Job description

OverviewAI produces textbook Italian that still feels off: it forces gender and number agreement mechanically, misses the formal Lei, and leans on wording that sounds translated rather than said. Regional color and everyday idiom are usually where it gives itself away, and a native speaker is who spots it.
