The 23 Best Writing Tools of 2024: A Guide for Writers

Before the computer there was the typewriter, and before the typewriter there was pen and paper, and before pen and paper there were plenty of other lost tools of writing — like clay, papyrus, wood, slate, parchment, and, of course, pens made out of reeds. (Fun fact: the name “Reedsy” is inspired by the “reed pen,” which was used as early as 800 B.C. for documentation).

As you can tell by now, the act of writing has been a part of human culture from the days of chiseling stories onto the walls of caves — and as we have evolved, so have our writing tools . In fact, today’s writers and storytellers are spoiled for choice when it comes to deciding which tools to use.

The following list details our favorite writing tools and resources for taking any idea through to its written conclusion. If you want to cut straight to the chase and find out which is the right writing app for you, we recommend taking this quick 30-second quiz.

Which writing app is right for you?

Find out here! Takes 30 seconds

Otherwise, let's dive in!

Writing tools

We all know Google Docs and Microsoft Word, so we’re not going to waste your time giving those two a run-down in our list. Below are four other word processors you might not know about, and that are worth checking out.

1. Reedsy Book Editor

Cost: Free Does “fake it ‘til you make it” ring true to you? Well, the Reedsy Book Editor is a free, online word processor that formats your book as you write. See your drafts automatically turn into a professional-looking, ready-to-publish manuscript — and allow this glimpse of your work as the final product spur your motivation to write.

ZF6MHRgMQIo Video Thumb

It comes with an automatic spell-checker — and a built-in goal reminder system to get you back into shape if you find that you're falling behind on your writing schedule! Another one of the Reedsy Book Editor’s best functions is that it lets you instantly typeset your manuscript to EPUB and print-ready PDF files.

Check it out if: if you want a writing tool that takes care of formatting and conversion for you.

FREE WRITING APP

FREE WRITING APP

The Reedsy Book Editor

Set goals, track progress, and establish your writing routine in our free app.

Cost: Free Do you like a helpful tap on the shoulder, reminding you about something you need to do? Well, you’ll likely enjoy Draft then, because the book writing software not only keeps track of how many words you write per day, it can also email you daily reminders about your daily word count goals. (Of course, if this sounds a little too “hands-on” for you, you can always turn the reminder function off).

Other than that, Draft functions a lot like Google Docs: allowing you to track changes, collaborate via suggested edits, and make comments on the doc.

Check it out if: you like Google Docs, but want an even simpler interface. 

3. LibreOffice

Cost: Free Yes, we did say that we wouldn’t mention Microsoft Word, because by now everyone knows that it’s a useful writing tool. But we didn’t say we wouldn’t mention its free counterpart: LibreOffice .

LibreOffice is the open source answer for people who want to try Microsoft without paying the price tag. (Open source means that the software is built on code that anyone can inspect and enhance). Plus it’s compatible with all of the regular file types people are used to, such as  .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .ppt, and .pptx files.

Check it out if: you like a classic word processor — and moreover, a free one.

Cost: $50 (or try a 30-day free trial) The people behind Mellel don’t just know word processing — they also know catchy, memorable marketing. Their description of why writers should choose Mellel starts like this: “Mellel is a writer's dream come true. To start, it is exceedingly boring: it just works, day in and day out, reliably. An enormous number of people used Mellel to write and they all report that their journey with Mellel was boring and uneventful. As well it should. In other words, it does all the mundane bits, and leaves the creative stuff to you.”

Mellel is not free (and note that it’s only for Mac). In return for the price tag, you’ll get more book-specific tools than other, perhaps more traditional word processors — such as outlining and bibliography-making functions. And, judging by the witty, funny copy on Mellel’s website, Mellel makes the process of writing much more fun than they let on.

Check it out if: you’re a Mac user who wants more than the Pages app offers.

Organization tools

Plotters tend to finish their writing projects quicker than pantsers — simply because when they hit a wall, they have their notes or outlines to reference, allowing them to jump straight over that hurdle and hit the ground running. P.S. You can grab a free template for your book outline here in this comprehensive guide to outlining .

The following resources will help you keep your thoughts organized so that any bouts of writer’s block don’t slow you down.

5. Milanote

Cost: Free for basic plan or $12.50/month for premium. Milanote is an easy-to-use creative writing app to organize your research, ideas, characters and outline in one place.

