Overall Satisfaction with Writer

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
  • Time saved on finding old drafts
  • High-quality tool with reasonable annual subscription fee
  • Saves time on writing templated products like press releases
I do now have access to Knowledge Graph, although I have attempted to join the Waitlist. My assumption is that this tool will only be available with Enterprise-level plans.
I appreciate the suggestions available when configuring my voice. Although compliance is not an issue for me, the punctuation, style, and clarity recommendations are very helpful. It's also great to see a section on Inclusivity, so I get a flag if I've overlooked something unnecessarily gendered in my writing.
Writer has the best quality writing I've come across. Writer is also best in class when it comes to applying brand voice in a way that feels human and authentic. I also love the clean interface. I don't get distracted; I just get down to writing. The Learning Center is also a great asset for finding use cases and learning what's new.

Would you buy Writer again?

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.
