The best AI writing generators

These 7 ai writing tools will take your content to the next level..

Of course, all AI writing software needs human supervision to deliver the best results. Left to its own devices, it tends to produce fairly generic and frequently incorrect content, even if it can pass for something a human wrote. Now that AI tools are increasingly popular, people also seem more aware of what bland AI-produced content reads like and are likely to spot it—or at least be suspicious of content that feels like it lacks something.

I've been covering this kind of generative AI technology for almost a decade. Since AI is supposedly trying to take my job, I'm somewhat professionally interested in the whole situation. Still, I think I'm pretty safe for now. These AI writing tools are getting incredibly impressive, but you have to work with them, rather than just letting them spit out whatever they want.

So, if you're looking for an AI content generator that will help you write compelling copy, publish blog posts a lot quicker, and otherwise take some of the slow-paced typing out of writing, you've come to the right place. Let's dig in.

How do AI writing tools work?

Search Google for AI writing software, and you'll find dozens of different options, all with suspiciously similar features. There's a big reason for this: 95% of these AI writing tools use the same large language models (LLMs) as the back end.

Some of the bigger apps are also integrating their own fine-tuning or using other LLMs like Claude . But most are really just wrappers connected to OpenAI's GPT-3 and GPT-4 APIs, with a few extra features built on top—even if they try to hide it in their own marketing materials. If you wanted to, you could even create your own version of an AI writing assistant without code using Zapier's OpenAI integrations —that's how much these apps rely on GPT.

See how one writer created an AI writing coach with GPT and other ways you can use OpenAI with Zapier .

Now this isn't to say that none of these AI-powered writing apps are worth using. They all offer a much nicer workflow than ChatGPT or OpenAI's playground , both of which allow you to generate text with GPT as well. And the better apps allow you to set a "voice" or guidelines that apply to all the text you generate. But the difference between these apps isn't really in the quality of their output. With a few exceptions, you'll get very similar results from the same prompt no matter which app you use—even if they use different LLMs. Where the apps on this list stand out is in how easy they make it to integrate AI text generation into an actual workflow.

As for the underlying LLM models themselves, they work by taking a prompt from you, and then predicting what words will best follow on from your request, based on the data they were trained on. That training data includes books, articles, and other documents across all different topics, styles, and genres—and an unbelievable amount of content scraped from the open internet . Basically, LLMs were allowed to crunch through the sum total of human knowledge to form a deep learning neural network—a complex, many-layered, weighted algorithm modeled after the human brain. Yes, that's the kind of thing you have to do to create a computer program that generates bad poems . 

If you want to dive more into the specifics, check out the Zapier articles on natural language processing and how ChatGPT works . But suffice it to say: GPT and other large language models are incredibly powerful already—and because of that, these AI writing tools have a lot of potential. 

What makes the best AI text generator?

How we evaluate and test apps.

Our best apps roundups are written by humans who've spent much of their careers using, testing, and writing about software. Unless explicitly stated, we spend dozens of hours researching and testing apps, using each app as it's intended to be used and evaluating it against the criteria we set for the category. We're never paid for placement in our articles from any app or for links to any site—we value the trust readers put in us to offer authentic evaluations of the categories and apps we review. For more details on our process, read the full rundown of how we select apps to feature on the Zapier blog .

We know that most AI text generators rely on the various versions of GPT, and even those that don't are using very similar models, so most apps aren't going to stand out because of some dramatic difference in the quality of their output. Creating effective, human-like text is now table stakes. It was required for inclusion on this list—but not sufficient on its own.

As I was testing these apps, here's what else I was looking for:

Tools powered by GPT or a similar large language model with well-documented efficacy. In practice, this means that most but not all of the AI writing tools on this list use GPT to a greater or lesser degree. Many apps are starting to hide what models they use and claim to have a lot of secret sauce built on top (because there's a marketing advantage in being different and more powerful), but the reality is that nine times out of ten, it's the GPT API that's doing the heavy lifting.

An interface that gives you a lot of control over the text output. The more options you have to influence the tone, style, language, content, and everything else, the better. I didn't want tools where you just entered a headline and let the AI do the rest; these are all tools that you collaborate with, so you can write great copy quickly. The best AI writing tools also let you set a default brand voice that's always on.

Ease of use. You shouldn't have to fight to get the AI to do what you want. With AI writing software like this, there will always be some redoing and reshaping to get the exact output you want, but working with the AI shouldn't feel like wrangling a loose horse. Similarly, great help docs and good onboarding were both a major plus. 

Affordability. ChatGPT is currently free, and all these tools are built on top of an API that costs pennies . There was no hard and fast price limit, but the more expensive tools had to justify the extra expense with better features and a nicer app. After all, almost every app will produce pretty similar outputs regardless of what it costs. 

Apps that weren't designed to make spam content. Previous text-generating tools could " spin " content by changing words to synonyms so that unscrupulous website owners could rip off copyrighted material and generally create lots of low-quality, low-value content. None of that on this list.

Even with these criteria, I had more than 40 different AI writing tools to test. Remember: it's relatively easy for a skilled developer to build a wrapper around the GPT API, so I had to dig deep into each one to find out if it was any good or just had a flashy marketing site.

I tested each app by getting it to write a number of different short- and long-form bits of copy, but as expected, there were very few meaningful quality differences. Instead, it was the overall user experience, depth of features, and affordability that determined whether an app made this list. 

Zapier Chatbots lets you build custom AI chatbots and take action with built-in automation—no coding required. Try the writing assistant template to help you create high quality content, effortlessly.

The best AI writing generators at a glance

Best ai writing generator for businesses, jasper (web).

Jasper, our pick for the best AI writing generator for businesses

Jasper pros:

One of the most mature and feature-filled options on the list 

Integrates with Grammarly, Surfer, and its own AI art generator

Jasper cons:

Expensive given that all the apps use similar language models 

Jasper (formerly Jarvis) is one of the most feature-filled and powerful AI content generators. It was among the first wave of apps built on top of GPT, and its relative longevity means that it feels like a more mature tool than most of the other apps I tested. It's continued to grow and develop in the months since I first compiled this list.

If you have a business and budget isn't your primary concern, Jasper should be one of the first apps you try. It's pivoted to mostly focus on marketing campaigns rather than just generating generic AI content. That's not a bad thing, but it means that plans now start at $49/month for individual creators and $125/month for teams.

Jasper has also moved away from just being a GPT app. It claims to combine "several large language models" including GPT-4, Claude 2, and PaLM 2, so that "you get the highest quality outputs and superior uptime." While I can't say that I noticed a massive difference between Jasper's output and any other app's, it does give you a few solid controls so that your content matches your brand. 

You can create a brand Voice and Tone by uploading some appropriate sample text. Based on a few examples of my writing, Jasper created a style that "emphasizes a casual, conversational tone with humor, personal anecdotes, listicles, informal language, expertise in various subjects, and a call to action for an engaging and approachable brand voice." I don't think that's a bad summary of the content I fed in, and its output for a few test blog posts like "The Enduring Popularity of Top Gun" felt closer to my writing than when I asked it to use a generic casual tone of voice. Similarly, there's a Knowledge Base where you can add facts about your business and products so Jasper gets important details right. 

While other apps also offer similar features, Jasper's seemed to work better and are fully integrated with the rest of the app. For example, you can create entire marketing campaigns using your custom brand voice. Put a bit of work into fine-tuning it and uploading the right assets to your knowledge base, and I suspect that Jasper really could create some solid first drafts of marketing materials like blog outlines, social media campaign ads, and the like.

Otherwise, Jasper rounds things out with some nice integrations. It has a built-in ChatGPT competitor and AI art generator (though, again, lots of other apps have both), plays nice with the SEO app Surfer , and there's a browser extension to bring Jasper everywhere.

You can also connect Jasper to thousands of other apps using Zapier . Learn more about how to automate Jasper , or try one of the pre-built workflows below.

Jasper pricing: Creator plan from $49/month with one brand voice and 50 knowledge assets. Teams plan starts at $125/month for three seats, three brand voices, and 150 knowledge assets.

Best AI writing app for AI copywriting

Copy.ai (web).

Copy.ai, our pick for the best AI copywriting tool

Copy.ai pros:

Has an affordable unlimited plan for high-volume users 

Workflow actively solicits your input, which can lead to higher quality content 

Copy.ai cons:

Expensive if you don't produce a lot of content

Pretty much anything Jasper can do, Copy.ai can do too. It has brand voices, an infobase, a chatbot, and team features (though there isn't a browser extension). Consider it the Burger King to Jasper's McDonalds.

And like the Home of the Whopper, Copy.ai appeals to slightly different tastes. While I could argue that Copy.ai has a nicer layout, the reality is it's geared toward a slightly different workflow. While Jasper lets you and the AI loose, Copy.ai slows things down a touch and encourages you to work with its chatbot or use a template that asks some deliberate, probing questions. For creating website copy, social media captions , product descriptions, and similarly specific things, it makes more sense. But for content marketing blog posts and other long-form content, it might annoy you.

The other big difference is the pricing. While both offer plans for $49/month, Copy.ai includes five user seats and unlimited brand voices. For a small team working with multiple brands, it can be a lot cheaper. Also, if you're looking for a free AI writing generator, Copy.ai also offers a free plan that includes 2,000 words per month.

Overall, there are more similarities than differences between Jasper and Copy.ai , and both can create almost all the same kinds of text. Even when it came to analyzing my voice, they both came to pretty similar conclusions. Copy.ai decided that, to mimic me, it had to "focus on creating content that is both educational and entertaining, using a conversational tone that makes readers feel like they're having a chat with a knowledgeable friend" and "not to be afraid to inject some humor or personal anecdotes." If you're in doubt, try them both out and then decide.

Copy.ai also integrates with Zapier , so you can do things like automatically sending content to your CMS or enriching leads straight from your CRM. Learn more about how to automate Copy. ai or try one of the pre-built workflows below.

Best AI writing assistant

Anyword (web).

Anyword, our pick for the best AI writing assistant

Anyword pros:

Makes it very easy for you to include specific details, SEO keywords, and other important information 

Engagement scores and other metrics are surprisingly accurate

Anyword cons:

Can be slower to use

Pretty expensive for a more limited set of features than some of the other apps on this list

While you can direct the AI to include certain details and mention specific facts for every app on this list, none make it as easy as Anyword. More than any of the others, the AI here feels like an eager and moderately competent underling that requires a bit of micromanaging (and can also try to mimic your writing style and brand voice), rather than a beast that you have to tame with arcane prompts. 

Take one of its main content-generating tools: the Blog Wizard. Like with Copy.ai, the setup process requires you to describe the blog post you want the AI to create and add any SEO keywords you want to target. Anyword then generates a range of titles for you to choose from, along with a predicted engagement score. 

Once you've chosen a title—or written your own—it generates a suggested outline. Approve it, and you get the option for it to create an entire ~2,000-word blog post (boo!) or a blank document where you can prompt it with additional instructions for each section of the outline, telling it things like what facts to mention, what style to take, and what details to cover. There's also a chatbot-like research sidebar that you can ask questions of and solicit input from. While certainly a slower process than most apps, it gives you a serious amount of control over the content you're creating.

Anyword is definitely aimed at marketers, and its other tools—like the Data-Driven Editor and the Website Targeted Message—all allow you to target your content toward specific audiences and give things engagement scores. While I certainly can't confirm the validity of any of these scores, they at least pass the sniff test. I generally thought the AI-generated content that Anyword scored higher was better—and even when I disagreed, I still liked one of the top options. 

Anyword pricing: Starter plan from $49/month for 1 user and 1 brand voice.

Best AI writing tool for writing fiction

Sudowrite (web).

Sudowrite, our pick for the best AI writing tool for writing fiction

Sudowrite pros:

The only AI tool on the list explicitly aimed at writing fiction 

Super fun to use if you've ever wanted to play around with fiction 

Sudowrite cons:

It's still an AI text generator, so it can produce nonsensical metaphors, clichéd plots, incoherent action, and has a short memory for details 

Very controversial in fiction writing circles

When I saw Sudowrite's marketing copy, I didn't think for a second it would make it onto this list. Then I tried it and…I kind of love it. Sudowrite is a totally different tool than all the others on this list because it's aimed at fiction writers. And with that, comes a lot of controversy. Sudowrite has been called " an insult to writers everywhere " and has been generally dismissed as a tool for hacks by a lot of Very Online writers. And while it's true that it's nowhere close to replacing a human author, it's fun, functional, and can genuinely help with writing a work of fiction. 

The Story Engine feature, which allows you to generate a full work of fiction over a few days by progressively generating each story beat, has attracted the most attention ( it works but takes lots of hand-holding and your novel will be weird ). But I prefer its assistive tools.

Let's start with Describe. Select a word or phrase, click Describe , and the AI will generate a few suggestions for the sight, smell, taste, sound, and touch of the thing, as well as a couple of metaphors. If you're the kind of writer who struggles to add sensory depth to your short stories, it can help you get into the habit of describing things in more interesting ways.

Then there's Brainstorm. It allows you to use the AI to generate possible dialogue options, character names and traits, plot points, places, and other details about your world from your descriptions and cues. If you know you want a big hairy guy with a huge sword but can't think of a good name, it can suggest a few, like Thorgrim and Bohart.

And these are just scratching the surface. Sure, if you over-rely on the AI to solve all your problems, you'll probably end up with an impressively generic story. But if you use it as a writing buddy to bounce ideas off and get you out of a rut, it's got serious potential. 

Best of all, Sudowrite is super easy to use. The onboarding, tool tips, and general helpful vibe of the app are something other developers could learn from. 

Sudowrite pricing: Hobby & Student plan from $19/month for 30,000 AI words/month. 

Best AI text generator for a non-GPT option

Writer (web).

Writer, our pick for the best AI writing generator that doesn't use GPT

Writer pros:

Not based on GPT, so free of a lot of the controversy surrounding LLMs

Surprisingly capable as an editor, making sure your team sticks to the style guide and doesn't make any wild claims

Writer cons:

Requires a lot more setup to get the most from

GPT comes with quite a lot of baggage. OpenAI has been less than transparent about exactly what data was used to create the various versions of GPT-3 and GPT-4, and it's facing various lawsuits over the use of copyrighted material in its training dataset. No one is really denying that protected materials— potentially from pirated databases —were used to train GPT; the question is just whether or not it falls under fair use. 

For most people, this is a nebulous situation filled with edge cases and gray areas. Realistically, it's going to be years before it's all sorted out, and even then, things will have moved on so far that the results of any lawsuit are likely to be redundant. But for businesses that want to use AI writing tools without controversy attached, GPT is a no-go—and will be for the foreseeable future. 

Which is where Writer comes in.

Feature-wise, Writer is much the same as any of my top picks. (Though creating a specific brand voice that's automatically used is an Enterprise-only feature; otherwise, you have to use a lot of checkboxes in the settings to set the tone.) Some features, like the chatbot, are a little less useful than they are in the GPT-powered apps, but really, they're not why you'd choose Writer.

Where it stands out is the transparency around its Palmyra LLM . For example, you can request and inspect a copy of its training dataset that's composed of data that is "distributed free of any copyright restrictions." Similarly, Palmyra's code and model weights (which determines its outputs) can be audited, it can be hosted on your own servers, and your data is kept secure and not used for training by default. As an AI-powered tool, it's as above board as it comes.

In addition to generating text, Writer can work as a company-specific Grammarly-like editor, keeping on top of legal compliance, ensuring you don't make any unsupported claims, and checking that everything matches your style guide—even when humans are writing the text. As someone who routinely has to follow style guides, this seems like an incredibly useful feature. I wasn't able to test it fully since I don't have a personal style guide to input, but Writer correctly fixed things based on all the rules that I set.