The vast majority of novelist-oriented writing software is organized around the idea of a linear document. But for most people, writing isn’t linear — because thinking isn’t linear. Writing is about gradually getting a jumble of ideas into shape, and Milanote's writing app matches the way writers think.

Check it out if: you're a plotter who likes a flexible workspace to organize ideas and see a birds-eye view of how your story outline is coming together.

6. Evernote

Cost: free for basic plan or $9.99/month for premium. Its cute, little green elephant logo aside, Evernote is a great and easy-to-use option for writers who could do with a little more organization in their lives.

everyone knows the writing tool evernote but here is a screenshot

The app lets you quickly jot down thoughts, record audio notes, save online articles you’re hoping to reference, and it will sync all of this information across all of your Evernote-installed devices. What’s also handy about the app is the collaborative aspect of it: you can create shared accounts, so that multiple people can access saved documents at once.

Check it out if: you’re prone to getting great ideas while on the go, and need somewhere to make sure you don’t forget them by the time you’re home.

Cost: $5/month or $40/year (or try a 14-day free trial) While it’s ultimately a writing tool, one of the best assets of comprehensive programs like Ulysses or Scrivener are their organizational features. At the end of the day, whether you’re writing a blog post or a full-length novel, the seed of an idea doesn’t get too far without the ability to organize that idea into a cohesive piece of writing.

And that’s exactly what Ulysses allows you to do: organize your thoughts into a well-written work. This is accomplished through features like customizable writing goals and deadlines, plain text enhancements, a distraction-free typewriter mode, bookmarks, outlining functions, and more.

Check it out if: you’re working on a lengthy piece of non-fiction, like a blog post or essay. (For a comparison of Scrivener vs. Ulysses, keep reading!)

8. Scrivener

Cost: $45 (or a 30-use free trial) Literature and Latte ’s word processor is a popular writing tool — also, in large part, thanks to its organizational capabilities that seamlessly allow writers to turn fragmented ideas into a fully realized book/script/research paper/or whatever else you’re writing.

Scrivener vs Ulysses Apart from the price (Scrivener charges a one-time licensing fee while Ulysses charges yearly), the two platforms offer many of the same features. So we’ll focus on what makes the two programs different.

  • Scrivener’s corkboard function is an absolute favorite for writers who rely on visual aid to help with outlining. The function looks like an actual corkboard, and lets writers pin notes to the board in chronological order.
  • Scrivener offers templates for works such as fiction, essays, recipe collections, screenplays, comic books — which gives Scrivener another point for versatility.
  • Ulysses boasts an interface that is slightly more clean and simple — so if ease-of-use is high on your priority list, it might be the better option for you.
  • Ulysses offers a very helpful WordPress and Medium integration, which bloggers who publish on either of these platforms will love.

Check it out if: you’re working on a longer piece of content (like a book or screenplay) and want one comprehensive place to manage all your work. (And don’t forget to check out our equally as comprehensive review of Scrivener’s newest update : Scrivener 3!)

9. Hubspot's AI Content Writer

Cost: Free, with premium upgrade available

HubSpot’s Free AI Content Writer is designed to help bloggers streamline their content creation process. This tool can generate drafts of blog posts, website copy, emails, and more with ease and without additional resources, by relying on prompts or topics provided by users. For those suffering from writer's block, the AI content writer can also create outlines to help spur writing along. 

For those already using HubSpot's marketing and sales tools, the AI content writer's integration will be extra handy. 

Check it out if: you're a blogger short on time or inspiration.

Productivity tools

Alright, let’s kick things into high gear now. You know what you want to use to write, and your thoughts and ideas are concisely organized. If you’re finding it difficult to buckle down and get the job done (or struggle to write quickly or consistently), these resources will help you realize that Nike manta: just do it.

10. Ommwriter

Cost: free web version or $7 for the full program Do you find the clacking sound of old typewriters satisfying? Do you find soft, neutral colours calming? Does nothing really get you focused quite like a purposeful, long, deep breath? If so, Ommwriter might be the tool to help you reach your goal. As the site’s tagline reads, Ommwriter is “a perfect place to think and write.”

Omm writer is a zen writing tool that lets you write with no distractions

With soothing background noises, customizable keyboard noises, and peaceful backgrounds to choose from, Ommwriter could just be the “break” from everything else going on around you that you need to write.

Check it out if: your very best writing ideas come to you while in “savasana.”

