I built a copy paste tool for ChatGPT and Google Docs called TidyText.cc

Published:

After working with ChatGPT and other AI tools, I realized that copying and pasting responses into Google Docs often messed up the formatting. Markdown is great for structured content, but dealing with the formatting cleanup? Not so much. 😅

Introducing TidyText

Features

  1. You can paste any text from ChatGPT (or elsewhere).
  2. It instantly converts the content into HTML that’s compatible with Google Docs.
  3. It provides a clean preview and lets you copy the result directly to your clipboard with one click.

Try it now

I built it using React, Vite, Web Workers (to handle processing of the markdown in the background), and DOMPurify for sanitizing input. I used TailwindCSS for the styling and everything is using TypeScript. It’s hosted using Cloudflare Pages.

🔧 Why build this?

💡 What’s next?

There’s Google Docs integration coming soon, so you’ll be able to generate and open documents directly in Google Docs without the extra step of copying.

If you’re using ChatGPT or any AI tool and need to quickly format content for Google Docs, TidyText is the tool for you! 🤖 🎉