In side-by-side comparisons, Writer's text generations sometimes felt a little weaker than the ones from Jasper or Copy.ai, but I suspect a lot of that was down to how things were configured. Writer is designed as a tool for companies to set up and train with their own data, not run right out of the box. I'd guess my random blog posts were a poor test of how it should be used in the real world.

Writer also integrates with Zapier , so you can use Writer to create content directly from whatever apps you use most. Learn more about how to automate Writer , or take a look at these pre-made workflows.

Best AI text generator for GPT-4 content

Writesonic (web).

Writesonic, our pick for the best AI writing generator for GPT-4 content

Writesonic pros:

Allows you to select what GPT model is used to generate text 

Generous free plan and affordable paid plans 

Writesonic cons:

A touch too focused on SEO content for my taste

While almost all the tools on this list use GPT, most are pretty vague about which particular version of it they use at any given time. This matters because the most basic version of the GPT-3.5 Turbo API costs $0.002/1K tokens (roughly 750 words), while GPT-4 starts at $0.06/1K tokens, and the most powerful version costs $0.12/1K tokens. All this suggests that most apps may not use GPT-4 in all circumstances, and instead probably rely on one of the more modest (though still great) GPT-3 models for most text generation. 

If having the latest and greatest AI model matters to you, Writesonic is the app for you. Writesonic doesn't hide what AI model it uses. It even allows you to choose between using GPT-3.5 and GPT-4, at least on Business plans. 

Whether the content you create will benefit from the extra power of GPT-4 or not depends. In my experience using GPT-4 through ChatGPT, the latest model is more accurate and, essentially, more sensible in how it responds. If you're churning out low-stakes copy variations for your product listings, you likely won't see much improvement. On the other hand, for long-form original blog posts, it could make a difference. Either way, the transparency in which model you're using at any given time is a huge bonus. 

Feature-wise, Writesonic is much the same as any of the other apps on this list, with a Google Docs-style editor, the option to set a brand voice, a few dozen copy templates, a chatbot, a browser extension, and Surfer integration. It's cool that you can set reference articles when you're generating a blog post, but it introduces the real possibility of inadvertent plagiarism if you aren't careful with how you use it. (Its most offbeat feature is a surprisingly solid AI-powered custom chatbot builder that's due to be spun out into its own app soon.) Overall, it's pretty nice to use and skews more toward SEO-optimized content marketing—but like with all the apps, you can use it to generate whatever you want.

Writesonic also integrates with Zapier , so you can send new copy to any of the other apps you use in your writing workflow. Learn more about how to automate Writesonic , or get started with one of these examples.

Create a Google Doc with new content from Writesonic

Writesonic pricing: Free for 10,000 GPT-3.5 words per month; Business from $19/month for 200,000 Premium words or 33,333 GPT-4 words.

Best free AI writing generator (with affordable upgrades)

Rytr, our pick for the best free AI writing generator

A solid free plan and a cheap high-volume plan (though Writesonic offers better value for an unlimited plan)

It includes a basic AI art generator as part of every plan 

The app is more basic than more expensive offerings

Unlimited plan isn't very competitive

Most of the apps on this list are aimed at professionals, businesses, and anyone else with a budget. The Jasper, Copy.ai, and Anyword plans I considered all started at $49/month. That isn't exactly a hobbyist-friendly sum of money, so if you want to explore AI text generators without spending as much, give Rytr a go.

There's a free plan that's good for 10,000 characters (around 2,500 words) per month, and it includes a lot of the features, like a plagiarism checker, and a few AI-generated images. The Saver plan starts at $9/month and allows you to generate 100,000 characters (around 25,000 words) per month. On that plan, you're also able to generate up to 20 images a month, which many other apps charge extra for. (There's also an unlimited plan for $29/month, but at that point, Writesonic is a better value.)

Feature-wise, there are some trade-offs. Rytr is a little less competent at generating long-form content without you guiding it through the process, and there are fewer templates for specific things. The interface also isn't as polished, and there isn't as much hand-holding to get you started. Still, as Rytr is using GPT like almost all the other apps on this list, you should be able to get it to produce substantially similar output.

Rytr Pricing: Free plan for 10,000 characters/month and lots of other features; Saver plan from $9/month for 100,000 characters; Unlimited plan from $29/month.

Other AI writing tools to consider

With so many AI text-generating tools out there, a few good ones worth considering didn't make this list, only because they didn't meet my initial criteria in some way. If none of the AI writers I chose fit the bill for you, here are a few other options worth looking into:

ChatGPT is surprisingly competent and fun to use. And best of all, it's free. ( Google Bard is a little less excellent on the content production side.) 

Wordtune and Grammarly are both great tools for editing and improving your own writing .  GrammarlyGO just isn't as flexible as my other picks.

Notion AI adds a powerful AI tool directly into Notion. If you already use Notion, it's worth checking out, but it's a lot to learn if you just want a text generator. (Same goes for AI within any other Notion alternative, like Coda AI .)

Surfer and Frase are both AI-powered SEO tools . They fell slightly out of scope for this list, but they can both help you optimize and improve your content—AI-generated or not. 

All of the apps on this list offer at the very least a free trial, so I'd suggest trying some of them out for a few minutes until you find the one that seems to work best with your workflow.

The word "AI" has been named the word of the year. ChatGPT has made waves since its introduction in late 2022. With every new iteration of this powerful tool, users have found innovative ways to use it to simplify and speed up their work.

Now, there are many AI writing assistants on the market, competing with ChatGPT to become the king of AI-powered writing tools. These new tools aim to simplify the writing process by generating long-form content, researching keywords, creating images from text, and more. Many bloggers are using these tools to improve their content and save time. 

However, there are some drawbacks to using AI writers. The content generated may require additional editing to ensure it's polished and accurate. AI-generated content may also lack the unique voice and style a human writer can provide. Despite this, the benefits of using AI writers, such as cost and time savings, often outweigh these minor drawbacks.

In conclusion, AI writers are an excellent solution for creating high-quality content without spending countless hours or breaking the bank. With numerous writing tools available today, content creation can be easily sped up and simplified. If you're interested in trying one of these tools, we've got you covered with our list of the best AI writers of the year. Check it out!

The best AI writer overall

Grammarly AI writer ad

1. GrammarlyGO

Our expert review:

Specifications

Reasons to buy, reasons to avoid.

✔️   You also need a grammar editor: Getting help from an AI writer is even better with one that also helps you with grammar, like Grammarly. 

✔️ Need to use it across multiple apps: With Grammarly installed on your computer, you instantly gain access to it across your favorite apps like Microsoft Word and other word processing packages. 

✔️ Want something that's easy to use — once you learn how to do it:  Once you understand how GrammarlyGO works, it's going to make your life easier and assist you in making your text better. 

❌  You're on a strict budget: No doubt, Grammarly itself is expensive, especially if you only want to pay for it on a month-to-month basis. 

❌  You don't need a grammar tool: Maybe this is overkill, depending on your situation. 

❌ You need social networking-specific tools:  GrammarlyGO doesn't offer these types of tools, at least for now. 

Even in beta, GrammarlyGO is an excellent addition to an already powerful Al-based writing tool. You can use it to become a much better writer in just a few steps. 

Check out our in-depth GrammarlyGo review for a closer look at the service, and see why it's our top AI writer pick for 2024.

Grammarly has been a reliable companion for writers, helping them polish their craft by providing suggestions that make their writing clearer, more engaging, or more effective. And now, they've taken it up a notch by introducing GrammarlyGO, a feature-packed add-on that comes bundled with the rest of the software.

To get the most out of GrammarlyGO, you must understand how Grammarly works, as the two are closely intertwined. When using GrammarlyGO, it's essential to remember the number of prompts available to you, which varies depending on the plan you choose. Whenever you ask Grammarly to improve your text, one prompt is used, regardless of whether you use the suggestion. Grammarly Free users get access to 100 prompts per month, while Grammarly Premium subscribers receive 1,000 prompts per month. For Grammarly Business users, the number goes up to 1,000 prompts per user every month.

GoogleGO AI features are classified into five categories: ideate, compose, reply, rewrite, and personalize. The ideate feature helps you generate article ideas that are exciting and thought-provoking. With Grammarly's assistance, you can develop topics like "Five ways to motivate employees" or "Name five great topics about fall" that can capture the reader's attention and spark their interest.

The compose feature is perfect when you want Grammarly to help you write something from scratch. For instance, you could ask Grammarly to help you write an announcement about your engagement or a cover letter for a new job. The more information you provide, the better the results, and GrammarlyGO can help you create a masterpiece with its advanced suggestions and insights. Adding details like the name of your fiancé and the engagement date can make your announcement even more unique. In contrast, information about the job you're applying for can make your cover letter more effective.

If you're unsure how to respond to a message, Grammarly's reply feature can save the day. You can ask Grammarly to answer questions like "What should I say to Brent about the new job?" or "How can I congratulate Tom and Becky on their upcoming nuptials?" With Grammarly's superior writing skills, you can craft an engaging, effective, and impressive response.

With these incredible features, GrammarlyGO can help you take your writing to new heights and unleash your creativity.

Article Forge website

3. Articleforge

✔️ You use WordPress heavily: Articleforge works great with WordPress; get started in just a few steps. 

✔️ You want package customization:  The more you're willing to pay, the more words you can generate each month. It's flexible. 

✔️ You need marketing-based tools:  Offers SEO optimization, content in bulk, and more. 

❌  You don't want to self-edit : Articleforge may require more post-generation editing than other options, which could slow you down.

❌ You don't want to deal with duplicates:  Yes, sometimes Articleforge repeats suggestions. 

❌  If you don't want to spend more for a monthly subscription: It's cheaper to buy this on a yearly basis, and that might not be a commitment you're willing to make. 

Articleforge utilizes deep learning and AI to improve content over time, though heavy editing and fact-checking are often necessary.

Check out our in-depth Articleforge review for more information.

Articleforge is a tool that can greatly help speed up the writing process for users. It is a valuable resource for those who need to generate content quickly but do not have the time or resources to do so themselves. However, it is important to note that it is not a replacement for an experienced writer or editor. While it can provide recommendations for titles and automate SEO and WordPress publishing, it is not designed to produce ready-to-publish content.

One of the benefits of Articleforge is that it is available in seven languages, making it ideal for international blogs or multi-language sites. Users simply need to enter a few keywords and the topic they want to cover, and the platform will generate content in under 60 seconds. This generated content will use the provided keywords and cover the desired topic.

In addition to its quick and easy content generation, Articleforge also offers various integrations, including MS Word and WordPress integrations. The platform also provides integrations with other software systems like SEO AutoPilot, CyberSEO, RankerX, SEnuke TNG, and more. These integrations are easy to use, thanks to the API key offered by the platform.

While the platform is a convenient tool for creating content, its output quality falls short of expectations. As with any automated system, fact-checking is necessary for the majority of the content offered by the platform. The platform does offer better output quality with customized input. However, extensive testing is required, which can quickly exhaust the "word meter."

Overall, Articleforge can significantly expedite the writing process and help overcome writer's block. It is advisable to test it out and find a balance between the platform and tailored input to yield superior results. While it should not be relied upon as a sole source of content, using it in conjunction with other resources can help users quickly generate high-quality content.

In the Boss Mode, you can also use pre-built recipes offered by the Jasper team such as “Write about (keyword),” but you also have the option of creating your own, which can be incredibly helpful if you have specific requirements for your content.

✔️ You need lots of languages:  Writesonic supports 25 languages and counting. 

✔️ You're a freelancer:  There's a package just for you.

❌  You want to pay a lower price:  Some have criticized Writesonic for being too expensive. That's true with the Smart Team options

❌  You need more third-party integrations:  It doesn't really place nice with other software tools, which could add some time to your work. 

❌ You don't like tackling a learning curve : Like others on this list, there's a slighter higher learning curve with this one

Writesonic is an expansive AI writing platform with an intuitive interface and versatile templates for all content creation scenarios.

Check out our in-depth Writesonic review to see if this is the AI writing tool for you. 

Writesonic is an innovative content creation platform that provides users with various features and tools to generate high-quality, engaging content. One of the most impressive features of Writesonic is its versatility - it supports over 25 languages, including English, French, Italian, German, Japanese, Chinese, and more. This is a significant advantage for businesses that operate in multiple regions and need to produce content in different languages.

Another notable feature of Writesonic is its tone of voice customization tool. Users can choose from various tones, including "Excited," "Creative," and more. This feature adds a unique twist to the content, tailoring it to the user's needs. However, it's essential to note that the tone of voice feature may require additional editing to ensure the content is clear and coherent.

Regarding website copywriting, Writesonic provides users with an impressive range of tools. It can create landing pages, SEO meta descriptions, and feature-rich headers and subheaders. Additionally, it allows users to create social media ads on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Google . Content creators can also benefit from Writesonic's blog writing, point expansion, and text analysis tools, which can rephrase the content and improve its readability.

The platform also offers e-commerce copy creation and popular copywriting formulas, such as the "AIDA" and "Pain-Agitate-Solution" formulas. These formulas are tried and tested approaches to writing compelling, persuasive content that resonates with readers.

However, it's essential to note that the content generated by Writesonic may require significant editing from the user. While the platform does an excellent job of generating content, it's essential to ensure it's clear, coherent, and tailored to the user's needs. If you're looking for a completely hands-off approach to content creation, Writesonic may not be the best option. However, for businesses that need to generate high-quality, engaging content quickly, Writesonic is an excellent choice.

7. Al-Writer

✔️ You want a cheap package: You can get an AI writer for as little as $19/month. 

✔️ You need clear sourcing:  No better solution is available for providing sources for all text provided. 

✔️ You want an easy solution:  A very low learning curve exists. 

❌  You want app integration:  There's seamless integration with WordPress, but that's about it. 

❌  You need marketing-specific tools:  Sorry, this one doesn't have it. 

❌ You want unlimited word generation: If you need to generate more than 120 articles per month, this is a very expensive solution. 

AI-Writer is a unique word-generating tool that simplifies text creation and editing through an intuitive user interface. However, it may not be suitable for everyone.

Check out our in-depth AI-Writer review to see if it's the solution for you. 

AI-Writer is a word generator that is easily accessible and is popular among freelancers and bloggers. It may not be as extensive as Anyword or CopyAI, which are primarily aimed at marketing and sales, but it serves its intended audience well. 

One of the most significant advantages of AI-Writer is its unparalleled sourcing capabilities. It is the only AI content generator that cites sources for "everything it writes." Additionally, it updates its sources frequently, ensuring that any article generated by it sources the latest information on the subject. This is a significant advantage, particularly for those who are writing about current events or trending topics. With AI-Writer, writers can create content that is well-researched and accurate, without having to spend hours scouring the internet for sources. 

Another significant advantage of AI-Writer is that it recognizes that not all types of content require sourcing. For instance, op-eds or personal essays don't usually require sources. AI-Writer recognizes this and hides sources and links from the main results page, making it easier for writers to focus on their content and not worry about sources.

One of the drawbacks of using AI-Writer is that its extensive sourcing process can cause a minor delay in generating results compared to other AI writing tools. Although this may not be a significant issue, the noticeable delay should be mentioned. For instance, alternative tools like GrammarlyGO offer results without hesitation. However, it is worth noting that the issue with AI-Writer is primarily due to its thorough sourcing process. 

In conclusion, AI-Writer is an excellent tool for freelancers and bloggers who want to create high-quality content. It excels in sourcing capabilities, making it a go-to tool for writers who need well-researched and accurate content. Its ability to recognize when sourcing is not required is also an added advantage. While it may not be the fastest tool on the market, its thorough sourcing process is worth the wait.

TechRadar's AI writer rankings

Numerous AI writing solutions are already available in the market, and we can expect more to arrive in the future. Have a look at our rankings of popular services below, and also check out the honorable mentions that currently can’t compete with the top services available.

What is an AI writer?