11. To Doist

Cost: free or $4/month for premium plan Have you ever woken up in a cold sweat, panicking about something important you forgot to do? Or, god forbid, gripped in dread about how far behind you are on your word-count goals?

Well, To Doist might be able to help. It’s the ultimate app for creating to-do lists — but these aren’t your grandma’s pen-and-paper lists with little check marks beside them (though we mean no offense to your grandma). It lets you get a daily or weekly overview of your tasks, prioritize the tasks that are most important, and even lets you assign tasks to other people if you’re working on a specific goal with other collaborators.

Check it out if: you have never been able to find an agenda that’s souped up enough to keep you on track.

FREE COURSE

How to Build a Solid Writing Routine

In 10 days, learn to change your habits to support your writing.

12. Marinara Timer

Cost: Free The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method meant to promote productivity. In a nutshell, it stipulates that you should work for 25 minutes, then take a 5-minute  break, then work for 25 minutes, take another 5-minute break, etc., etc.

The free-to-use Marinara Timer makes this easy for you by alerting you each time your work sessions and breaks are up. It also offers customizable timers in case the 25/5 isn’t quite right for keeping you on track. Fun fact: taking a break to stand up or walk (or do anything but sit!) every hour is also a good way to protect your back if you sit hunched at a computer working for long stretches at a time.

Check it out if: consistent breaks from work help actually keep you focused on the task at hand.

13. Cold Turkey

Cost: Free for basic plan or $20 for premium plan “Meet your match, Zuckerberg,” says Cold Turkey ’s tagline. In case that, paired with the writing tool’s name, doesn’t make it clear enough, Cold Turkey is a program that allows you to completely rid yourself of distraction. And when we say “completely,” we mean completely.

With Cold Turkey, you can block yourself from accessing certain websites — or even your entire computer — for periods at a time, only allowing you to use the current document you’re working on.

Check it out if: “willpower” is not a characteristic you’d ascribe yourself, and the only way for you to get something done is in a totally distraction-free state.

14. Freedom

Cost: $7/month or $29/year (or a 7-use free trial) Apart from pleasantly getting the “freedom” refrain from Aretha Franklin’s “Think” stuck in your head, the Freedom app is another resource that can turn your devices into tools of productivity once more.

It functions like Cold Turkey; however, a unique function of Freedom is the ability to sync your distraction-free periods across all your devices. So if you know that on Tuesdays, you want your computer, phone, and tablet to all block access to Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook — you can!

Check it out if: letting other people know not to bother you during your non-negotiable writing time isn’t enough, you need to let yourself know not to interrupt, well, yourself.

Cost: Free If total silence encourages your mind to wander, whereas light sensory action keeps your thoughts on the task at hand, Noisli will be a friend to you. The tool lets you choose from a range of soundtracks, such as rain, coffee shop, wind, lake, and more. You can mix several sounds at once, and choose the volume for each one. So let’s say you want to create the atmosphere of writing by a babbling brook, with a fire crackling next to you, and the moon shining brightly overhead. Noisli will make this happen for you!

Check it out if: you get the most work done with white noise.

Editing tools

If you’re planning to publish a book — or any kind of writing you’re hoping to make a profit from, it’s crucial that your work is thoroughly edited. To that end, working with a professional editor is an investment you should give serious thought to.

In the meantime, here are a few editing tools that can help you out along the way. Hopefully, they’ll either ensure a typo-free draft, so by the time you do work with an editor, they can spend less time fixing small typos and more time on big-picture work, or, if you decide to forego a professional edit, you’ll have the tools to do the best editing job you can.

16. Hemingway

Cost: Free The Hemingway app claims to make your writing “bold and clear.” It has a number of handy features like a word-counter and an automatic readability score. But its real use lies in the features that make suggestions to your prose. For instance, it might highlight a complex sentence that’s hard to read. It also highlights instances of passive voice , qualifiers, and adverbs. Let’s take a look at how this passage from Ernest Hemingway’s very own To Have and Have Not fares:

3 writing tools

“Just” is highlighted because it’s a qualifier, and Hemingway suggests, instead: “Be bold. Don’t hedge.” The sentence in red is highlighted as being hard to read. And “probably” is pointed out as an adverb — the app suggests using a forceful verb instead.

Check it out if: you want to bring out your inner Ernie. (Curious what else Hemingway offers? Check out our full review of the app right here .)

