Writer's artificial intelligence writing assistant helps content teams develop consistent content. To do this, the software allows users to create a single source for approved and disapproved for use to keep brand terms. This allows companies to use tags, filters, and statuses, and; edit histories to give their approved terms a taxonomy; and allow users to know which words are best to use for product descriptions, marketing purposes, orand customer support. As well, the software uses this taxonomy to produce suggestions and corrections as employees write with guidance, explaining why the changes exist to help employees keep from making those mistakes.

And theThe software offers users suggestions, including the ability to set an editorial style and rules for punctuation and capitalization to keep everything consistent between users. The suggestions can be used for healthy communication to encourage confident, positive, unbiased and inclusive writing, and the suggestions can be used to enforce clarity and a reading grade across an organization.

The assistant software allows users to build a style guide to keep consistent content design for a company. The style guide can be used outside of the Writer software as well, to keep users writing in line with brand expectations, even when they do not use Writer. The style guide allows users to develop content guidelines, rules, term banks, and the Snippet libraries, and is intended to be easy to use. This can also help users with font selections, colors, and branding, and the style guide can be viewed on the web to make it more accessible.