An AI writer is a revolutionary tool, capable of creating text and content without human help; it utilizes algorithms and machine learning to generate various AI content. From data-driven, high-value pieces to conversion-focused content perfect for marketing campaigns, AI writers can easily create just about any content.

As AI writing assistants gain exposure to various forms of real-world information, they gain proficiency in generating natural-sounding output. With their data coming from human sources, the output created also has a human-like quality. Much like how humans rely on existing content to craft something new, AI content tools scour the web for relevant data to fulfill the user's instructions, thus creating original content.

This, in a nutshell, explains what AI writing is and how it functions.

How to choose the best AI writer for you?

Let’s get this out of the way. Whichever platform you choose, you will have to do some editing, if you want to create useful texts.

Here are some of the factors you should consider when choosing the right tool for you: 

1. Ease of use

Tools that don’t require technical knowledge or prior experience should be on the top of your list. Investment in good UI means that other aspects of the tool are also likely to be of a higher quality.

While this may not be popular with everyone, the price should play a major role in deciding which tool to go for. Some are simply overpriced while not offering much more than their lower-priced competition. Pay attention to the amount of content each price plan offers.

3. High-quality output

Despite the fact that, in the end, you will be editing the texts and images the tool creates, having a tool that creates high-quality content will mean less time spent on fixing mistakes and editing.

4. Integrations

If you’re running a blog or business and have been doing so for some time, you probably have your set of tools that you use for writing content. Making sure that the new AI platform syncs well with your existing toolbox can be essential for how long and how well you utilize the AI tool.

The list above is not exhaustive, but does offer a great starting point in your quest to find the best AI writing tool for your needs.

The best AI writers: How we test

During our assessment, we’ve evaluated various aspects such as the number of writing templates, categories, recipes, number of languages supported, grammar checkers, etc. Our goal was to create an extensive list of AI writing assistants that offer much more than simple rewording features. 

We tested the overall capabilities of the AI software, the tool's interface and ease of use, monthly article limits, SEO optimization features, and pricing, among other aspects.

In addition, we gave each platform a test article to write for us (a simple topic) and checked its sentence structure and content relevance.

The 13 Best AI Writing Tools For Essays, Blogs & Content in 2024

  • Julie Simpson
  • February 23, 2024

If you have recently spent time on popular social media channels such as Twitter or LinkedIn, chances are you have read all about the amazing benefits of artificial intelligence for writing — but you’ve probably seen the “will AI replace all of our jobs” looming around the web as well. All of the pros and cons of AI writing tools can be hard to keep track of. 

However, as a productivity platform whose ultimate goal is to help you work more efficiently, we believe that AI writing is here to stay — and here to help. As much as we can see the other side of the argument (not the machines taking over, but the stealing our jobs argument), AI can ultimately be used as a tool to help you do your job better, not completely take it over from you.

We are firmly in the camp that using AI for content creation can be highly beneficial. If you are also interested in how AI tools can maximize your content output, follow along to learn about the best AI writing tools and how you can implement them into your workflow today.

How to pick the best AI writing tool for your content

HiveMind and RyterAI and JasperAI, Oh my!

14 Best AI Writing Software Tools In 2024 (Top Picks)

Photo of author

AI Writing Tools can augment your editorial processes. With the right pick, you can output thousands of words in a matter of minutes. So here are the best AI Writing Software apps on the market right now:

koala writer

Koala is the best all-in-one AI writing tool for creating optimized reviews. It automatically adds affiliate links and creates images.

Jasper Logo Squared

Jasper AI is by far the best AI writing software. Good templates, good output, and a killer long-form assistant.

Rytr Logo Squared

Rytrdoesn't have as many special tools or templates. But it's still a respectable tool, and you can get it for a good price

writersonic logo squared

Writesonic has a lot of templates and tools for short-form marketing copy. If that's your game, give it a try.

frase io logo

Frase IO is not an impressive AI writer. But what it lacks there, it makes up for with advanced research.

AI Writing software promises to revolutionize the world of content and copywriting.

And they may do that at some point.

But as it stands right now, AI writing assistants are just that: assistants that can pick up some of the content slack. But you’ll need to edit the output of an AI tool heavily. Not to mention, it’s not recommended you use it for SEO.

Still find value in that?

Check out our top picks for the best AI writing software tools.

1 Jasper AI

A screenshot of Jasper's website

Amazing features and templates

Easy to use, despite being complex

Long-form assistant is a huge plus

Can get a bit expensive

Output is not top-notch all the time

Jasper AI (formerly Jarvis AI) is the all-around best option if you need an AI writing app. It has some of the best output for different types of content, including listicles and short copy snippets. It’s easy to use, and there’s nothing like its long-form assistant.

A list of Jasper's Templates

Jasper’s long-form editor is its crowning jewel. You can just give Jasper a command in human language, and it’ll start writing.

But there’s so much more under the hood than just this document editor. Templates, recipes, add-ons, they’re all useful.

In summary, these are Jasper’s key features:

Long-form assistant – A great tool to create articles in one editor, as well as custom AI-powered tools.

GPT-3 – Jasper AI uses the newest technology to generate AI content.

Over 50 templates – These help you create different content types in just a few seconds.

Pre-made Recipes – Recipes are sets of commands that Jasper executes to output complex content types. Basically, templates on steroids.

Multi-language support – Jasper takes input and outputs content in 25 languages.

Other tools and add-ons – If you want a grammar checker, plagiarism tool, and even an SEO mode, you’ll find them all in Jasper.

Interface and Ease Of Use

A document opened in Jasper

Jasper might not be the prettiest AI writing software. Some people give Copy AI that title.

But it’s not far from it.

Jasper’s interface is intuitive, smooth, and it helps new users get up to speed with everything this writing assistant has to offer.

For example, you can change the tone of voice for your documents in a second, and you can use basically any word to do it — be it a proper adjective or the name of someone famous:

Tone of voice changes in Jasper

The templates and recipes also make it really easy to start outputting content right away.

And AI writing can’t get easier than just typing: >write a blog intro and getting a blog intro back for it.

artificial intelligence app to write essays

If you want something easy to use, Jasper’s the best pick.

Jasper AI's pricing

The pricing might drive some people away, though. And not just because it’s high.

Unless you get the boss mode of Jasper, you’re not getting the best AI writing software. Jasper’s cheaper plans are more of a trick to upsell you to the most expensive subscription.

Sure, $29/month sounds like a great deal.

It’s even cheaper than some of the other entries on our list. Copy AI’s cheapest paid plan is $35/month.

But if you don’t get Jasper’s Boss Mode, which starts at $59/month, you won’t get all the good stuff we praise about Jasper.

Our Experience With Jasper

We actually use Jasper in our day-to-day operations. We found it really helpful for whipping up listicles quickly.

And by quickly, I mean 30 minutes to an hour. With editing included.

We also fiddled around quite a lot with the long-form assistant.

Pssst, we have a YouTube channel, which includes a showdown between Jasper and a human writer. Give it a go:

The bottom line is this: Jasper AI is a very powerful tool if you know how to use it. Especially if you learn how to train the AI and give it advanced input.

Our Honest Take

Jasper AI is by far the best AI writing software. Sure, it outputs bad content at times. But so do most of its competitors.

And Jasper definitely makes up for it with helpful templates, recipes, easy navigation, fantastic add-ons, and the long-form assistant.

If you want to try it yourself…

You can get started with Jasper AI right now:

Rytr's website interface

Compact interface

Support for multiple languages, including Hindi

Output could be better

Can be confusing at first

Rytr is not as pretty as Jasper AI, Copy AI, or other competitors of theirs.

It can also be confusing when you first open it up.

If you want the best output and templates, you won’t find them here either.

Sounds like a bad pick? It’s not. Rytr is a really good affordable choice if you need AI writing software. Let’s delve deeper.

Rytr Features

A lot of AI writing software tools limit themselves to a simple workflow:

Choose a template -> give the AI writer some input -> get AI content back in just a few seconds.

Rytr has that as well.

But it also lets you edit multiple articles, posts, emails, or any other type of document.

On top, here are Rytr’s key features:

Document editing – Rytr has the closest thing to Jasper’s long-form assistant with their on-document edits. You can select a piece of text, and use plenty of tools to rephrase it, check it for grammar, or even shorten it.

GPT-3 – Just like the best AI writing software, Rytr uses GPT-3 to power its writing software.

Over 30 use cases – Some competitors offer more, but Rytr still covers the basics.

Compact interface – Everything you can do in Rytr is concentrated in one compact dashboard .

Multi-language support – Rytr takes input, and outputs content in over 30 languages, including Hindi.

SEMRush integration – If you want help researching keywords and an AI writer in the same tool, Rytr has it.

A picture of Rytr's interface

Although it can be confusing at first, Rytr’s interface is a plus when you understand how it works. That’s because it’s compact. Everything you can do in Rytr is here:

artificial intelligence app to write essays

Do you want to write a blog post and an outreach email in the same document? You can use Rytr’s AI writing assistant software to do so.

Comparatively, Jasper AI, Copy AI, and every other entry on our list have multiple dashboards, windows, and tabs.

No shade to that system! 

Both of them work, in my opinion.

Rytr just does things differently, and I think some of you will appreciate the integrated way of creating content in Rytr.

A screenshot of Rytr's pricing

Rytr has a free plan, which is great if you want to know how it works, and whether or not you’d enjoy using Rytr.

But it’s honestly just a trial, more so than a free plan. You’ll burn through 5000 characters in no time.

The Saver Plan is really affordable, at only $9/month. But 50,000 characters is still not enough if you want to produce content in bulk.

So that’s why, if you want to make the most out of Rytr, You’ll have to buy the Unlimited Plan. And for $29/month , you’d still be paying as much as you would on Jasper’s cheapest plan.

Our Experience With Rytr

We don’t use Rytr on a daily basis at Authority Hacker. Jasper’s Boss Mode is good enough to satisfy all of our AI writing needs.

But the time we played around with Rytr, we had a lot of fun! It’s a fast and complex tool, that doesn’t sacrifice user experience to give you a lot of control over its output.

Rytr is a really good AI writing app. If you want the full package — templates, custom use cases, good output, and smart document edits — Rytr is a great option that won’t run through your savings too fast.

And if you want to write content in Hindi… this is a no-brainer.

Rytr is the only tool that supports input and output in Hindi.

And the best part?

You can get started for free right now:

A screenshot of copy ai's website

Over 90 templates

Helps with writer’s block

Good interface and user experience

Content output is a hit or miss

No long-form assistant

Copy AI is based on the same tech as Rytr and Jasper AI: GPT-3. It also has plenty of templates, editing tools, and even a grammar checker.

It’s advertised as a great way to help you overcome writer’s block , and that’s accurate. Copy AI can use machine learning to help writers create content when they’re stumped.

a screenshot of Copy AI features

Copy AI’s toolset doesn’t differ too much from the other tools you’ve seen so far. It’s got templates, decent output, and plenty more things you can use to create content faster and better.

If you want an overview, here are the main features of Copy AI:

Fast output – If you want a bit of content to get started writing, Copy AI will deliver that pretty fast.

GPT-3 – Like its competitors, Copy AI is based on GPT-3.

Over 90 templates – Enough to cover any content and copywriting need

Fun Templates for personal projects – I can’t promise you that they’re extremely useful, but they can help boost your inspiration.

Multi-language support – Copy AI works in over 25 languages.

Other tools and add-ons – Things like a verb booster, sentence simplifier, and grammar checker all make your content production smoother.

A screenshot of Copy AI's interface

Some people claim Copy AI has the best interface out of all AI writing assistants. And I can see why. Copy AI is pretty, intuitive, and it’s easy to jump right into it.

The starting guide definitely helps:

A screenshot of Copy AI's starting guide

And the dashboard to fill in details for each template is very well made:

Copy AI Templates

Needless to say, you won’t get confused as to which buttons do what when using Copy AI. If you want great UX, this is probably the best AI writing software for you.

Copy AI Pricing

Copy AI has a free plan, which is a plus if you’re bootstrapping. But as its description says, it’s only suitable for testing. 10 credits is not a lot.

If you want to use Copy AI in your content creation, you’ll need the $35/month Pro plan.

Which is not a lot. It’s just slightly more expensive than Rytr or the lower Jasper tier.

So if you want help overcoming writer’s block, Copy AI is a great option. And you won’t break the bank with a subscription.

Our Experience With Copy AI

Let’s get one thing out of the way: Copy AI’s output is not as good as Rytr or Jasper’s . Copy AI often misses the mark on some templates, and other times it’ll just take your input, format it differently, and deliver that as “AI-generated content”.

That’s why we put Copy AI lower on our list.

But that’s not to say it’s a bad tool. Copy AI can also output high-quality content. Not to mention, it’s the only AI writing tool to support fun templates , and all of it is beautifully packaged.

Copy AI is a great pick if you want a cheaper alternative to Jasper, and you don’t like Rytr’s interface or templates. However, we can only imagine how great this tool would be with some form of long-form assistant and better output.

If you like what you saw, you can try Copy AI for free right now:

4 Writesonic

A screenshot of Writesonic's website

Great short-form copy templates

Long-form assistant available

Relatively affordable

Grammar issues with some output

Cluttered interface

If you write a lot of marketing copy , and you want to automate that, Writesonic might be the pick for you.

They have tons of templates for this specific purpose. You can use it to create anything from a LinkedIn description to ad copy meant for Facebook or Google.

Writesonic features

Writesonic is your average automated article writing software, at least in terms of features. It has templates to get you going, a simple process for content creation, and support for multiple languages.

More specifically, these are the main features of Writesonic:

Tons of marketing templates – Site copy, digital ads, or product descriptions, they’re all here.

Long-Form Assistant – Although it’s focused on short-form copy, Writesonic also has a long-form assistant.

GPT-3 – OpenAI’s model for AI writing seems to be everywhere. Writesonic is no exception.

Over 50 templates – They have some long-form, but most of them are focused on shorter copy.

Simple process for content creation – Just fill in some details about your copy, press “Generate”, and let Writesonic work its magic.

Multi-language support – Writesonic supports 24 languages.

Writesonic Interface

Writesonic’s interface is not bad, but it can also get pretty cluttered . As you see above, it’s not as clean as Jasper’s, or Copy AI’s.

Beyond that though, Writesonic moves fast, and its commands are pretty intuitive. Newcomers shouldn’t have a hard time getting started with it.

Writesonic Pricing

Writesonic’s pricing is pretty complex, going from free to try it out, all the way up to $95/month. What I like a lot about it is that the long-form assistant is available with a $15 subscription. Even if the credits are low, it’s great that you get strong tools with minimal investment.

By comparison, Jasper asks for $59/month if you want access to the long-form assistant.

But if we’re fair, you need unlimited credits to make the most out of Writesonic’s toolset. That’s why we recommend you at least invest in the Professional subscription ($45/month).

Writesonic is a good pick if you want to use AI to generate short-form marketing copy in bulk. Its unlimited credits plan is affordable, and it comes with a long-form assistant. Not to mention, all the templates it has are enough to help with any digital copy demand.

5 ContentBox.AI

Content Box AI Website

Great content optimization tools

Basic tools for AI content generation

Browser extensions

Barebones AI generation suite

Very few templates

ContentBox.AI is not as complex as other entries on this list. It doesn’t have support for dozens of languages, or tons of extras. But it can output decent content, and it’s really good at content optimization with the help of AI.

ContentBox's Features

ContentBox uses natural language processing to optimize your content. And that’s one of the reasons people sign-up for a ContentBox subscription.

The browser extensions also make it really easy to optimize any type of content, with minimal set-up. So all in all, ContentBox AI is easy to use.

ContentBox's Pricing

ContentBoxAI is a bit more expensive than the market average. The cheapest plan is $49/month , but it’s pretty barebones. The core functionality is there, yet you only get 500 characters to input data about your content, support for just one language, and a 10,000 words cap.

