✍️AI tools for writers
Writers use AI to beat the blank page, test different openings, tighten prose, check grammar, summarize research and translate work for new readers. The goal is a sharper draft that still sounds like you.
We suggest prioritizing control over tone and style, respect for your rights over your text, and tools that suggest edits rather than rewriting everything at once.
We picked 13 tools across writing assistant, copywriting, summarizer and translation — 12 of them free to start.
