AI writing assistants utilize machine learning to help users through various steps of the writing process, including research, grammar and tone checking, and localization. These tools leverage natural language processing (NLP) to analyze text and provide recommendations or related content. These tools can ease the otherwise cumbersome and slow process of writing content, allowing users to write more quickly and with confidence. Augmented writing can be used by any professional looking for writing help, from content marketers trying to create more compelling material to HR representatives optimizing job listings.
AI writing assistants are incredibly varied in their scope and scale. Some are full augmented writing platforms where users write all their content. Others are simpler bots that intake content written elsewhere and provide recommendations after the fact. Some AI writing assistants have strict, express functionality such as building specific types of forms or providing a certain type of writing recommendation. However, plenty of generalized AI writing assistants are available.
To qualify for inclusion within the AI Writing Assistant category, a product must:
Utilize artificial intelligence to assist some portion of the writing process