If you want to use ContentBox to its full extent, you’ll need at least the Professional plan, which is $69/month . It comes with support for 11 languages, a 40,000 words cap, and 500 characters for your input.

You also get a 7-day money-back guarantee on all plans, perfect if you just want to try it out for a little bit.

A screenshot of Frase IO's website

Great research tools

All-in-one content creation suite

Helpful content optimization features

A bit expensive

Interface can get confusing

Tries to do too much at once

Frase IO won’t astound anyone with its AI content generation. But it does bring more to the table: topic research, SERP analysis , and a deep dive into what people are asking about a specific keyword.

So let’s see what it can do.

artificial intelligence app to write essays

Frase IO is a special mix of a tool. Not just an AI writing software, and not just a research tool. It combines everything site owners need to output content faster.

Here are Frase IO’s main features:

In-dept research – Frase IO takes your keyword, and delivers topic, SERP, and community research on it.

Content Optimization – Like Surfer SEO, Frase suggests keywords to use in each document.

Over 10 Content Templates – Frase IO doesn’t rely too much on these, but they’re helpful to get you started.

Decent AI writing software – It’s not based on GPT-3, so results may vary. But it can do a good job sometimes.

Fully fleshed document editor – Including SEO checker, grammar corrections, and a rudimentary task management system.

Frase IO's main dashboard

Frase Io is much more complex than any other tool we’ve explored so far. And that can sometimes lead to confusion as to where to find some features.

For example, once you’re in the document editor, it’s cumbersome to get back to the research tab.

But with all of these issues, Frase IO manages to stay somewhat user-friendly. If you give it a few hours, you’ll know exactly where everything is , and how to make the most of it.

The starting guide also helps a lot:

artificial intelligence app to write essays

It’s not on par with Jasper, Copy AI, or Surfer SEO. But it’s still easy enough to use so it doesn’t become a downside.

Frase IO Pricing

Frase IO has a complex pricing scheme. The cheapest you can get it for is $39.99/month , and it goes up to $114.99/month. However, that’s the price for just the research tools of Frase IO.

If you want the SEO Add-on, which includes content generation and content optimization, you’ll have to pay an extra $35/month.

Which brings the total to $75-$80/month . That’s what you’ll have to pay if you want to make the most out of Frase IO. It’s more expensive than your average AI writing tool, but on-par with the market when compared to other tools that also offer research features.

Our Experience With Frase IO

Frase IO is not perfect. We loved its research tools, which really give you an in-depth understanding of a topic. But in our experience, its content generator can miss the mark sometimes.

The content optimization tools are decent. But we’ve had much more success with Surfer SEO. And it’s much easier to use.

Frase IO tries to do a lot of things at once. Research, AI content generation, content optimization, and even task management. It gets some of these things right. Especially the research.

But for all the other ones, there are better tools out there. Tools that solve one specific problem.

If you want them all in one place though, you can get started with $44.99/month right now:

7 GrowthBar

GrowthBar's Website

Basic keyword and competitor research

Useful content optimization tools

Pretty affordable

Barebones SEO features

AI writing assistant is a hit or miss

GrowthBar is an AI assistant focused on SEO.

It has the average tools to help you write content, metadata, etc.

But on top of that, GrowthBar boasts many features that help you research keywords, competitors, topics , and other crucial information for SEO.

GrowthBar Features

Growthbar has everything you need to research a keyword and your SERP competition, and then generate content to outrank them.

Here’s what it can do:

Keyword research tool – Get information like monthly searches or ranking difficulty.

Keyword ranking tool – Lets you keep track of how your articles are performing.

Competitor research – You can use Growthbar to keep tabs on your SERP competitors.

GrowthBar's Interface

Growthbar has an intuitive and smooth interface. It’s a pleasure to work in the tool, and you always know where to go if you need to use a feature. Considering how stacked its toolset is, this is an impressive achievement.

This applies to all of its dashboards and suites – whether you need keyword research, or AI writing, you can access it easily.

artificial intelligence app to write essays

Growthbar has one of the best pricing schemes in this niche. Its cheapest plan, which only costs $48/month ($29 when paid for a full year), gives you access to all the tools Growthbar can boast with.

The only reason you’d upgrade is if you need more than the 25-articles limit in the cheapest plan.

But honestly, that’s not a bad limit. You can get a lot done with 25 articles per month.

Growthbar overlaps in functionality with a lot of behemoths in the online world. We wouldn’t use its keyword and competitor research features, since we already use Ahrefs. We wouldn’t use its content optimization features, since we already use Surfer SEO.

Not to mention, the SEO features are pretty slimmed down in terms of functionality.

But if you want a tool that does all of them (to differing degrees of success), and AI writing on top, you can try Growthbar today:

If you don’t want to wait minutes on end for content to generate, and you don’t want to dig too deep in your pockets, PepperType AI might be the solution you’re looking for.

It’s a pretty simple AI content writer, but it’s focused on speed in delivery.

PepperType AI's Features

PepperType AI seems pretty slim from the outside. Just your average AI writing tool, right?

Not really. PepperType has A LOT of helpful templates, a strong content generation suite, and plenty more on top. It’s also trusted by big brands like Facebook, Amazon, or Adobe.

If you want a rundown of its features, here they are:

Quick AI Content Generation – Generate AI content as fast as current technology can.

Over 30 templates – PepperType has plenty of pre-made templates to help you kickstart content production.

Simple process for Ai writing – PepperType AI can write for you in just 3 steps.

Lightweight toolset- Not too advanced, but that makes PepperType very easy to operate.

The main interface of PepperType AI

PepperType has the template AI writing design. A dashboard to oversee your work, a dashboard for templates, and a window to fill in details about the content you need.

It’s all pretty straightforward. And the content production workflow is seamless, so PepperType AI is overall well-designed, and easy to use.

The Pricing of PepperType AI

PepperType’s pricing is slightly below the market average. At least for the Starter Plan. It only costs $25/month, and it includes everything PepperType can do to speed up your content production.

If you want coworking tools, you’ll have to pay $165/month for their Growth plan.

But all of these price points can change based on how many user seats you need. For example, you can get the Starter plan, but for two users, and it’ll cost you $50/month.

All of the user seats come with their own 50,000 words cap.

If you like Jasper’s speed, but don’t want to spend a hundred bucks a month to get started, PepperType AI is probably the best alternative. It’s lightning fast, it’s affordable, and it has an impressive amount of templates.

Anyword Website Screenshot

Special features to engage your audience

Clean and fast interface

Easy to use

Pretty expensive

All the cool features are very pricey

Struggling to connect with your target audience? Anyword might help.

It’s an AI writing software with all the usual bells and whistles — templates, multi-language support, etc. But it takes it a step further: dedicated support for engaging an audience with its AI-generated content.

Let’s see how it works.

Anyword's Features

Anyword helps you generate AI content, all while keeping a specific audience in mind. Whether you’re targeting Gen Z gamers, or potential cruise ship passengers, it’s supposedly able to adapt.

How can it do that? Here are Anyword’s main features:

Audience Engagement Score – Anyword scores your content based on how likely it is to engage an audience.

Customer profiles – These let you target specific audience with your AI-generated copy.

Great support for content templates – You can create your own, or use one from Anyword.

Optimize content on-site – You can use Anyword’s API to continuously optimize content on your site.

Conversion-driven approach – Everything in Anyword is made to help you sell more.

Anyword's Interface

Anyword’s interface is pretty clean. It can do a lot, so it’s really helpful that you can catch onto what each dashboard does.

Not to mention, you get a guide to get started by creating your first blog post in Anyword:

Anyword's Starting Guide

You can hit the ground running with this AI writing software .

Anyword's Pricing

Anyword is a strong pick if you need an AI writer that helps you convert more. But that won’t come cheap. The lowest subscription tier for Anyword will set you back $83/month , while the most expensive plan is $999/month.

What hurts most is that some of the coolest features of Anyword, like its integration with your landing pages, are only available for $266/month.

So Anyword isn’t the right pick if you’re bootstrapping. It requires a serious investment.

Anyword is a very special AI writing tool. It won’t aimlessly generate content, but rather ground it in what your specific audience wants to see. So it can work wonders for your sales, but that won’t be cheap.

If you can afford it, it’s a smart investment. And with our link, you can get started for free:

11 Outranking.io

Outranking's website

Topic and keyword research

Content optimizer

Data-driven approach

Not the best AI writer

The interface can get cluttered

(don’t confuse it with Outranking.com, which is an SEO agency)

Outranking has a data-driven approach to generating AI content.

It does this with a clear workflow that takes you through SERP analysis, SEO scoring, and AI writing assistance.

Outranking's Feature table

In many ways, Outranking.io is very similar to Frase IO. It researches a topic and then creates an article for you step-by-step.

After this process, you can also optimize the content.

Here’s how you do all of it in Outranking.io :

Topic Research – Outranking.io takes your keyword, and analyzes an ideal structure for your article, what people are talking about on that topic, and plenty more.

Content Brief Generation – Based on that research, Outranking creates a content brief for your article.

AI writing – Outranking.io can use AI to generate content based on the brief.

Optimize content on-page – A quick and easy way to improve your content.

Default to data – Outranking helps you generate and improve your content with a data-driven approach.

Outranking's Interface

While Outranking’s interface can be pretty cluttered , you won’t struggle too much to understand what goes where. The process to take your content from keyword to finished article is also clearly outlined, so you know at all times what you have to do.

Their content optimizer is also much prettier than that of Frase IO. But in our book, it still doesn’t surpass Surfer SEO .

Outranking's Pricing

Outranking.io is pretty affordable. The best thing is that for the cheapest plan, you’ll get all the tools it has to offer. The only difference is in the content cap. And ten documents (60,000 words) for $40/month is a pretty good deal.

The closest thing to Outranking.io is Frase IO. And for that tool, you’ll pay a minimum of $75/month if you want all of its features. So Outranking has a pretty good deal.

Outranking.io’s research is not as comprehensive as what you’ll get from Frase IO. But Outranking is prettier, and more affordable.

So if you want an AI writing tool that can also help you research your articles, Outranking is a budget friendly choice.

You can get it today for just $40 . Use OUTRANK50 code to get 50% off your first month.

12 Longshot AI

Longshot's website

Fact-checking features

Some research capabilities

Robust AI writing skills

Limited interface customization

Little style and tone options

LongShot AI is your average AI content writing assistant, complete with templates and all the bells and whistles you’d expect.

On top of that, LongShot AI also has research capabilities.

And to stand out from the competition: a fact-checking system for the content they output.

Longshot's Features

A big problem that AI writing tools face is that all the content they output needs to be fact-checked . A lot of times, what they write is… well, made up.

That’s the problem Longshot AI aims to solve.

Here are its main features:

Topic Research – Although it’s limited, Longshot can research a topic and suggest FAQs, or summarize the key points of a blog post.

Fact-Checking – Longshot will highlight potentially problematic claims in their content for you to analyze, and even fact-check an entire piece of text.

AI writing – Longshot is a pretty complex AI software. It has tons of templates, and quality of life tools to help you write faster.

Document editing – Rephrasing, summarizing, and explaining something simply, all help you improve content on page .

Longshot's Interface

There’s not much to say about Longshot’s interface. It’s your average AI writing UX, and it does a good job introducing new users to its system.

Their fact-checking highlights also make it really easy to check a text for accuracy.

It even has a list of LSI keywords for the document you’re editing on the right side window.

Longshot's Pricing

Longshot AI is pretty affordable. You’ll pay $29/month to unlock all of its features , and get about 50,000 words per month. That’s more than enough to cover your content needs.

If you want to try Longshot before committing to any plan, you can also use the basic subscription, which is free . But the word cap there won’t let you use it forever. And you can only try the AI generator, not the fact-checking system as well.

Lastly, you can also subscribe to the Enterprise plan if you need coworking features and dedicated customer support. But it will cost you $89/month .

If you want an affordable AI writer that can help you fact-check content, Longshot AI might be the pick for you. It’s a good web app, it has a very helpful toolset, and you can even edit documents directly like you would in Rytr.

If that sounds good to you, use our link try Longshot AI for free today:

Lyne AI's Website

Great integrations

Impressive output quality

LinkedIn scraper

Hard to get started with

No customization options for content output

Lyne AI is an outreach too. It takes a prospect list (and even helps you scrape for one), and then generates AI content that you can use in emails for your leads.

Lyne AI's Features

Whether you’re reaching out to potential talent on LinkedIn or sending dozens of cold emails every day, Lyne AI can help.

But it’s not your average AI writer. In fact, it works very differently than all the other entries on this list. It just creates suggestions for content to use in outreach messages — like ice breakers.

Let’s see how it works. Here are Lyne AI’s main features:

Advanced research – Lyne AI scrapes the web to find as much information about your leads as possible.

Fast Content Generation – While the initial writing can take a few minutes, it will generate content for dozens, if not hundreds of emails.

LinkedIn Scraper – Lyne integrates with the Sales Navigator to add LinkedIn contacts straight to Lyne lists.

Other integrations – Lyne integrates seamlessly into your sales stack.

Easy Data Imports – If you already have a list, you can get started with Lyne in a matter of minutes.

Lyne's Interface

Lyne is a very well-designed app. Once you get used to it, you’ll love its shortcuts and the overall user experience. However, it can be confusing when you get started. Especially if you haven’t used a similar tool beforehand.

There is a demo of the app, yes. But it doesn’t do a good job of showing you what goes where.

Lyne AI's Pricing

Lyne AI is very affordable, and it has a straightforward pricing scheme. You can try it for free, with only 25 credits (which translates to around 25 emails).

Or you can pay a minimum of $25/month to unlock more credits. Both plans also support a pay-as-you-go model . It’s a different pricing scheme from all the other entries on this list, but I think it works.

Lyne AI won’t write emails from start to finish. You’ll still need to edit its output. But it’s surprisingly good at kickstarting your sales and outreach copywriting processes. And it’s pretty affordable.

If that sounds good to you, try Lyne AI for free today:

Nyle AI's dashboard

Fit for eCommerce businesses

A LOT of tools

Useful templates

Few style and tone options

Nyle AI doesn’t seem too special at first glance. It looks like a regular AI writer, with stock images plastered all over their website. But Nyle does have a clear purpose — all of its tools and templates are built to help eCommerce businesses.

If you have an online store and you want to write faster, stick around.

Nyle AI's Features

Nyle offers business development services as an upsell. But we won’t focus on that. For this roundup, we’ll only look at its AI tool, and what it can do.

Spoiler: it can do A LOT. Nyle’s toolset is stacked.

Here are Nyle AI’s main features:

AI Writing – Nyle AI uses GPT-3 to generate content for eCommerce site owners.

Over 15 short-form templates – That’s not a lot, but remember that all of them are focused on short-form copywriting for eCommerce.

Free Form Writer – Not quite as good as Jasper’s, but still helpful to build pages with the help of AI.

Image enhancer – Nyle AI can sharpen and enhance your images .

Influencer research – If you want to start a social media campaign, Nyle can help you connect with the right authority figures.

Keyword Tracker – You can track up to 1 million keywords, and automatically tune their PPC settings.

Nyle AI's Interface

Nyle’s interface isn’t bad per se . It’s what you’d expect from an AI writer focused on eCommerce. The problem is that Nyle isn’t too easy to use. It’s a complex web app, and it can get confusing, especially for beginners.

But if you invest the time to learn its ins and outs, it’ll be worth it.

Nyle AI's Pricing

Nyle is slightly more expensive than your average AI writer. But I think its extra tools, and fine-tuned templates, make it a fair price for eCommerce businesses. If you pay for a full year in advance, you’ll spend $32.5/month.

However, the cheapest plan doesn’t have support for long-form, and it caps your content generation at 20,000 words. If you want to use Nyle AI hassle-free, you’ll need to buy the Pro plan, which is pricier.