19. Cliché Finder

Cost: Free Cliché Finder is exactly what it says on the tin: it combs through your writing in search of clichés, and then highlights them for you. It’s not always necessarily bad to use clichés in your writing, but when you do, you want to be purposeful about it (and not to mention aware of it!).

Check it out if: you want to avoid clichés like the plague, and for your book to sell like hotcakes — and the rest is history.

20. Grammarly

Cost: Free Have you ever sent an email, only to realize that you'd made a glaring typo just as you hit “Send”? Well, no more!

Grammarly essentially functions like the spell checker tool from Microsoft Word or Google Docs, but here’s the great part: it’s a plug-in that will work wherever you happen to writing. That means Twitter, Gmail, Google Docs, Facebook — anywhere. Plus it offers vocabulary or alternate word suggestions — for instance, it might suggest you replace “walking aimlessly,” with the word “wandering.” For a more in-dept analysis, check our full Grammarly review . 

Check it out if: you’re typo-prone! (Read below for a comparison of Grammarly vs. ProWritingAid.)

21. ProWritingAid

Cost: Free browser extension or $79/year for the full software ProWritingAid is a tool you can install that will proofread and spell check your material for you , no matter where you’re writing. It will also offer suggestions to improve your overall language — outside of just grammatical technicalities. (You can even get 20% off via this special offer !) 

ProWritingAid vs Grammarly The two programs offer a lot of the same services, so you might be wondering which one to pick. We have a review of ProWritingAid  that dives deep into this comparison, but the main differences are:

  • Grammarly is free to use, and while ProWritingAid offers a free Google Chrome plug-in, this free option only offers spell checking services, it won’t make editorial suggestions.
  • ProWritingAid is slightly more tailored towards authors, while Grammarly is a slightly better fit for articles and essays. Ultimately, both tools lend a very helpful editing hand, so deciding between the two mostly boils down to the one you enjoy using more.

Check it out if: you want to make sure your writing is as polished as possible.

Workspace tools

At the end of the day, all you really need to write is a pen and paper. All the fancy tools and apps in the world won’t get the words out for you. That being said, creating an environment that’s appealing — and conducive! — to write in can make the whole process more enjoyable, and encourage you to get the job done.

Here are few physical tools to look over if you’re thinking of sprucing up your workspace.

22. Livescribe Pen

Cost: starts at $100 If you prefer writing on paper, but dread the process of transferring your words to a computer, Livescribe will likely be right up your alley. Through Bluetooth technology, the pen can actually transcribe your pen and paper words to your device. What’s more, it can also transcribe voice notes into digital documents for you.

writing tools

Check it out if: you’ve ever felt envy at Rita Skeeter’s Quick-Quotes Quill in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire .

23. Ergonomic desk setups

Cost: Varies As more and more of the workforce moves to sedentary jobs where the majority of 9am to 5pm is spent sitting — usually hunching — at a computer, a growing number of sitting-related health injuries have been occurring. That’s why looking into more ergonomically friendly desk setups is a good idea for writers who spend long hours at the computer — or even writing in a notebook. This could be a standing desk, or even just a number of textbooks piled under your desktop so that your screen is eye level, resulting in less stress on your shoulders.

Check it out if: you don’t want writing gains to come at the cost of growing back pains.

24. Computer Glasses

Cost: Varies Writers are all familiar with computer-caused eyestrains. Because you blink far less when looking at a screen than you do otherwise, computer vision syndrome (CVS) is a condition people have been developing due to long stretches of staring at a computer.

One way to help alleviate this — other than just making sure to take time looking away from your computer — is to invest in some computer glasses. They typically come in blue or amber shades, and are coated with a protective coating.

There are several brands you can check out, such as Pixel Eyewear or Felix Gray .

Check it out if: you notice itchy or tired eyes after long writing sessions.

I tried Cliche Finder several times and it found a couple of items in my text, but it didn't highlight where it was at. The rest of the tools here, that I can use since I'm on a strict income, are amazing!

The 10 Best Writing Tools for Every Writer’s Needs in 2024

Senior Content Marketing Manager

February 13, 2024

Most writers have a pretty love-hate relationship with the art of writing. 

On the one hand, it’s what you do and what you’re good at. On the other hand—it’s really hard.

The good news is that although writing will never be easy, that doesn’t mean it can’t get easier. With the early miracles of digital tools like Microsoft Word to the new era of AI content creation tools , creative writers have seen writing software drastically change—all in an effort to make the process easier.

