Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use it to automate end to end training curation. WRITER's agents allow us to use our bespoke and proprietary context document backed by learning science to output a skills taxonomy, needs analysis, full granular curriculum, and actual learning assets. All of this is backed, contextualized, and synthesized by prompts, information, and resources that we curated in house.

Pros

  • Referencing specific context documents
  • Writing bespoke text-based content
  • Clear and precise outputs based on specific prompts
  • Quick outputs for small and medium prompts
  • Very user-friendly client-facing interface
  • A lot of QoL in terms of foldering and prompting are done in the client-facing interface

Cons

  • The current agents have weird responses sometimes
  • QOL Features for the admin-facing AI Studio part, specifically folder organization, labeling, etc.
  • Can do a little more speed when referencing big documents, knowledge graphs, and complex prompts. It takes a couple of minutes sometimes, to answer.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is very easy to navigate, build, and contextually meld your agent into whatever you like. As long as you know how their back-end no-coding platform works, it becomes a breeze to create bespoke content that actually matters, and makes sense. We've done this with multiple agents and as I call it, "sub-functions". There's a lot more potential the agents can do, all you need to know is to just learn the process.

Save Your Money and Use the Free Tools, in my experience, WRITER does not Deliver

Rating: 1 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

To create content.

Cons

  • Writing.
  • Leanring.
  • Customer Service.

Likelihood to Recommend

In my experience, WRITER is mostly likely the most incompetent forms of AI writing I have experienced.Full disclosure: I inherited WRITER from my predecessor. Since I've come on board, I have tried to see it's value and use it effectively. What I've experienced is mistreatment, incompetence, and a product that is worse than some of the free AI tools out in the marketplace. I've done multiple comparisons using the same prompts, and, in my opinion, the quality received from WRITER is not what it should be for the price. In my opinion, save your money and use one of the free tools out there.

Writer is a game-changer!

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Writer has become an invaluable tool for my small marketing businesses. It creates copy that does not feel computer-generated, it feels human. It is quick, great quality and inexpensive. I would recommend Writer to anyone looking for an AI tool that does not sound like AI. A real game changer for small businesses.

Pros

  • Creates user-friendly content
  • Minimal mistakes
  • Great research

Cons

  • Sometimes it crashes
  • It should be easier to see how many words you have left out of your monthly package.
  • Use emojis without encouragement

Likelihood to Recommend

Writer is great if you already have content but you want it rewritten in a different tone or to include more detail. It could be better at including emojis for Instagram friendly content. I also use Writer to summarise work and come up with titles. It is automatically written in American English so it's worth checking spellings.

Amazing AI writer

Rating: 8 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Writer to research and create an outline for blog posts. I also use it to test out web copy or social media copy, write in different tones, and transcribe audio files.

Pros

  • Writing in different tones
  • Humanizing AI content
  • Great content

Cons

  • The interface lags sometimes
  • Better audio transcription

Likelihood to Recommend

Ability to write different tones and write humanized content.

Writer is better than Copilot

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Writer to help me summarize content such as meeting transcripts and other long pieces of content. After I summarize the information I use it to send as a follow up to the audience as a way to continuously keep them informed of what they've already seen or missed out.

Pros

  • Summarize content
  • Create cross referencing between multiple sources

Cons

  • would be awesome to allow it to add a URL as a source so it would be able to reference live content rather than copy and pasted content
  • I'd love for it to integrate with other solutions such as MS Copilot
  • Seamless integration with MS Teams for summarizing transcriptions easier would be huge

Likelihood to Recommend

Writer is great at helping me gather information and sort it into smaller chunks. I've not used it for actually building new content so I can't comment on that yet.

My favorite new use case that I'm using it daily on is cross referencing multiple sources to generate a single output.

I've tried using it to generate tables/graphs with no luck. Co-pilot struggles with that too.

The absolute best B2B content creation platform

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I've used Writer previously at a creative content firm and now as a solo consultant/freelancer for developing B2B technical content. I've used it for blog development, social media summary content, and content quality assurance. By far, the best feature has been the writing refinement and style support. It is extremely useful for deeper technical content.

Pros

  • Content refinement and quality control
  • Ideation and "beating the blank page"
  • Content summaries and generation

Cons

  • Sometimes, the workflows could be a bit smoother
  • Library and knowledge management organization
  • Tone of voice control needs better training

Likelihood to Recommend

I always recommend Writer when discussing content management and generative AI with colleagues. Writer is the best B2B content platform I've discovered.

