Playground Guide

Using the SALZ web playground -- paste text, optimize in real time, compare before and after, no API key needed.

The SALZ Playground is a browser-based tool for testing text optimization without writing any code or setting up an API key. It is the fastest way to see what SALZ does.

Accessing the Playground

There are two ways to use the playground:

Public Playground

Visit add-salz.io/playground -- no account required. The public playground is rate-limited to 5 optimizations per minute per IP address.

Dashboard Playground

Log in to your SALZ dashboard and navigate to Playground in the sidebar. The dashboard playground uses your account's rate limits (20/minute on pro) and does not count against the public rate limit.

How to Use It

  1. Paste your text into the left panel. This is the AI-generated text you want to optimize.
  2. Click "Optimize" (or press Ctrl+Enter / Cmd+Enter).
  3. Review the result in the right panel. The optimized text appears within a few seconds.

The two panels let you compare the original and optimized versions side by side.

What to Test

The playground is useful for:

  • Evaluating quality -- Paste different types of AI-generated text to see how well SALZ handles them. Try marketing copy, blog posts, product descriptions, emails, and technical writing.
  • Comparing tones -- If you are building an integration that uses tone parameters, test different inputs to understand how the output changes.
  • Demonstrating to stakeholders -- Show non-technical team members what SALZ does without needing to set up a development environment.
  • Debugging -- If your API integration produces unexpected results, paste the same text in the playground to see if the issue is with the text or your code.

Tips for Best Results

  • Use text that is clearly AI-generated. SALZ is designed to fix AI patterns. If you paste text that already sounds natural, the output may not change much.
  • Try longer passages. SALZ works better with full paragraphs and multi-sentence blocks than with single short sentences.
  • Compare multiple runs. The optimization is not deterministic -- running the same text twice may produce slightly different results. Both versions will sound natural.

Rate Limits

The public playground enforces a rate limit of 5 requests per minute per IP address. If you hit the limit, wait a moment before trying again.

The dashboard playground uses your account's API rate limit and does not count as an API call against your monthly quota.

From Playground to API

Once you are happy with the results in the playground, integrating SALZ into your application is straightforward. The playground uses the same optimization engine as the API -- the only difference is that the API gives you programmatic access.

curl -X POST https://add-salz.io/api/v1/optimize \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"text": "The same text you tested in the playground"}'

See the Quick Start guide to make your first API call.
