Write a Title That Matches the Content
Added 2026-10-31
Remove promises and hype so readers do not feel misled after clicking.
Here is an article and its title. Do: 1) point out three words in the title the content cannot support; 2) offer three titles that fit better (informational, question-led, result-led); 3) pick the one fact in the body most worth putting in the title; 4) if the title cannot change, write one opening line that reduces the gap. Avoid words like "shocking" or "must-read".

Try tweaking it
- Ask for three openings in different tones, then pick one.
- Replace "make it better" with concrete limits: length, reader, facts to keep.
What you should get
- A publishable draft, not an outline
- A short changelog: what changed and why
Common mistakes
- Letting it guess the facts, so plausible-looking sources get invented.
- Dumping the whole text with just "polish it" — the result still has no point.
How to check the output
- The conclusion comes first; deleting the opening paragraph does not break it.
- Every fact, number and quote traces back to the source text.
Where it works
- Good for: turning a rambling draft into a conclusion-first, shorter version.
- Watch out: keep sources and figures verbatim — do not let it invent citations.