However, writing tools are starting to become a dime a dozen. It’s hard to tell what writing tool would work for your specific needs. But that’s why we’re here!

We’re giving you a list of the 10 best writing tools you can use in 2023 so you avoid being stuck on a blank page and deliver content free of easily avoidable errors. First, let’s look at what makes a great writing tool in the first place.

What Should You Look For In a Writing Tool?

  • 1. ClickUp 

2. Grammarly

3. hemingway editor, 4. power thesaurus, 5. google docs, 8. reedsy book editor, 10. evernote.

Great writing tools come in all shapes and sizes. Some help you avoid grammar and spelling mistakes, while others focus on keeping your brilliant scripts in some semblance of order. Today’s creative writers are spoiled with choices in online writing tools.

To make the process as easy as possible, you should put together a veritable writing software tech stack to help you at every stage of the writing process. Regardless of the writing tool, you want to keep a sharp eye on a couple of aspects that best writing tools share like:

  • Integration capabilities : No one writing tool is going to do everything for you, so you’ll likely be relying on a couple of writing tools and editing software working together. You want to make sure that every tool you pick is going to play nicely with each other so that each tool makes the others more powerful. 
  • Low price : You’re not made of money! If you’re going to shell out for a couple of writing tools, you want to make sure that the benefits outweigh the costs.
  • Specialization : Great writing tools often specialize in one area, but there are options available that have all the features you could ask for—and more!

Writing software should go hand-in-hand with your productivity tools—because what’s the value of an unproductive writer?

The 10 Best Writing Tools

Whether you’re writing novels or a simple blog post, the best writing tools help you hit your word count goals, use a solid grammar checker, and keep you distraction-free. Let’s look at our favorite writing and editing tools you need to try.

1. ClickUp  

ClickUp isn’t just a writing tool with a surplus of project management features, it’s one of the best productivity tools on the market.

Writers can use ClickUp as the central repository for all of their content—in a distraction-free space or as a collaboration tool with fellow writers. With tagging users or tasks, rich text editing, and powerful search functions, ClickUp works as your central writing tool for all types of content creation.

hemingway writing app example

Hemingway Editor is a writing aid that aims to boost the readability of your writing. It achieves this goal by giving writers access to a free writing app that analyzes sentence structure and gives easy-to-follow feedback.

For instance, the Hemingway app will highlight any sentences it believes are too complex in red. So all you need to do is plug in your work and edit any red sentences until your piece is more clear and easier to read. Plus, it assigns your writing a readability score, so you can ensure your writing fits the intended audience. 

Hemingway Editor is such an impressive tool for writing because it can be hard to edit your own work for stylistic issues like over-relying on adverbs or passive voice usage. With Hemingway Editor, you can quickly fix these problems, improve an already great first draft, and become a better writer.

Hemingway Features: 

  • Color-coded editing suggestions make it easy to skim your articles
  • The program detects hard-to-read sentences so you can make your writing clear
  • Easy importer allows for quick edits regardless of where you’re writing

Hemingway Pros:

  • No login or signup to use
  • Simple interface means anyone can use it
  • Helps you cut down on hard-to-spot problems like sentence complexity and adverb overuse

Hemingway Cons: 

  • Lacks a lot of features you’d see in other editing programs like Grammarly
  • No way to integrate it with your actual writing tool like Microsoft Word
  • Not ideal for writing ideas

Hemingway Cost:

  • Paid Version : $19.99 (one-time payment)

Hemingway Ratings and Reviews:

  • G2: 4.4/5 (46 reviews)
  • Capterra: 4.4/5 (10 reviews)

power thesaurus writing tool example

Power Thesaurus is a website that helps people find different words to use in their writing. This writing tool is great for those looking for a more convenient, digital thesaurus. With its search function, you can find synonyms that help you say what you want to say in a new and interesting way.

Plus, Power Thesaurus provides antonyms so writers can add variety and contrast to their stories. Power Thesaurus may not be the most exciting writing tool you’ve ever seen. However, the free version should be perfect for most people and it can be invaluable when you’re stuck looking for that exact word that’s currently escaping you.

Power Thesaurus Features: 

  • Simple search bar allows you to input a word and get a list of synonyms, antonyms, and more
  • Includes a chrome extension and mobile app
  • Hit the ground running with endless synonym and antonym options

Power Thesaurus Pros:

Free writing software FAQ

Here are some questions lots of people have about writing apps and how to choose the right one.