If you run an eCommerce business (or if you write content for one), you might want to consider Nyle AI. Its templates and extra tools make it a really useful AI writer.

You might need to spend some time learning how to use the tool.

But once you get the hang of it, you’ll start reaping the rewards.

Try Nyle AI today for $32.5/month:

What Is The State Of AI Content Generation Today?

AI writing software can streamline your writing process.

Even with current technology, that’s undeniable. In most AI writing assistants, you can pick the AIDA template, describe your product, and get a decent snippet of copy built on the AIDA model

With some editing, you can use that snippet of content in your marketing efforts.

Most AI writing tools offer much more than just a single marketing template.

Most of them have dozens:

Some Jasper AI templates

All of which can create general copy, product descriptions, social media posts, and everything in between.

So for that purpose, AI content generation can improve your processes, especially if you train the AI to understand your content (more on that in our Jasper AI review).

However, the current generation of AI writing tools (most of them based on GPT-3) has a long way to go before replacing human writers.

For starters, the content is often not factual. AI writing tools like to make stuff up. On top of that, you can also get buggy output.

And besides Jasper AI, most of the other tools on this list struggle with long-form content.

The final nail in the coffin?

Google discourages (and may penalize) content generated with the help of AI.

So that’s why, in my opinion, AI writing assistants have limited uses today. But they’re better than yesterday, and I’m hyped to see what the future holds for this niche.

Conclusion: How To Pick The Best AI Writing Software For You

Jasper AI is by far the best AI writing software.

So if you’re undecided, just pick Jasper . It’s a safe bet. And you get 10,000 free words with our link.

There are two main reasons you wouldn’t want Jasper AI, though: pricing and supported languages.

If Jasper’s Boss mode is too expensive for you, Rytr or Copy AI might be better options. (You can also check out our Jasper AI Alternatives and Jasper AI vs Copy AI) .

If Jasper can’t generate content in the language you need, Rytr probably has you covered. If not, check the other entries above.

And lastly — pick any other tool from the list above if you like some of their other perks. For example, Frase IO is a wonderful choice if you want research and keyword optimization on top of AI content.

What is the best AI writing tool?

The best AI writing software is Jasper AI . There are a lot of AI writing software out there that can compete, including Rytr , Copy AI , or Frase IO . But Jasper stands out thanks to its long-form assistant, sound output, and tons of add-ons.

If you want the best AI writer, look no further.

What are AI content writing tools?

AI content writing tools use machine learning and artificial intelligence for content creation. They can imitate humans writing something with little input, but the quality of content creation in these apps can vary drastically from one project to another.

Is AI Writing free?

Most AI writing tools have a free version that people can use to try out artificial intelligence writing. But for all the features and unlimited credits to write content, you’ll probably have to buy the paid version of AI writing software.

How We Evaluated the Best AI Writing Tools

We weighed the best tools across five categories –each category has sub-categories that helped us evaluate and compare the AI writing tools.

We examined the different pricing plans offered by each AI writing tool. This included evaluating the cost of the tool on a monthly or annual basis, as well as any additional fees or hidden costs. We compared each tool’s cost to its value, looking for tools that offer a high level of functionality for a reasonable price.

Features set – 30%

We assessed the writing capabilities of each tool, including its grammar and spelling correction, sentence rephrasing, and content generation capabilities. We looked for tools that provided accurate and high-quality writing suggestions.

Ease of use – 10%

We looked for tools that have an intuitive and user-friendly interface, allowing users to navigate and utilize the tool’s features easily.

Quality of output – 25%

We evaluated the accuracy and coherence of the generated content produced by each AI writing tool. Tools that could generate clear, well-structured, and error-free content received higher scores.

Support – 15%

We assessed the availability and responsiveness of customer support channels, such as email, live chat, or phone support. Prompt and helpful customer support is essential for users who may encounter issues or need assistance with the tool. We also considered the availability of resources and documentation, such as user guides, tutorials, or knowledge bases.

Our review identified the best AI writing tools to help your writing needs. While the above choices are excellent for now, please check back for updates – this market is constantly changing.

Your guide to AI writing software

AI writing software

  • AI writing software
  • A short history

The teams that benefit

Get started, ai writing software is your friend, not your competition.

First things first: Artificial Intelligence (AI) will never replace the thoughts, stories, and ideas of humans. Creativity can’t be replicated — full stop. But, AI writing software can catalyze content creation and create a standardized approach to content production.

AI writing software is here to automate repetitive and not-so-fun tasks. Consider it your team’s special assistant. It can polish writing, speed up content generation, improve quality, grammar check overlooked errors, and help maintain voice consistency. In a nutshell, AI writing software can help ensure that all of your content is up to par with your company’s writing style and quality — in a fraction of the time.

What is AI writing software?

AI writing software are online tools that use artificial intelligence to generate text based on inputs from its users. Not only can they generate text, you can also use them to catch grammatical errors and writing mistakes to help improve your writing. AI writing tools have come a long way since a Stanford student created the first spellcheck software in the early 1970s.

Since then, spellcheck, grammar check, and autocorrect functionality have become commonplace, and people expect artificial intelligence to help them in their daily lives — whether they realize it’s AI or not.

And now, with the rise of generative AI tools , writing with AI will become the norm rather than the exception. Generative AI software combines the benefits of checking for grammatical errors with the ability to output human-sounding content instantly.

AI writing tools are easy to use, fast, and convenient. They’ve even evolved to work as browser extensions and desktop apps.

A short history of AI writing software

  • 1971 The first spell check is open-sourced by a graduate student at Stanford’s Artificial Intelligence Laboratory.
  • 1981 Grammatik is the earliest grammar checker to hit the market. More of a style and diction checker for PCs, it was years before it could check actual grammatical mistakes. Grammatik was eventually acquired by WordPerfect Corporation and integrated with the WordPerfect word processor.
  • 1993 Dean Hachamovitch at Microsoft invents autocorrect for Word, creating a UX pattern that becomes familiar to billions of computer users. An early grammar checker is released as well.
  • 2007 Autocorrect comes to Apple’s mobile OS.
  • 2010–2020 Years of progress in machine learning, natural language processing (NLP), and neural networks allow for the next generation of paid and free writing assistants to be AI-based.
  • 2022 Tools like Grammarly include options to edit and restructure full sentences to improve grammar and syntax. The tl;dr: advances in deep learning (i.e., neural networks) meant that massive bodies of well-edited content could train a grammar model on what good grammar looks like — no complex rules necessary. Read more here .

Machine learning explosion

  • Feb 2019 Google’s AI-based grammar checker comes to Google Docs.
  • Apr 2019 Writer’s AI-based grammar and proofreading check is released, allowing AI-based writing assistance across the web through its Chrome extension.
  • Sep 2019 Grammarly releases its tone detector.
  • Nov 2019 OpenAI releases a full version of GPT-2, an AI-based text generator that can create human-sounding long-form content (including fake news).
  • Jun 2020 With advances in NLP and ML, OpenAI releases GPT-3 , trained to generate natural language and style variations.
  • Jan 2021 DALL-E, which uses GPT-3 to generate images from written descriptions, is released.
  • Nov 2022 OpenAI releases ChatGPT, an AI chat that uses large language models (LLM) to generate outputs from prompts.
  • Feb 2023 Writer releases Palmyra , an LLM that is trained on secured enterprise content.
  • Mar 2023 Google releases its own generative AI, Bard. OpenAI releases GPT-4 , able to analyze text and media inputs.

Who benefits from using AI generation tools ?

Content marketers Content marketing specialists rely on AI writing software to make sure their writing is engaging and written in a consistent voice across all platforms — including websites, blog articles, and social media.

In addition to editing, AI writing tools can also generate blog posts, outline frameworks for thought-leadership pieces, generate social copy for distribution, and repurpose content. Brand management Similar to content marketers, creative teams and copywriters use AI writing tools to write with a consistent voice across multiple mediums — including product and services descriptions, brand messaging and positioning , and advertising copy. AI writing software allows brand teams to input their terminology , style guide , voice, and tone standards to be applied to content.

Writer offers Chrome extensions so that your content is consistent no matter where it’s written. This is particularly helpful for any interactions with customers through email or social media platforms, as you can be confident your brand tone is consistent at every customer touchpoint. Communications Communications professionals — such as those who work for PR agencies, nonprofits, and government agencies — use AI writing assistants to ensure that they’re writing in the most appropriate tone for their target audience . 

Communications leaders also use AI writing software to proofread their content and make sure it’s on brand and consistent with other organizational announcements. Writer offers a helpful style guide to ensure your messaging follows the brand guidelines and uses inclusive language. You can input your brand’s style guide directly into the platform, and Writer will automatically scan your content and make suggestions to make sure product terminology, jargon, and language are accurately represented. This feature eliminates the need for cross-referencing between documents. Support, training, and documentation Customer support teams and customer service agents use AI writing tools to scale the process of writing effective emails, chats, help desk content , and other messaging and information for customers. AI writing software helps large teams ensure they’re providing consistent answers to customers’ questions and problems.

And with features like Knowledge Graph in Writer, teams always have the information they need at their fingertips. It connects content creation to your company’s databases, resource documents, and company information. Customer support agents can feel confident in their answers  — without having to leave the draft and waste time scouring through endless documents. Human resources HR teams and recruiters use AI writing software to scale the process of posting job descriptions, recruiting materials, company promotions, and internal company communications. Specialized AI software helps ensure messaging is inclusive, comprehensive, and written in a welcoming tone. Product UX Product designers and content strategists who collaborate to build websites, apps, and other digital products use AI writing assistants to help scale the process of producing consistent content across pages and digital properties. SEO professionals SEO teams use AI writing tools to ensure website copy is clear, high-quality, free of grammar mistakes, and SEO-friendly. This type of content is exactly what Google is looking for, and you’ll be rewarded with higher search rankings.

And by using AI tools to write content for a certain keyword, you can be certain you’ll hit your SEO best-practices target. Writer can input and create content for the targeted keyword that comes across as natural and SEO-optimized.

Writer also offers teams the convenience of having their content prepped for SEO and distribution with the highlights feature. Imagine a world where as soon as you’ve finished polishing your final draft, a perfect meta description has already been created for you. Well, we’ve done just that. Authors As the saying goes, editing is perhaps the most important part of writing. Literary writers, journalists, essayists, bloggers, and other wordsmiths use AI writing assistants to help them revise and polish their books, articles, and other content. AI software has even evolved to help with topical research.

Thanks to the advancement of AI writing software, editing goes further than spelling and grammar checks. Now, with the click of a button, Writer helps authors get alternative suggestions to make their content simpler or more enriched. 

With the rise of AI, quality content goes beyond error-free copy. It needs to strike a balance between the right information with the right bit of human experience, pulled together with a strong brand tone. 

When considering what type of AI writing tool will support your team, consider a platform that improves and enhances your company’s style.  Here’s a guide to help you find the platform that best fits your needs: Writer vs. Grammarly Job seekers and resume writers Now that many organizations use AI to filter resumes and scan for keywords and criteria that match position descriptions, job seekers benefit from using AI as well. Job seekers use AI writing assistants to ensure their resumes and cover letters are well-written and free of errors and to help optimize their profiles and resumes for applicant tracking systems (ATS). Students and scholars Students and scholars benefit from using AI writing tools to help correct spelling and grammar mistakes , clarify meaning, and polish sentence structure. Students use these tools not only to produce better quality work but to learn how to improve their writing in the process.

And with the inclusion of plagiarism checkers, students can be sure their work is original and plagiarism-free . English as a second language (ESL) writers People whose first language isn’t English use AI writing assistants to edit their writing for grammar, word usage, spelling, and other common writing mistakes. AI writing software not only corrects their writing but helps improve their writing skills through real-time education. Some specialized tools translate writing into multiple languages and provide dictionary definitions to help users make sure they’re selecting the correct words for their writing projects.

AI writing tools for content strategy

Content types

  • Product updates
  • White papers

Content strategy includes anything from 400-600 words for short blog posts, product updates, or customer briefs, to 2,000-plus words for case studies, white papers, and collateral. It’s key for content strategists to implement a consistent voice in whatever content is being written.

In addition to adhering to style guidelines, AI writing tools can help make your posts more interesting and reader-friendly. Produce high-quality content and rank higher in search engines with AI on your side.

Scale your strategy As a content strategist, you can define and set the strategy, but you can’t write everything that falls under this umbrella. AI content generation can help you scale your efforts and ensure that writers are sticking to your defined strategy.

Enforce a company-wide style guide A style guide is a crucial element for any company that’s producing content (which is, well, all of them). AI writing tools can ensure that everyone is adhering to your style guide and using the proper terminology, punctuation, tone, and style.

Write inclusively Avoid using any outdated or discriminatory language in your content. AI writing software can flag this type of language and help you keep your voice inclusive and unbiased with modern alternatives to outdated language.

Repurpose your content Running out of blog ideas or need some help with your digital marketing plan? AI writing tools can aid you in rephrasing your content so you get more out of it. It’s more than just rewording ideas but completely repurposing your content into new, original content.

For example, with Ask Writer, you could take a high-engaging LinkedIn post and ask it to transform it into a blog outline.

Case study: how HubSpot uses Writer to streamline UX writing HubSpot’s content design team uses Writer to scale-up production of high-quality, consistent UX content, and give users a joined-up experience across the platform.

Thanks to terms in Writer, the HubSpot team has the ability to guide writers to use company-approved terminology, so they can maintain strong and consistent messaging across all its content. Before they used Writer, all their important terms were scattered across multiple spreadsheets, and they had no way of telling if anyone ever looked at them.

“Writer helps our team not just work faster but more confidently. They feel that they’re making better decisions,” says Jonathon Colman, who co-leads HubSpot’s content design practice.

Writer gives HubSpot one source of truth, but it also ensures compliance as writers are guided on the appropriate terms and terminology of the company. Interested in learning more? Check out Faster, better, together: How the HubSpot content team uses Writer

AI writing tools for marketing

  • Social media posts
  • Landing pages
  • Product descriptions
  • Webinar recaps

Marketing and sales content is usually created by people who are already strong writers, so AI writing tools need to go way beyond grammar and spelling.

The focus needs to be on creating marketing copy that’s written in an objective, helpful tone and maintained throughout a piece. This content is usually aiming to inform, educate, and persuade its audience — which also impacts word choice.

Enhancing marketers’ knack for writing copy with tools that echo the brand’s style makes building brand reputation easier than before.

Increase clarity and consistency Improve clarity and increase conversions with shorter sentences and lower grade-level writing. Excessive wordiness and industry jargon won’t make you sound more professional — AI can help you sound like a pro while still being understandable.

Writer offers handy “polish” and “simplify” options that break down walls of text into easily digestible pieces.

Share guidelines with everyone No need to worry about marketing copy sounding different depending on who wrote it. All your writing rules and preferences can be shared with everyone when you select the right AI writing tool for you and your team.

AI tools are especially helpful in providing every writer with accessible and easy-to-implement writing guidelines. With AI tools, content is generated following style guides, which means writers can effortlessly align their writing to the brand style without spending a lot of time in the editing stage.

Utilize marketing apps Save time by using AI apps that mold a use case to your content needs depending on your outputs. No need to rewrite sales copy or remember specific product descriptions when you have AI writing apps to do that for you.

Each app comes formatted to match the intent of the content. Even better? They’re created from your inputs and personalized to your needs. It helps your team get ahead with a solid first draft that just needs a little human touch.

Case study: use AI writing software to optimize marketing content Ivanti uses Writer to hit all their targets and speed up their writing tasks. Thanks to Writer, their team can focus on strategic processes instead of spending time writing content from scratch. 

“My ratio of writing to editing has become much more lopsided on the editing side since starting Writer, as opposed to the curse of the blinking cursor blank page,” says Ashley Stryker, Ivanti’s senior content marketing manager.