I've found it less useful from a social media management content generation platform, with platforms like Taplio (limited to LinkedIn) being better. But I expect that's to come (hopefully).

A Must-Have Tool for All Writers and Editors

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Writer as a freelance editor for a marketing agency. It works alongside the free version of Grammarly in my company's CMS.

Pros

  • Inclusive language
  • Punctuation suggestions
  • AI Rewriting
  • Grammar and formatting

Cons

  • The correction highlights don't always underline perfectly. Minor issue.
  • Writer can miss some obvious grammar issues that Grammarly also misses (periods, extra spaces)
  • Writer lacks English variants.

Likelihood to Recommend

Writer is the ultimate partner to Grammarly's free version. It catches all the commas and semi-colons that Grammarly won't. It also has the best use of inclusive language suggestions I have seen.

Writer's AI suggestions are good, too. It provides plenty of options for tone, voice, and complexity of writing. Overall, Writer's Chrome extension integrates well with most text fields on the internet. It isn't perfect with my company's CMS, but that's something unique to their formatting—Writer's underlines actually go through the text.

A useful tool that saves time and drives inspiration

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I work in Marketing and produce content for our company website and social media. I have used Writer to structure blog outlines, social media posts, and to brainstorm on titles. I also use the re-wording function to improve writing quality or to spark ideas. I have found it most helpful in drafting blog structures - even if I don't use the content, Writer gives me a shape that I can work within.

Pros

  • Brainstorming titles
  • Writing social media copy
  • Structuring blog posts

Cons

  • 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

Likelihood to Recommend

it's great for creating structures and sparking inspiration.

the widget is a bit annoying because we work across US and UK english, so it is constantly highlighting regional spelling issues that aren't always relevant, and the pop-up blocks my vision of the text i'm working on.

i like it best for creating social media posts and struturing longer pieces of writing. the blog helper is fantastic.

The Tool for People Who Need to Write Well

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I'm frequently testing new AI platforms for my business, and Writer focusses on what I need most: writing. As a solopreneur, I do not have access to the Enterprise features, but I find tremendous value in membership. Writer helps me analyze documents, create summaries, refine my brand voice, and produce great writing. I use the Snippets feature to store text clauses I use repeatedly in contracts and propsals. I have a Voice Profile for my brand voice, that is also embedded into the Rewrite tool so that anywhre I'm writing online, I can be consistent.

Pros

  • Rewrite tool is incredibly helpful; both in the Writer environment and the Google Chrome extension. Not buggy or laggy like other extensions I've tried.
  • Ask Writer allows me to engage with documents in a conversational manner, instead of spending time crafting and sharpening my prompts.
  • Quality responses from Ask Writer. Unlike other GPTs that are riddled with mistakes and hallucinations, I can use Writer confidently without being paranoid about triple-checking my work. I've used Writer for one year now and only found one error in that time.

Cons

  • Integration of SEO tools and Keyword Research tools would be helpful
  • Some features are only available to Enterprise plans, making them inaccessible to solopreneurs and micropreneurs
  • I'd love to be able to create a word bank of common phrases and expressions I use to help keep my brand voice feeling authentic

Likelihood to Recommend

Although I don't have access to Entreprise tools, I believe this would be an excellent tool for in-house communication teams and marketing groups. I'd also recommend it to anyone who wants to improve their writing clarity and consistency. Writer is a helpful companion when writing long-form articles, blog posts, and reports.

Writing my way into more time each day

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Writer primarily for content creation, particularly for social media, email, and website marketing copy. On a daily basis, I'm asking Writer to draft social post copy to promote our very technical blog articles. Monthly and quarterly, I ask Writer to draft compelling newsletter copy for our brands. I'm now beginning to use Writer to draft new website copy for a slew of landing pages.

Pros

  • Writer applies our writing style to copy I'm working on in browser tabs, ensuring I stay true to our voice.
  • Writer is able to quickly skim full blogs via a single link to use them as source material for drafting marketing copy I need.
  • Writer is my own business version of ChatGPT that keeps our sessions secure within the business.

Cons

  • I'd love if the Writer extension for Chrome could use the web page I'm on as a source for whatever drafting I need done in the sidebar.

Likelihood to Recommend

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.
