How do you usually clean up pasted AI text?

I use AI tools a lot for email and chat, and I keep running into the same annoying last-mile problem: pasted text comes in with odd fonts, spacing, or broken bullets, and pasting as plain text nukes structure entirely.
I've gone pretty deep on this recently and realized there isn't really a great default workflow people agree on.
Curious how others handle this today. Do you just paste as text and rebuild, use some middle step, or something else entirely?
Genuinely interested in what people are doing in practice.

Purifai - App-aware copy/paste that removes unsupported formatting

Text copied from AI tools or the web often pastes with fonts and headings you'd never use yourself, especially in email or chat. It immediately looks pasted. Paste text-only fixes the mess, but also removes bold text, lists, and structure, forcing you to rebuild everything by hand. Purifai cleans the text so it fits naturally in the app you're pasting into. It removes weird formatting while keeping paragraphs, lists, and spacing intact. Lightweight App (11MB). Fully offline. No tracking.
