Xiezuocat earns its long-running popularity the boring way: real-time Chinese proofreading that catches typos, malformed idioms, punctuation and register mismatches as you type, wrapped in surfaces people actually use -- a Word add-in, a browser extension that corrects any web text box, and a WeChat mini-program. The rewriting and continuation tools are a genuine step up from spell-check for anyone drafting Chinese copy, papers or social posts under deadline.
English support exists but is clearly secondary to the Chinese-language engine, there's no public API for building on top of it, and the free tier's daily quotas (8,000 words of correction, 2,000 of translation) push regular users toward paid plans starting at 24 yuan/month. Good, dependable tool for Chinese-first writers; not a reason for an English-first user to switch from anything else.
What people say
Xiezuocat, built by Metaso (秘塔科技), has been a fixture of the Chinese AI-writing space since well before the current LLM wave -- its pitch is less "write this for me" and more "fix and polish what you already wrote." The core loop covers bilingual Chinese-English error detection (typos, grammar, punctuation, formal-document conventions), one-click rewriting that restructures a sentence or shifts its tone, five-style continuation (news, official document, fiction, and others) that extends a passage from context, and an image-matching feature that suggests stock photos based on the text's content. A text-recognition tool also lets users copy text out of pages or images that block normal copy-paste.
What sets it apart from browser-only competitors is distribution: alongside the web app, it ships as a Chrome/Edge browser extension that adds a correction icon to essentially any text field on the web, a Microsoft Word add-in listed on the Microsoft Marketplace for in-document proofreading, and a WeChat mini-program for mobile use. That plugin coverage is a recurring reason reviewers recommend it over web-only Chinese writing tools.
Pricing runs freemium: the free tier gives 8,000 words/day of correction, 2,000 words/day of translation and 1,000 words/day of text-to-speech. A 24 yuan/month basic tier lifts those caps (30,000 words/day correction, 8,000 translation) and adds a modest 5,000-word/month AI-writing allowance; a 48 yuan/month tier doubles the AI-writing quota to 20,000 words/month and further raises the daily caps. A separate team plan raises the per-user daily cap to 60,000 words and adds business-assistant features, though third-party pricing trackers don't list a public rate for it, suggesting it's sold direct.
There's no publicized API or developer SDK, which limits it to direct end-user use rather than embedding in other products. For students, content writers and anyone drafting in Chinese under time pressure, the correction-plus-rewrite loop paired with the Word/browser plugin coverage is the reason it keeps coming up in Chinese-writing-tool roundups; English users have plenty of stronger English-native alternatives.