And Ivanti’s terminology is always expanding, so they needed AI writing software that would continuously learn and grow. Thanks to Writer’s ability to be trained on the company’s marketing materials, the team can continuously optimize their content without spending time training the platform.

AI writing assistants for editorial

  • Press releases
  • Newsletters

Enforce your editorial guidelines easily with AI writing software. Content teams tend to have a mix of experienced content writers, so it’s important to use an AI writing tool that features robust grammar and language checkers as well as advanced business writing features.

AI writing software can help editorial teams create brand champions across the company by making it easy to use branded terms and a consistent voice and writing style wherever important content is being developed.

By correcting off-brand tone and suggesting more brand-appropriate language, an AI writing assistant can help an editorial team take dusty editorial guidelines and really execute them.

Enjoy automated editorial corrections Configure your writing style rules — from punctuation to capitalization — and apply them to everyone. Spend less time copyediting minor, repetitive mistakes, and let AI take care of that for you.

Writer speeds up the process by automatically suggesting changes and explaining terms during the drafting process. The ability to correct inside drafts means that every writer, whether in-house or freelance, follows the same rules.

Improve clarity, readability, and delivery An AI writing assistant can help you use the active voice, write engaging headings, include clear calls to action, and present relevant information. Ensure you’re using the best (and most straightforward) language to convey your points and key messages.

Tools like Writer allow you to shorten text with its generative features, which saves time in the editing stage. And when you use Writer to generate content, you have complete creative control over the tone.

Coach your contributors Ensure crisp, clear, error-free writing across the board from writers and non-writers alike. Freelancers or new hires joining your team will be able to write on-brand from the jump with help from an AI writing assistant.

Using writing software like Writer makes it easy to onboard new writers and set them up for success with tools that have been trained on your brand tone.

Case study: how Intuit uses Writer to build a strong voice The Intuit content strategy team uses Writer to reinforce their editorial design system in Figma and Google Docs and help their teams follow editorial styles. Writer’s snippets feature can provide all writers with a template to follow, which ensures brand consistency.

“We needed documentation and systems that would help to declare what our decisions around language and style and voice are, and then share those with the entire organization and demonstrate that we were taking leadership over voice and language decisions,” says Tina O’Shea, who leads Intuit’s 60-person content strategy team.

They were able to do this thanks to Writer’s ability to store style guides and use snippets to help writers maintain a strong voice.

AI writing assistants for support

  • Agent emails
  • Customer chat communications

When supporting customers and users — whether through email or chat — tone matters. Give your agents the right words to use.

Being able to set an overall language complexity setting for your audience depending on the type of service you provide is important. Related to that is the ability to customize terminology for your audience so that the words you use are consistent across the entire lifecycle, helping establish a taxonomy for your product or service with your audience.

Enforce custom terminology/rules Consistently apply key messaging and ensure no one bungles your elevator pitch, value propositions, or mission statement again.

Maintain on-brand writing Use AI writing tools to configure a content tone specific to your brand and align your agents with a friendly, approachable tone and language. Helpful word suggestions will ensure that everyone is writing in the company’s voice. With writing software that allows you to input your company’s style guide, you ensure your whole team can adhere to it.

Reuse snippets Writing assistants such as Writer have evolved to create “snippets” that allow you to send the same, consistent message. Don’t let support agents waste valuable time typing out the same thing again and again.

Case study: how iManage used Writer to boost support documentation With the help of Writer, iManage increased their knowledge document creation from less than 200 to over 1,000 articles a year.

iManage accelerated their documents and support by leaning on Writer for help with the creation process. They no longer have backlogs of articles to edit, nor do they spend time training new writers. Instead, Writer helped their subject matter experts transform their knowledge into digestible and helpful pieces of content.

AI writing assistants for documentation

  • Knowledgebase articles
  • Technical documentation

Documentation is a vital part of a company’s operations — though there’s no denying it’s not the most exciting part.

Documentation is already quite a specialized communication function, and complicating this workflow slows technical writers down. Spend less time on this process while still maintaining a professional writing style with AI writing assistants.

Speed up the writing process Write your documents efficiently with a writing assistant that offers real-time autocorrect and autocomplete. Don’t spend valuable time working tirelessly on documents when AI can improve your productivity.

With Writer, you can set up the outline of your blog using the blog post builder and then let Writer fill in the rest. This gives your team more creative control over the direction of the article without spending a lot of time writing a draft.

Rephrase your text Receive suggestions on other ways to present your ideas. Restructure sentences or paragraphs to make content easier to read and tailored to your target audience and avoid writer’s block.

Write as one Anyone at your company can create documents, but it’s crucial for them to all sound as if they were written by the same person. AI can help keep your writing style in sync so that everyone is representing your company’s voice properly.

Case study: how 6sense uses Writer for customer support 6sense leans into Writer to enhance the customer experience at every content touchpoint. Their aim is to help their customers with support documentation that’s both conversational and helpful. They use Writer to transform what might be hard-to-follow or bland copy into an extension of their brand tone.

“One of the use cases that we wanted to be able to use Writer for was our product documentation. We’ve got great product documentation written by our product team, so it’s not necessarily digestible. So, to be able to take product documentation and edit it and create that voice that we would be able to do if we did it ourselves,” says Latané Conant, chief market officer at 6sense.

“It’s literally taking documentation and saying, ‘Make this sound more conversational.’ My favorite use case goes similarly back to that voice and brand.”

Latané says the team was looking for a best-in-class solution that could help them maintain the smallest nuances of their brand. That’s one of the reasons they chose Writer.

“We sweat the small stuff. That comes down to training the AI on our voice, our tone, you know, those little niceties that we thought were really important for us from a brand perspective, weren’t nice-to-haves. They were must-haves. When it came to us really adopting generative AI, the way that we wanted to adopt it.”

AI writing assistants for learning and development

  • Instructional materials
  • Academic papers

Both students and teachers benefit from using AI writing assistants. Students can use AI writing tools to learn more about writing fundamentals and best practices while they’re writing papers or working on research projects and homework assignments.

Teachers can benefit from AI writing tools to speed up the process of reviewing students’ work and make sure they’re adhering to specific style guidelines.

In addition to checking grammar, punctuation, spelling, and readability, students can use AI writing assistants to properly format citations using MLA and APA standards . Teachers can use these same tools to check that all sources have been cited correctly and also verify the originality of students’ work with plagiarism checkers.

Onboard and train quickly Train new instructional designers on voice, terminology, and style in a snap. Make learning sticky with detailed, helpful, in-context tips and explanations. They’ll be writing like you in no time.

Write with inclusive language Write inclusive curricula with in-line corrections for outdated, ableist, or gendered language . AI writing assistants can catch and correct any discriminatory language.

Check for plagiarism Tools can tell you whether your writing contains plagiarized content and flag passages that require citations. AI assistants help students write originally and allow teachers to ensure their writing is indeed organic.

Broaden vocabulary Enhance vocabulary (and learn new words while you’re at it!) with contextual synonym suggestions. Students can write papers of higher quality and improve their writing skills in the meantime.

Case study: how Neo uses Writer to onboard their writers The team at Neo uses Writer to generate drafts for blogs, emails, and social copy. Thanks to Writer’s LLM, which learns from company input, they can enforce their brand and terminology in all content pieces.

Using Writer, the team was able to show what the voice looked like for new writers and cement their writing style with one single source of truth.

AI writing assistants for human resources

  • Recruiting content
  • Careers websites
  • Job postings and job descriptions
  • Employee policies and communications
  • Internal wikis and helpdesks

Talking about “HR content” as a monolithic space is a little tricky, as the universe of HR content encompasses a variety of content types and content channels.

What is universal in HR content is that for the reader, this information is personal: it has to do with their futures, their careers, and their livelihoods. Getting both the context and the content wrong can be damaging to a brand or company. Improve your company’s work culture and ensure that all communication is done in a healthy manner.

Eliminate unconscious biases The words we use in job descriptions , career pages, and recruiting communications can inadvertently reduce your applicant pools. When you choose a writing assistant that has special HR features, you get a warning when you use these words/terms. Discrimination based on ability, sexual orientation, race, or national origin isn’t only against the law, it’s bad for business. Make sure you’re using language that’s above board, across the board.

Improve readability and clarity Ensure content is at the appropriate reading level for your employee base. AI can also confirm that sentences, paragraphs, and documents are structured for maximum comprehension and minimal reading time.

Ensure compliance and proper language Eliminate words or phrases associated with legal or HR risks while coaching employees on what to say instead. AI assistants have the technology to pinpoint improper language and offer more suitable suggestions.

Recyclable apps When you select an AI writing assistant that allows you to reuse apps, you can feel at ease knowing that communication will remain consistent and correct. Create apps related to performance feedback, difficult conversations, and more.

Case study: how Ellevest uses Writer to reinforce their community values Ellevest’s content strategy team uses Writer to help them ensure that all of their content is inclusive and follows their voice. Thanks to Writer, their team can check the content that doesn’t go through a formal editing process and still publish with confidence.

With the help of Writer, the team was able to transform the style guide and voice of experienced employees into an inclusive writing guide to “train more people on the style guide more quickly and release those bottlenecks,” says Deedi Brown, senior editor and content strategist at Ellevest. By doing so, not only are they able to stay compliant and reduce editing time, but they also increased cross-team content collaboration within the company.

This capability is especially valuable in fields with massive datasets, like genomics or social sciences.

Improved writing quality : AI-powered writing assistants can provide real-time feedback on grammar, style, and coherence. They can suggest improvements, ensuring that the final draft of a research paper or thesis is of high quality.

Plagiarism detection : AI tools can scan vast databases of academic content to ensure that a researcher's work is original and free from unintentional plagiarism .

AI Writing: What Is It And How Does It Work?

Artificial intelligence has been all the buzz since ChatGPT came into the mainstream in November 2022. The question of how we should ethically use AI in our everyday lives has been asked in academic and professional circles alike. Understanding AI writing software and how it works is an important part of knowing what you can and should be using it for. Our guide will answer some questions you might have, like “What is AI writing?”, “How should I use AI writing software?”, and others.

What is AI writing?

  • AI writing involves using artificial intelligence tools to create written content.
  • You can submit a prompt and have it write a short essay, for example, or draft a screenplay, write a short story, edit your content for grammatical/syntax errors, and beyond.
  • It completes the task in a matter of minutes, compared to the hours spent research and writing from scratch.
  • The capabilities depend on the software you use.

How does AI writing work? Have you ever used the predictive text feature on the keyboard on your smartphone or tablet? The AI of predictive text follows along with what you’re typing and provides “educated” guesses as to what you might say next based on your history of typing in a specific app. For example, if you’re telling a specific person that they’re awesome every day in a text message, your predictive text feature will guess that you’re going to say the same thing again. You’ll notice this in other apps on your phone as well.

Another example might be if you use your phone to upload and post YouTube videos. Your YouTube Studio app and the predictive AI will automatically assume certain words and phrases if you use them often in your titles and video descriptions. AI writing software does this on a much, much larger scale.

Rather than comparing your habits against themselves and making a prediction about what you’ll say next, an AI writing tool will gather information based on what other people have said in response to a similar prompt. The bot will search the internet for information about what you’ve asked it to write, then compile that information into a response. While this used to come back as clunky and robotic, the algorithms and programming for AI writers have become much more advanced and can write human-like responses.

Are there different types of AI writing? There is a ton of AI writing software available to help with efficiency, accuracy, and proficiency in content creation, no matter what type you need. For example:

  • Bloggers can lean heavily on AI writing programs to help save time when building out a content calendar and editing blog posts.
  • Small businesses that don’t have the resources to write monthly blogs, for example, or compose marketing emails, or create social media posts can lean heavily on AI writing to create content for them. Of course, it’s recommended that somebody checks the content for accuracy and quality.
  • YouTubers can prompt an AI program to write a script for their videos. AI writing programs come in all sizes, functions, and price points (yes, you’ll probably have to pay to get the best features) to help anyone who creates content.

How should I use AI writing software? One of the first concerns that arose with the flood of AI writing software was that students would use it to write their term papers, or professionals would skimp on their writing duties and let the AI do it for them, and so on. These things, unfortunately, are going to happen.

However, AI can still be a tool that’s used for good. Anyone can have an AI chatbot do the heavy lifting in research, ideation, and organization. Let AI software get you started with your research, then take over to verify information, put it into coherent thoughts, then add emotion and storytelling.

Will AI writing replace real writers? No, AI will not replace real writers . However, it can help the cream of the industry rise to the top. AI writers are, so far, limited in their abilities to create emotional and engaging content. Humans, by nature, are storytellers. We have been since the beginning. Robots, however, are not. They are limited by what they’re programmed to do, and AI bots are programmed to gather information and make an educated guess about what you want to hear.

Take the movie Return of the Jedi, for instance. C-3PO was a protocol droid programmed to speak fluently in 6 million languages. Yes, he told a story to the Ewoks about how Luke and his friends got to Endor, but his telling was flat and factual. He couldn’t include the emotion that came with the story’s events.

AI writing is taking the world by storm because it’s an excellent way to work more efficiently. Does it have its limitations? It absolutely does. Because of these limitations, it’s essential to know how to use AI writing so it can be used more effectively.

University students recruit AI to write essays for them. Now what?

Teachers need to work harder to get students to write and think for themselves.

Feature As word of students using AI to automatically complete essays continues to spread, some lecturers are beginning to rethink how they should teach their pupils to write.

Writing is a difficult task to do well. The best novelists and poets write furiously, dedicating their lives to mastering their craft. The creative process of stringing together words to communicate thoughts is often viewed as something complex, mysterious, and unmistakably human. No wonder people are fascinated by machines that can write too.

Unlike humans, language models don't procrastinate and create content instantly with a little guidance. All you need to do is type a short description, or prompt, instructing the model on what it needs to produce, and it'll generate a text output in seconds. So it should come as no surprise students are now beginning use these tools to complete school work.

Students are the perfect users: They need to write often, in large volumes, and are internet savvy. There are many AI-writing products to choose from that are easy to use and pretty cheap too. All of them lure new users with free trials, promising to make them better writers.

artificial intelligence app to write essays

Monthly subscriptions for the most popular platform, Jasper, costs $40 per month to generate 35,000 words. Others, like Writesonic or Sudowrite, are cheaper at $10 per month for 30,000 words. Students who think they can use these products and get away with doing zero work, however, will probably be disappointed.

And then there's ChatGPT ...

Although AI can generate text with perfect spelling, great grammar and syntax, the content often isn't that good beyond a few paragraphs. The writing becomes less coherent over time with no logical train of thought to follow. Language models fail to get their facts right – meaning quotes, dates, and ideas are likely false. Students will have to inspect the writing closely and correct mistakes for their work to be convincing.

Prof: AI-assisted essays 'not good'

Scott Graham, associate professor at the Department of Rhetoric & Writing at the University of Texas at Austin, tasked his pupils with writing a 2,200-word essay about a campus-wide issue using AI. Students were free to lightly edit and format their work with the only rule being that most of the essay had to be automatically generated by software.

In an opinion article on Inside Higher Ed, Graham said the AI-assisted essays were "not good," noting that the best of the bunch would have earned a C or C-minus grade. To score higher, students would have had to rewrite more of the essay using their own words to improve it, or craft increasingly narrower and specific prompts to get back more useful content.

"You're not going to be able to push a button or submit a short prompt and generate a ready-to-go essay," he told The Register .

The limits of machine-written text forces humans to carefully read and edit copy. Some people may consider using these tools as cheating, but Graham believes they can help people get better at writing.

Don't waste all your effort on the first draft....

"I think if students can do well with AI writing, it's not actually all that different from them doing well with their own writing. The main skills I teach and assess mostly happen after the initial drafting," he said.

"I think that's where people become really talented writers; it's in the revision and the editing process. So I'm optimistic about [AI] because I think that it will provide a framework for us to be able to teach that revision and editing better.

