🔮 Our Analysis
Writing is essential to any company, regardless of size. Moreover, it’s an integral part of any team company-wide. For the sales team, it can be the difference between making or losing a sale. For customer support, it can be the difference between a good customer review and a bad one. Consistency is key, but with many people working on any given team at a company, it’s inevitable that the individual writer’s voice will find its way into what they are working on. On the flip side, as an individual writer, you can streamline your writing process with the help of powerful writing tools. Writer is helping companies find their voice through a suite of features, and giving individuals tools to improve their writing. For example, Snippets, which makes reusing text simple, and Terms, which allows for consistent terminology to be used, make it simpler for companies to follow a consistent brand and give individual writers more control over their work. At the same time, the company is making its features easy to use through integrations with popular software, such as Google Chrome, Microsoft Outlook, and Figma. By providing valuable, easy-to-use features to a wide range of people, Writer has become one company we will eagerly watch.
