Beliefs

Most tools help you write; they start with a cursor in a blank document, and you go from there. By default when you start a new document in Writer, you aren’t presented with a document at all, but a chat box.

Before letting you put pen to paper, Writer forces you to think through important questions. Who is this for? What do you actually believe? What are you trying to change? The goal is to disrupt your starting point before you’ve committed to it, so that what you write is the result of real thinking.

A single draft document is a guess. Most of us don’t actually know what we believe until we’ve been presented options to react to. Writer prompts you into deeper thinking by generating multiple angles for you. None of them for you to actually use and run with, but to spur reactions and feedback. From there, you look at what you like and what you don’t like, and incorporate it into your own hand-typed draft.

Increasingly, portions of our work get offloaded to agents. Writing anything important is necessarily a human endeavour \u2014 the thinking has to come from you. But pulling context, knowledge, data, can increasingly be managed by other tooling, meaning you can focus on the hard part.

Writer builds this into its core. Any document can be shared with any AI platform to work with as a first-class citizen. Its own presence, comments, suggestions. Work alongside your agents without giving them the pen.