"Some students have a lot of trouble sometimes generating that first draft. If all the effort goes into getting them to generate that first draft, and then they hit the deadline, that's what they will submit. They don't get a chance to revise, they don't get a chance to edit. If we can use those systems to speed write the first draft, it might really be helpful," he opined.

Whether students can use these tools to get away with doing less work will depend on the assignment. A biochemistry student claimed on Reddit they got an A when they used an AI model to write "five good and bad things about biotech" in an assignment, Vice reported .

AI is more likely to excel at producing simple, generic text across common templates or styles.

Listicles, informal blog posts, or news articles will be easier to imitate than niche academic papers or literary masterpieces. Teachers will need to be thoughtful about the essay questions they set and make sure students' knowledge are really being tested, if they don't want them to cut corners.

Ask a silly question, you'll get a silly answer

"I do think it's important for us to start thinking about the ways that [AI] is changing writing and how we respond to that in our assignments -- that includes some collaboration with AI," Annette Vee, associate professor of English and director of the Composition Program at the University of Pittsburgh, told us.

"The onus now is on writing teachers to figure out how to get to the same kinds of goals that we've always had about using writing to learn. That includes students engaging with ideas, teaching them how to formulate thoughts, how to communicate clearly or creatively. I think all of those things can be done with AI systems, but they'll be done differently."

The line between using AI as a collaborative tool or a way to cheat, however, is blurry. None of the academics teaching writing who spoke to The Register thought students should be banned from using AI software. "Writing is fundamentally shaped by technology," Vee said.

"Students use spell check and grammar check. If I got a paper where a student didn't use these, it stands out. But it used to be, 50 years ago, writing teachers would complain that students didn't know how to spell so they would teach spelling. Now they don't."

Most teachers, however, told us they would support regulating the use of AI-writing software in education. Anna Mills, who teaches students how to write at a community college in the Bay Area, is part of a small group of academics beginning to rally teachers and professional organizations like the Modern Language Association into thinking about introducing new academic rules.

Critical thinking skills

Mills said she could see why students might be tempted to use AI to write their essays, and simply asking teachers to come up with more compelling assessments is not a convincing solution.

"We need policies. These tools are already pretty good now, and they're only going to get better. We need clear guidance on what's acceptable use and what's not. Where is the line between using it to automatically generate email responses and something that violates academic integrity?" she asked The Register .

"Writing is just not outputs. Writing and revising is a process that develops our thinking. If you skip that, you're going to be skipping that practice which students need.

"It's too tempting to use it as a crutch, skip the thinking, and skip the frustrating moments of writing. Some of that is part of the process of going deeper and wrestling with ideas. There is a risk of learning loss if students become dependent and don't develop the writing skills they need."

Mills was particularly concerned about AI reducing the need for people to think for themselves, considering language models carry forward biases in their training data. "Companies have decided what to feed it and we don't know. Now, they are being used to generate all sorts of things from novels to academic papers, and they could influence our thoughts or even modify them. That is an immense power, and it's very dangerous."

Lauren Goodlad, professor of English and Comparative Literature at Rutgers University, agreed. If they parrot what AI comes up with, students may end up more likely to associate Muslims with terrorism or mention conspiracy theories, for example.

Computers are alredy interfering and changing the ways we write. Goodlad referred to one incident when Gmail suggested she change the word "importunate" to "impatient" in an email she wrote.

"It's hard to teach students how to use their own writing as a way to develop their critical thinking and as a way to express knowledge. They very badly need the practice of articulating their thoughts in writing and machines can rob them of this. If people really do end up using these things all the way through school, if that were to happen it could be a real loss not just for the writing quality but for the thinking quality of a whole generation," she said.

Rules and regulation

Academic policies tackling AI-assisted writing will be difficult to implement. Opinions are divided on whether sentences generated by machines count as plagiarism or not. There is also the problem of being able to detect writing produced by these tools accurately. Some teachers are alarmed at AI's growing technical capabilities, whilst others believe its overhyped. Some are embracing the technology more than others.

Marc Watkins, lecturer, and Stephen Monroe, chair and assistant professor of writing and rhetoric, are working on building an AI writing pilot programme with the University of Mississippi's Academic Innovations Group. "As teachers, we are experimenting, not panicking," Monroe told The Register .

"We want to empower our students as writers and thinkers. AI will play a role… This is a time of exciting and frenzied development, but educators move more slowly and deliberately… AI will be able to assist writers at every stage, but students and teachers will need tools that are thoughtfully calibrated."

  • Human-replacing AI startups reach $1bn unicorn status
  • GPT-3 'prompt injection' attack causes bad bot manners
  • FauxPilot: It's like GitHub Copilot but doesn't phone home to Microsoft
  • AI chatbot trained on posts from web sewer 4chan behaved badly – just like human members

Teachers are getting together and beginning to think about these tools, Watkins added. "Before we have any policy about the use of language models, we need to have sustained conversations with students, faculty, and administration about what this technology means for teaching and learning."

"But academia doesn't move at the pace of Big Tech. We're taking our time and slowly exploring. I don't think faculty need to be frightened. It's possible that these tools will have a positive impact on student learning and advancing equity, so let's approach AI assistants cautiously, but with an open mind."

Regardless of what policies universities may decide to implement in the future, AI presents academia with an opportunity to improve education now. Teachers will need to adapt to the technology if they want to remain relevant, and incentivise students to learn and think on their own with or without assistance from computers. ®

How to Resist the Temptation of AI When Writing

Red laptop displaying chat bubbles

Whether you're a student, a journalist, or a business professional, knowing how to do high-quality research and writing using trustworthy data and sources, without giving in to the temptation of AI or ChatGPT , is a skill worth developing.

As I detail in my book Writing That Gets Noticed , locating credible databases and sources and accurately vetting information can be the difference between turning a story around quickly or getting stuck with outdated information.

For example, several years ago the editor of Parents.com asked for a hot-take reaction to country singer Carrie Underwood saying that, because she was 35, she had missed her chance at having another baby. Since I had written about getting pregnant in my forties, I knew that as long as I updated my facts and figures, and included supportive and relevant peer-reviewed research, I could pull off this story. And I did.

The story ran later that day , and it led to other assignments. Here are some tips I’ve learned that you should consider mastering before you turn to automated tools like generative AI to handle your writing work for you.

Identify experts, peer-reviewed research study authors, and sources who can speak with authority—and ideally, offer easily understood sound bites or statistics on the topic of your work. Great sources include professors at major universities and media spokespeople at associations and organizations.

For example, writer and author William Dameron pinned his recent essay in HuffPost Personal around a statistic from the American Heart Association on how LGBTQ people experience higher rates of heart disease based on discrimination. Although he first found the link in a secondary source (an article in The New York Times ), he made sure that he checked the primary source: the original study that the American Heart Association gleaned the statistic from. He verified the information, as should any writer, because anytime a statistic is cited in a secondary source, errors can be introduced.

Jen Malia, author of  The Infinity Rainbow Club  series of children’s books (whom I recently interviewed on my podcast ), recently wrote a piece about dinosaur-bone hunting for Business Insider , which she covers in her book Violet and the Jurassic Land Exhibit.

After a visit to the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Malia, whose books are set in Philadelphia, found multiple resources online and on the museum site that gave her the history of the Bone Wars , information on the exhibits she saw, and the scientific names of the dinosaurs she was inspired by. She also used the Library of Congress’ website, which offers digital collections and links to the Library of Congress Newspaper Collection.

Malia is a fan of searching for additional resources and citable documents with Google Scholar . “If I find that a secondary source mentions a newspaper article, I’m going to go to the original newspaper article, instead of just stopping there and quoting,” she says.

Your local public library is a great source of free information, journals, and databases (even ones that generally require a subscription and include embargoed research). For example, your search should include everything from health databases ( Sage Journals , Scopus , PubMed) to databases for academic sources and journalism ( American Periodical Series Online , Statista , Academic Search Premier ) and databases for news, trends, market research, and polls (t he Harris Poll , Pew Research Center , Newsbank , ProPublica ).

Even if you find a study or paper that you can’t access in one of those databases, consider reaching out to the study’s lead author or researcher. In many cases, they’re happy to discuss their work and may even share the study with you directly and offer to talk about their research.

For journalist Paulette Perhach’s article on ADHD in The New York Times, she used Epic Research to see “dual team studies.” That's when two independent teams address the same topic or question, and ideally come to the same conclusions. She recommends locating research and experts via key associations for your topic. She also likes searching via Google Scholar but advises filtering it for studies and research in recent years to avoid using old data. She suggests keeping your links and research organized. “Always be ready to be peer-reviewed yourself,” Perhach says.

When you are looking for information for a story or project, you might be inclined to start with a regular Google search. But keep in mind that the internet is full of false information, and websites that look trustworthy can sometimes turn out to be businesses or companies with a vested interest in you taking their word as objective fact without additional scrutiny. Regardless of your writing project, unreliable or biased sources are a great way to torpedo your work—and any hope of future work.

Author Bobbi Rebell researched her book Launching Financial Grownups using the IRS’ website . “I might say that you can contribute a certain amount to a 401K, but it might be outdated because those numbers are always changing, and it’s important to be accurate,” she says. “AI and ChatGPT can be great for idea generation,” says Rebell, “but you have to be careful. If you are using an article someone was quoted in, you don’t know if they were misquoted or quoted out of context.”

If you use AI and ChatGPT for sourcing, you not only risk introducing errors, you risk introducing plagiarism—there is a reason OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, is being sued for downloading information from all those books.

Audrey Clare Farley, who writes historical nonfiction, has used a plethora of sites for historical research, including Women Also Know History , which allows searches by expertise or area of study, and JSTOR , a digital library database that offers a number of free downloads a month. She also uses Chronicling America , a project from the Library of Congress which gathers old newspapers to show how a historical event was reported, and Newspapers.com (which you can access via free trial but requires a subscription after seven days).

When it comes to finding experts, Farley cautions against choosing the loudest voices on social media platforms. “They might not necessarily be the most authoritative. I vet them by checking if they have a history of publication on the topic, and/or educational credentials.”

When vetting an expert, look for these red flags:

  • You can’t find their work published or cited anywhere.
  • They were published in an obscure journal.
  • Their research is funded by a company, not a university, or they are the spokesperson for the company they are doing research for. (This makes them a public relations vehicle and not an appropriate source for journalism.)

And finally, the best endings for virtually any writing, whether it’s an essay, a research paper, an academic report, or a piece of investigative journalism, circle back to the beginning of the piece, and show your reader the transformation or the journey the piece has presented in perspective.

As always, your goal should be strong writing supported by research that makes an impact without cutting corners. Only then can you explore tools that might make the job a little easier, for instance by generating subheads or discovering a concept you might be missing—because then you'll have the experience and skills to see whether it's harming or helping your work.

The future of writing: how artificial intelligence is revolutionizing language generation.

artificial intelligence app to write essays

As we march boldly into the digital age, one thing is becoming increasingly clear: artificial intelligence is changing the way we write. From chatbots crafting customer service responses to algorithms generating news articles, AI is revolutionizing language generation in ways we never thought possible. In this blog post, we’ll explore the future of writing and how AI is reshaping our relationship with words. Get ready to be amazed by the power of technology and its impact on the written word!

What is Language Generation?

Language generation is a powerful application of artificial intelligence (AI) that involves the automatic production of written or spoken language. It utilizes machine learning algorithms to generate human-like text and speech, mimicking the style, tone, and structure of natural language. This process has been revolutionizing the way we communicate and interact with technology, paving the way for exciting new possibilities in fields such as marketing, customer service, content creation, and more.

At its core, language generation is driven by two main components – natural language processing (NLP) and deep learning. NLP is a branch of AI that focuses on understanding human languages in order to process and analyze large amounts of text data. Deep learning techniques involve training neural networks to learn patterns from this data by themselves without explicit programming instructions.

One major advantage of using AI-powered language generation is its ability to produce vast amounts of original content at an impressive speed. While humans may take hours or even days to write a comprehensive piece of content, AI can do it in just seconds! This opens up a world of opportunities for businesses looking to improve their online presence through frequent publications while significantly reducing the time and cost spent on content creation.

Moreover, AI-based language generation systems are continuously evolving through machine learning iterations. This means that as they are fed with more data and information over time, they become smarter and more accurate in generating high-quality text that mimics human writing styles.

Another key benefit of using AI-generated language is its adaptability across different languages. With advancements in NLP techniques, these systems have become increasingly proficient at understanding various languages worldwide. This enables businesses to expand their reach into global markets by producing localized content quickly and accurately without hiring multilingual staff or freelancers.

However, like any emerging technology, there are also some potential concerns surrounding AI-driven language generation. One issue is the possibility of biased or unethical content being generated due to biased datasets being used for training purposes. To combat this, researchers and developers are working on creating AI systems that can identify and filter out any discriminatory or offensive language.

The History of AI in Language Generation

Artificial intelligence (AI) has come a long way since its inception in the 1950s. One of its most fascinating applications is language generation, which involves using algorithms and machine learning to create human-like text. While it may seem like a relatively new concept, the history of AI in language generation dates back several decades.

Early developments in AI focused on rule-based systems, which involved creating strict guidelines and patterns for computers to follow when generating text. These systems were limited in their capabilities as they could only produce predefined sentences and were unable to adapt or learn new patterns.

In the 1980s, researchers made significant advancements with the introduction of statistical methods in natural language processing (NLP). This approach allowed computers to analyze vast amounts of data and learn from it, enabling them to generate more accurate and complex language. However, even with these advancements, language generated by computers was often disjointed and lacked coherence.

It wasn’t until the late 2000s when deep learning emerged that we saw a true breakthrough in AI-based language generation. Deep learning techniques use neural networks to mimic how the human brain processes information. These networks are trained on vast amounts of data and can then generate text that is indistinguishable from that written by a human.

With access to powerful computational resources and massive datasets such as Wikipedia articles or entire book collections, deep learning models have been able to produce highly coherent and nuanced texts across various languages. In recent years, we have seen an explosion of applications utilizing these advanced NLP techniques for tasks such as auto-completion suggestions or chatbot interactions.

Today’s cutting-edge technology uses Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) models developed by OpenAI. GPT-3 has over 175 billion parameters making it one of the most powerful NLP models ever created. It can perform a wide range of tasks such as translation, summarization, and even generate original text based on a few prompts. GPT-3 has been hailed as a significant breakthrough in natural language processing, and its potential for language generation is immense.

However, there are also ethical concerns surrounding the use of AI in writing, particularly with regards to plagiarism and bias. As technology continues to advance at an exponential rate, it is crucial that we continue to have ethical considerations and regulations in place for the responsible use of AI-generated text.

Current Applications and Examples of AI Writing

Artificial Intelligence writing has become increasingly prevalent in various industries, proving to be a game-changing tool for content creation and language generation. Here are some examples of current applications and uses of AI writing technology:

1. Automated Content Creation: With the help of natural language processing (NLP) algorithms, AI writing tools can generate written content on various topics. These tools use machine learning and deep learning techniques to analyze data from multiple sources and create human-like text that is coherent, informative, and engaging. This has been extensively used by businesses for creating product descriptions, news articles, social media posts, and email marketing campaigns.

2. Language Translation: Thanks to advancements in NLP technology coupled with neural machine translation (NMT), AI writing has made significant progress in language translation tasks. Platforms like Google Translate use AI algorithms to accurately translate texts from one language to another in real-time. This has significantly improved cross-cultural communication and made it easier for individuals and businesses to reach global audiences.

3. Chatbots: Another popular application of AI writing is the development of chatbots that can interact with users using natural language processing capabilities. These bots are trained on vast amounts of data related to specific industries or products, enabling them to provide accurate responses in conversational form, almost like talking to a human customer service representative.

