Writer is a full-stack generative AI platform. It consists of Writer-built LLMs, a graph-based RAG, AI guardrails, and a flexible application layer. Writer boasts users at enterprises like L’Oreal, Vanguard, and Accenture.
Grammarly is very advanced, but I use Writer as It offers me additional features like word count, a cleaner interface, and a word processor for taking notes.
Grammarly notoriously falls short on inclusive writing suggestions. Grammarly always missing out on punctuation that Writer's app picks up. The free version of Grammarly doesn't allow you view suggestions at-a-glance.
The Writer Chrome extension provides a helpful side-panel …
I love how Writer's interface is clearly designed as an entire page -- instead of a tiny textbox at the corner of the screen. I also appreciate the emphasis on privacy and security.
Grammarly is a step ahead of the traditional spelling and grammar checking tool that is in-built with Microsoft Word. There are scenarios when you have to write long-form content, and depending on your normal day-to-day way of speech, you tend to write content using the same tone and sentence constructs. There may be nothing "wrong" as such, but Grammarly points out those small glitches in your text, which you considered to be correct but is not really correct. One such area is the usage of "passive voice" in the sentences that I used to write. I find Grammarly really helpful here.
I think Writer is perfect for marketing professionals who need to draft copy about dense topics and subject matter, such as within tech and product companies. It bridges the gap of knowledge between marketer and engineer and saves the former countless minutes to bring what the latter develops to the marketplace
Integration with existing tools - Grammarly works in practically all text areas across your browser, including email and things like Google Docs, etc.
Quality control - the meat of Grammarly is checking your text and writing in real-time, directly as you type. Most of the time, Grammarly provides very accurate recommendations and quality checks on your text.
Analytics and reporting - Grammarly sends regular updates via email about your usage statistics and other detailed info. This type of reporting can be very helpful in tracking your progress over time.
Regarding what Writer does, I can say as a first instance it makes my work easier when making my forms, sealing and inserting what I want to implement.
As a second place when it comes to directing me through a business document, you have the option of the synonym search engine and automatic correction.
As a third example, I would say that Writer makes my work easier, is easy to use[,] and saves versions of the same document.
i do find the organisation a bit confusing, like the functions available in 'ask Writer' being separate to the main window. there were lots of functions i wasn't able to find intuitively that we needed a support call for
asking for a summary of key points doesn't always pick up the main points
It's great software to use but has much to be desired. Because I'm used to using Microsoft Word and Google Docs, using Grammarly for sentence structure can be challenging. The suggestions that appear help with grammatical corrections, but it doesn't fix line breaks. I think something like that would help streamline sentence structure.
I have not really used customer support. I used the FAQ page to see how to re-install Grammarly because it wasn't functioning properly in longer documents. It seems to be working better now, but it still does not always underline all of the issues in the actual text. Thus, it is sometimes difficult to know where the errors are located.
I have not used anything like Grammarly before and that is probably why I love it so much. It works very well for what I need. Plus, it goes above and beyond. I don't need it all the time but it is great to use in any communication occasion. I love it
Writer's "recipes" and workflow approach allow me to think through the process of generation better than an open-chat format like ChatGPT or Gemini. It also is more flexible than Jasper (at least when I tested both).
