What is ExcuseHQ?

What is the "Polish My Excuse" feature?

Will the excuses sound believable?
That's the whole point. ExcuseHQ focuses on generating plausible, naturally worded messages -- not generic filler. Adding one real detail in the optional field makes them even more convincing.

Can I use it for personal situations too?

No. ExcuseHQ does not store or log any of the details you enter. Each request is processed and discarded.