4. Personalized Writing Assistant: Many word processing software now offers a personalized writing assistant powered by Artificial Intelligence. These tools help writers improve their grammar, spelling mistakes as well as style while they write allowing for more efficient proofreading process.

5. Creative Writing: One interesting application of AI writing is its ability to produce creative work such as poems or short stories using artificial intelligence algorithms combined with big data analysis techniques. While these pieces may not always be perfect or emotionally charged like those produced by humans yet it provides an exciting insight into the potentiality of artificial intelligence.

Advancements in AI Writing Technology

AI (Artificial Intelligence) technology has significantly transformed various aspects of our daily lives, from self-driving cars to virtual personal assistants. In recent years, the use of AI has also made its way into the world of writing, with advancements in natural language processing and machine learning algorithms.

The field of AI writing technology is constantly evolving, and it is reshaping the way we communicate and create content. With the ability to analyze vast amounts of data and process language patterns, AI is now able to generate human-like text that is indistinguishable from that written by a person.

One major advancement in this technology is the development of natural language generation (NLG). This involves computer systems analyzing data and using algorithms to create coherent sentences and paragraphs that imitate human writing. NLG can be used for a variety of purposes, such as creating news articles, product descriptions, or even creative fiction stories.

Another significant development in AI writing technology is the use of deep learning models. These sophisticated algorithms are trained on large datasets and are capable of generating more complex and nuanced texts. Deep learning models use neural networks to mimic human thinking processes, enabling them to generate text that feels more natural and human-like.

Thanks to these advancements in AI writing technology, there has been an explosion in automated content creation applications. For example, some companies are utilizing these tools for marketing purposes by generating personalized emails or social media posts based on customer data.

Furthermore, AI writing assistants have also emerged as valuable tools for writers. These programs can help identify grammatical errors or suggest improvements for sentence structure and word choice. They also provide instant feedback on readability levels and can even offer brainstorming prompts for writer’s block situations.

The Debate on Ethics and Creativity in AI Writing

As the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in writing continues to grow, so does the debate surrounding its ethical implications. While some argue that AI writing has the potential to revolutionize language generation and offer immense benefits, others raise concerns about the lack of human creativity and moral responsibility involved.

One of the main ethical concerns is the issue of ownership and credit for written content created by AI. With advanced algorithms that can produce high-quality content, it becomes difficult to determine who should be credited as the author. This raises questions about intellectual property rights and fair compensation for writers. In addition, there is a fear that AI-generated content may lead to plagiarism and copyright infringement.

Another aspect of this debate is the impact on human writers’ livelihoods. As AI technology continues to evolve, there is a possibility that it could replace human writers in certain industries, leading to job loss and economic instability. This raises questions about how society will ensure job security for those whose work may become obsolete due to advancements in AI writing.

Moreover, there are concerns about how information will be curated if an increasing amount of content is produced by AI programs rather than humans. Will it lead to a homogenization of ideas and perspectives? Will we lose diversity in written content creation?

On the other side of the debate are those who argue that with regulations in place, AI writing can bring forth incredible benefits for various industries such as marketing, journalism, and publishing. The ability to quickly generate large amounts of data-driven or creative content can save time and resources while meeting consumer demand.

Furthermore, proponents believe that because language generation algorithms are trained on vast amounts of data from different sources, they do not carry biases like humans often do. This eliminates issues such as sexism or racism in written content production.

However, one major point often raised by critics is whether true creativity can exist without consciousness or emotions- something only humans possess. Can AI truly understand and express emotions in their writing? The sentiment behind a particular piece of writing can greatly affect its impact on readers, which raises questions about the quality and authenticity of AI-generated content.

Impact on Writers and the Writing Industry

One of the key impacts of AI on writers is its ability to streamline and speed up the writing process. With natural language processing algorithms, AI can generate written content at lightning-fast speeds, making it easier for writers to produce high volumes of work in a shorter amount of time. This has been particularly useful for content creation in industries such as marketing and journalism, where deadlines are tight and consistency is essential.

Furthermore, with AI-powered tools like grammar checkers and plagiarism detectors, writers can now improve their writing quality without relying solely on human editors or proofreaders. These tools help catch errors that might slip through human eyes, allowing writers to focus more on perfecting their ideas rather than worrying about minor technicalities.

On a larger scale, AI has also opened up opportunities for new forms of writing. For example, with chatbots becoming increasingly popular in customer service, there is a growing demand for conversational scripts that can engage customers effectively. Additionally, companies are now using automated text generators for tasks such as product descriptions or email marketing campaigns. This not only creates job opportunities for professional writers but also allows businesses to free up resources by automating these processes.

However, with all these advancements come concerns about job security within the writing industry. Some fear that AI technology could eventually replace human writers entirely. While this may be true to some extent in certain areas such as news reporting or data-driven content creation, most experts believe that there will always be a need for human creativity and emotions in writing.

Another argument against the use of AI in writing is its potential impact on originality and authenticity. As machines become proficient at mimicking human language, there is a risk that some written content may lack a distinct voice or perspective. However, this can also be seen as an opportunity for writers to push their boundaries and come up with new and unique ideas that cannot be replicated by AI.

Potential Future Developments and Possibilities for AI Writing

One potential future development for AI writing is the creation of more sophisticated natural language processing algorithms. These algorithms are responsible for allowing machines to understand and generate human-like language. As they become more advanced, they may be able to produce writing that is virtually indistinguishable from what a human could create, blurring the line between man and machine.

Another possibility is the use of AI in content personalization. By analyzing vast amounts of data on individuals’ interests, preferences, and behavior patterns, AI can tailor written content to each person’s specific needs and likes. This can not only improve user experience but also help businesses drive engagement and conversions by delivering highly relevant and personalized content.

Additionally, there is potential for AI technologies such as natural language generation (NLG) to assist with translation services. With the ability to process large amounts of data quickly and accurately, NLG-powered translation tools could greatly speed up the process of translating written work into different languages while maintaining linguistic nuances and tone.

In terms of creative writing, AI may also have a role to play in aiding writers with writer’s block or providing inspiration. Programs already exist that can suggest story prompts or even complete sentences based on a given prompt or theme. In the future, these programs may evolve to offer deeper levels of customization and assistance in creating compelling narratives.

Furthermore, there has been talk about using AI as a writing partner or co-author for writers working on longer-form projects like novels or scripts. By analyzing existing written material from various sources including books, articles, blogs etc., an AI program could potentially assist writers with tasks like character development or plot structure based on proven successful storytelling techniques.

But perhaps the most exciting potential future development for AI writing is its use in enhancing accessibility and inclusivity. With advanced language generation capabilities, AI could greatly improve the production of written material for individuals with visual or learning disabilities. It could also help bridge the language barrier by providing real-time translations for live conversations and speeches.

In conclusion, it is evident that artificial intelligence has greatly impacted the field of writing and is continually revolutionizing language generation. While some may argue that AI technology poses a threat to human writers, it also opens new possibilities for creativity and efficiency in producing written content. As we continue to see advancements in this technology, it is important for us as creators to embrace these tools while staying true to our individual voices and unique perspectives. The future of writing is indeed an exciting one with endless opportunities made possible by artificial intelligence.

Artificial intelligence writing apps are least of our problems

To the editor:

In Mr. Vennie-Vollrath’s March 15 letter to the editor ( “No place for plagiarism in newspapers” ) he wrote: “Our local newspaper is no place for plagiarism.” Is he prepared to go to court with evidence that the accused letter-writer was using AI “to deceive” ? Because technically, plagiarism isn’t illegal until a malicious intent can be proven (much like defamation). Nor do legal sources agree that passing AI generated ideas or words off as one’s own is plagiarism — since AI consists of mass compilation, not a direct quote from any particular person or publication.

And therein lies the rub for English teachers like me and newspaper editors who consider it unethical to take credit for someone else’s words by not using quotation marks or crediting the author/source. Purposeful plagiarism aside, I’m wondering if the old-fashioned method of footnoting is any protection from unmonitored social media, the internet and news feeds; all somewhat influenced and affected by AI?

I think the real danger is that AI is embedded in system-wide computer programming designed to maintain our attention. The computer tracks and reacts to what it perceives as our interests. (That’s the “algorithms” to which Mr. Vennie-Vollrath refers.) However, AI isn’t configured with ethics. If you click on child pornography, conspiracy theories, incendiary anti-government plots, scams — no problem. It will feed that to you non-stop.

While extremist right-wing pundits, conmen and internet profiteers continue to defend AI (despite the resulting harm from lies that spin “alternate realities” ) I’m afraid AI-writing-apps are the least of our problems.

Artificial general intelligence or agi: a very short history.

Artificial General Intelligence, AGI concept. AI can learn and solve any human's intellectual tasks.

AGI is the new AI, promoted by tech leaders and AI experts , all promising its imminent arrival, for better or for worse. Anyone frightened by Elon Musk’s warning that “AGI poses a grave threat to humanity, perhaps the greatest existential threat we face today,” should first study the evolution of AGI from science-fiction to real-world fiction.

The term AGI was coined in 2007 when a collection of essays on the subject was published. The book, titled Artificial General intelligence , was co-edited by Ben Goertzel and Cassio Pennachin. In their introduction, they provided a definition:

“AGI is, loosely speaking, AI systems that possess a reasonable degree of self-understanding and autonomous self-control, and have the ability to solve a variety of complex problems in a variety of contexts, and to learn to solve new problems that they didn’t know about at the time of their creation.” The rationale for “christening” AGI for Goertzel and Pennachin was to distinguish it from “run-of-the-mill ‘artificial intelligence’ research,” as AGI is “explicitly focused on engineering general intelligence in the short term.”

In 2007, “run-of-the-mill” research focused on narrow challenges and AI programs of the time could only “generalize within their limited context.” While “work on AGI has gotten a bit of a bad reputation,” according to Goertzel and Pennachin, “AGI appears by all known science to be quite possible. Like nanotechnology, it is ‘merely an engineering problem’, though certainly a very difficult one.”

AGI is considered by Goertzel and Pennachin as only an engineering challenge because “we know that general intelligence is possible, in the sense that humans – particular configurations of atoms – display it. We just need to analyze these atom configurations in detail and replicate them in the computer.”

Goertzel and Pennachin seem to contradict themselves when they also assert that the Japanese 5 th generation Computer System project “was doomed by its pure engineering approach, by its lack of an underlying theory of mind.” But maybe there’s no contradiction here because they assume that the mind is also a collection of atoms that can be emulated in a computer by the right engineering approach: “We have several contributions in this book that are heavily based on cognitive psychology and its ideas about how the mind works. These contributions pay greater than zero attention to neuroscience, but they are clearly more mind-focused than brain-focused.”

The brain-focused approach presented in the book is “a neural net based approach, trying to model the behavior of nerve cells in the brain and the emergence of intelligence therefrom. Or one can proceed at a higher level, looking at the general ways that information processing is carried out in the brain, and seeking to emulate these in software.”

This was written, of course, when the real fringe of the AI community—ignored in this 2007 book—were the handful of people (e.g., 2018 Turing Award winners Geoffrey Hinton, Yann LeCun and Joshua Bengio) who in 2007 coined the term “deep learning” to describe their machine learning approach to finding patterns in lots of data using statistical analysis algorithms. These have been called since the 1950s “artificial neural networks,” algorithms that have been presented throughout the years with no empirical evidence as “mimicking the brain.”

In 2007, the people that were the first to discuss various approaches to achieving the newly-termed “AGI” completely ignored the fringe approach to “AI” that in 2012 became the mainstream approach to AI with the successful marriage of GPUs, lots of data, and artificial neural networks. Still, the researchers previously on the fringe of AI and now the kings of the data mountain understood well the branding and marketing power of “AGI” and continued in the exalted tradition of promising the imminent arrival of machines with human-like intelligence (or superintelligence) and the possible extinction of humanity by these possibly malevolent machines.

The key person in the importation of this tradition to the new successful approach to AI was apparently Shane Legg, a co-founder of DeepMind. Legg suggested to Goertzel the term “Artificial General Intelligence” and described to Cade Metz (who quoted Legg in his book Genius Makers ) the general attitude to the subject in the AI community around 2007: “If you talked to anybody about general AI, you would be considered at best eccentric, at worst some kind of delusional, nonscientific character.”

Aspiring to build superintelligence while worrying about what it could do to humanity, Legg joined his colleague Demis Hassabis (they were exploring the connections between the brain and machine learning at UCL) to establish DeepMind. Hassabis told Legg that “they could raise far kore money from venture capitalists than they ever could writing grant proposals as professors,” Metz reports. With AGI as the stated aim of DeepMind, mentioned in the first line of their business plan, “they told anyone who would listen, including potential investors, that this research could be dangerous.”

To get to Peter Thiel, their first investor, Hassabis gave a presentation at the 2010 Singularity Conference, arguing that the best way to build artificial intelligence was to mimic the way the brain worked: “We should be focusing on the algorithmic level of the brain, extracting the kind of representations and algorithms the brain uses to solve the kind of problems we want to solve with AGI.”

There you have it. Using the term “AGI”—with its exciting connotations of both saving and destroying humanity—to get the attention and deep pockets of investors, claiming to replicate the human brain in the computer while pursuing a statistical analysis method that has nothing to do empirically speaking with how the human brain works .

Whether insisting that their approach to AI resembles the biological processes of the human brain (“connectionism”) or that they can replicate the process of human thinking in the computer (“symbolic AI”), the two key approaches to AI since the term was coined in 1955 have banked on the widely accepted notion that “ we are as gods .” This belief in modern man’s ability to conquer all frontiers, even replicate man in the machine, has been based on the centuries-old idea that humans are a “particular configurations of atoms.”

Next in my AGI Washing Series, I will offer a short pre-history of AGI.

Cognition Seeks $2 Billion Valuation for AI Code-Writing Tool

artificial intelligence app to write essays

Cognition Labs is reportedly aiming to become the next multibillion-dollar artificial intelligence (AI) startup.

The company, which is developing an AI tool for writing code, is in discussions with investors to raise money at a valuation of up to $2 billion , The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported Sunday (March 31).

The report said that, if successful, the round would increase Cognition’s valuation to almost six times what it was weeks ago. Sources tell the news outlet that Silicon Valley venture firms including Founders Fund, already a shareholder, are in talks to invest in the round.

According to WSJ, Cognition began as a cryptocurrency company but pivoted to AI amid the technology’s rising popularity. Earlier this month, it debuted its AI coding tool, Devin, which can reportedly autonomously complete complex coding tasks like creating custom websites. 

The WSJ added that some investors believe Devin marks a significant leap in AI intelligence and could lead to the widespread automation of software development. 

The round is happening as a number of other AI companies are seeking significant jumps in valuation. For example, this month saw reports that the Canadian AI startup  Cohere  was in advanced discussions to raise $500 million, bringing its  valuation to $5 billion . The company was valued at $2.2 billion last June after raising $220 million.

And French AI model developer  Mistral  was valued at  $2 billion late last year , jumping roughly seven times in valuation from the previous year.

At the same time, tech giants aren’t “sitting idly by,” as PYMNTS wrote last week, with companies like Google ,  Microsoft  and  Meta  aggressively constructing their own AI large language models (LLMs).

Although leading tech companies have an edge, the race for supremacy in AI involves more than just the sector’s biggest players, that report said, though advancing the frontiers of AI often requires substantial investments in computational power and research talent.

“The  hurdle for building  a broad foundational model is that training on increasingly large data sets is extraordinarily expensive,”  Gil Luria , a senior software analyst at  D.A. Davidson & Co. , said in an interview with PYMNTS. 

“The only reason  OpenAI  can afford to do so is the  backing of Microsoft  and the Azure resources it makes available to OpenAI. The broad models, such as the ones leveraged by ChatGPT, have ingested huge portions of human knowledge and continue to train on new content, which is what makes them so versatile in many domains of expertise.”
