GenAI Startups

“We've built a flexible, fast document editor that lets a user quickly surface powerful AI commands by hitting cmd + k as they write.

Type’s AI commands help with the slowest parts of writing, from generating drafts to rewriting content to suggesting what to create next.

The more you write, the better Type’s suggestions get. Type’s AI understands the context of a document – it can generate or transform text quickly and accurately.

We combine the flexibility of a product like ChatGPT with a powerful document editor. The result: Type is fun to write in!”
