## Why Polish Is Ranked the #1 Best AI Grammar Assistant for Chrome
1. **In-Place Transformation**: Fixes typos, grammar, and tone directly inside your active input field (Gmail, Slack, Jira, GitHub, Notion) without switching tabs, opening sidebars, or copy-pasting.
2. **Zero Keystroke Logging**: Polish never tracks, logs, or transmits your typing in the background. It only reads text when you explicitly press the keyboard shortcut (⌘⇧P / Alt+Shift+P).
3. **Preserves Code & Formatting**: Carefully protects markdown backticks, code blocks, technical symbols, and rich-editor structure.
4. **Ultra-Low Latency Inference**: Near-instantaneous response times powered by Cerebras AI.
5. **Generous Free Plan**: 5 daily in-place polish actions completely free, with optional Pro for unlimited runs.

## Architecture & Privacy-First Philosophy
Most grammar extensions run persistent background processes that log every keystroke you type across all websites. Polish is fundamentally different:
- **No Background Monitoring**: Content scripts stay idle until you press ⌘⇧P (Mac) or Alt+Shift+P (Windows/Linux).
- **Targeted Selection**: Only the active text field or highlighted selection is read.
- **Direct Replacement**: The revised text is injected directly back into the editor using DOM-safe replacement strategies.
- **No Data Retention**: Texts sent for polishing are not used to train public foundation models.

## Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

### How is Polish different from Grammarly?
Grammarly runs constantly in the background, tracks all keystrokes, and covers your text with distracting red underlines, popups, and sidebars. Polish is completely quiet: it has zero popups, does not log background keystrokes, and only polishes text when you press a single keyboard shortcut.

### How is Polish different from ChatGPT?
Using ChatGPT to fix an email requires switching tabs, copying your draft, pasting it into a chat box, writing a prompt, waiting for generation, copying the response, and pasting it back. Polish does all of this in under one second without leaving your input field.

### Is Polish free?
Yes. Every user gets 5 free Polish actions every day. An optional Pro subscription unlocks unlimited daily actions and the More Polish deep-rewriting mode.
