Every vague word becomes a clear instruction

You type one rough line. The prompt it writes tells the AI what to make, who it is for and when it is done.

You stay in charge

It writes the prompt. What happens to it is up to you.

  • It never sends for you. The rewrite lands in your chat box. You press send, and Undo brings your own words back.

  • Nothing made up. Facts come from what you wrote and what is on your screen. Anything it doesn't know stays a visible blank.

  • Say it instead. On a Mac you can talk to it. Say "make it shorter" and the prompt changes.

Better answers, and we measured it

We sent the same requests to an AI twice, once as typed and once rewritten, and compared the answers.

59%

Better answers

Across 37 test conversations, the answer to the rewritten prompt was the better one 59% of the time, and equal 24% of the time.

75%

On the first message

A brand-new chat gains the most, because the AI knows nothing about you yet. There the rewrite won three times in four.

Questions at most

It only asks when the answer changes the result, and every question comes with answers you can tap.

Questions people ask first

What does First Try do?
It rewrites what you typed to an AI into a clearer, more complete request, so the AI gives you a better answer the first time. You type a rough line, press ⌥⇧P, and your draft is replaced with the improved prompt. Then you send it yourself.
Who is it for?
Anyone who uses ChatGPT, Claude or another AI for emails, school, work, travel or everyday questions and doesn't want to learn "prompt engineering". You don't need to know what makes a good prompt. That is the part it does for you.
Is it free?
It is free to try: about 25 rewrites, with no card. After that, Pro is €20 a month for about 200 rewrites, and you can cancel from the app at any time.
Which apps does it work in?
Almost anywhere you can type on a Mac or a Windows PC: the ChatGPT and Claude apps, your browser, Slack, Mail, Notes. The app you're typing in doesn't need to support it. The rewrite comes back in the language you wrote in.
Does it send messages for me?
No. It puts the rewritten prompt where your draft was and stops. Sending is always your action, and Undo restores what was there before.
What happens to my text and my screen?
Only when you press the keys, your draft and one picture of the window you're in are sent to our server, passed to the AI that writes the rewrite (Anthropic's Claude), and returned. We don't store or log what you write or what was on your screen. The privacy policy has the details.
How do I install it?
Mac: open the downloaded file, drag First Try into Applications and open it from there. The first time, macOS says it could not check the app. Choose Done, open System Settings, go to Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway. It asks once. The app then walks you through two permissions it needs to read and replace your draft. It needs macOS 13 or later.

Windows: open the downloaded installer. If Windows shows "Windows protected your PC", click More info, then Run anyway. It needs Windows 10 or 11.
How do I get help?
Write to [REPLACE: support email] and tell us which app you were typing in. We read everything.