What's a good free writing tool?

Tools like Google Docs and WordCounter are free forever and very functional. Other apps, like Grammarly or ProWritingAid, have free plans that offer basic features, with more advanced features available via a paid plan.

But there are a lot of free writing tools available that perform a wide variety of functions—everything from brainstorming to research and note-taking to writing to editing to proofreading.

What writing tool do most writers use?

There's a wide variety of writing tools out there, and which one a writer uses really comes down to preference. A lot of writers use Google Docs to write because they already use Google for so many other things—but some may prefer a tool like Notion, where they can combine writing with project management.

What makes a good writing tool?

In short, whatever helps you write! If a blank page and no distraction is what helps you actually get words down, then open a new Google Doc and go at it. If you need to organize your thoughts before you even think about writing, consider adding a brainstorming tool to the mix. Each writer's process is different, and it's all about finding tools that enable your writing, not add another roadblock to your process.

Sharpen your craft with your new toolkit

As is the case with many skills, it can be easy to focus too much on improving your writing through tools alone. You'll maximize the results you'll get from your apps with a solid foundation in writing techniques. Grab the tools that appeal to you on this page, then brush up on your core writing skills to become a killer prose machine.

Are you looking for the best AI writing tools to help you create high-quality content quickly and more efficiently?

Whether you’re a blogger, journalist, or digital marketer, chances are you could use extra help to create quality written content.

Lucky for you, artificial intelligence has come a long way in recent years. Now there are loads of powerful tools that can help automate writing tasks, simplify your workflow, and help you to produce content at a rate you never thought imaginable.

In this article, we’ll take a look at 16 of the best AI writing tools available today that will help boost your productivity and take your content creation game to the next level!

What is AI Writing Software?

AI writing software is a type of artificial intelligence that is used to create written content. It uses Natural Language Processing (NLP) algorithms to automatically generate relevant written content from input data.

AI writing software can be used for a variety of purposes, such as creating web content, blog posts, product reviews, press releases, and other types of copy.

AI writing software works by analyzing user-supplied data, such as text, images, or audio recordings, to understand and interpret the context of the information provided.

Using this analysis, the software can determine what type of output would be most appropriate for the given input.

The AI then generates sentences based on its analysis and understanding of the context. The result is an automated process that produces high-quality written content with minimal effort from the user.

Above all, AI writing software can help streamline many business processes, including content creation and marketing automation.

What Are the Best AI Writing Tools?

Features to look for in a writing assistant, 5 best ai writing assistants, 3 best ai writing apps, how to find the best ai writing tool.

If you are looking for the best writing assistant software, you’re in the right place.

AI writing tools can help you write articles quicker, produce ad copy at the click of a button, draft outlines to presentations, craft to-do lists, and so much more.

But how do you know which one out of the 100s available is best for you?

As writers, we know there is no one-tool-fits-all solution to writing. That’s why we have compiled a varied list of tools, all with unique features at different price points, for you to choose from.

The best writing assistant software will help you with all four steps of the writing process: ideation, drafting, editing, and proofing. Within each of these stages, here are some useful features you should look out for.

Ideation Features

Ideation is the process in which a writer generates ideas, brainstorms the validity of those ideas, and narrows down what they want to write about. The features that can be useful for this stage are:

Ideation templates : Mind mapping, storyboarding, brainstorming, sketching, and other templates can be helpful to allow you to organize your ideas.

Idea generator : This is a feature where you enter a concept or prompt, and the tool comes up with related ideas.

Outline generator : Some tools can generate a full outline after you have provided them with a brief, which saves you time.

Drafting Features

Drafting is the process of putting pen to paper and writing. Some writers will have one draft, and others will write hundreds. Here are some features that can help with the drafting process:

Focus mode : This can help you get your initial ideas down on the page without distractions.

Personalizable dictionary : Red underlines can be distracting, especially if you use slang, made up places and names, and different languages.

Editing Features

Editing is when a writer reviews what they have written and ensures it says what was intended in the way it was intended. There are three stages of editing: structural editing, line editing, and copyediting. Here are some features that can help with the three stages of editing:

Structural checks : Structural checks help you keep writing engaging by ensuring you have a balance of long and short sentences and fast and slow paragraphs.

Repeats checks : Repetition can make writing feel stagnant, but it’s difficult to notice them by yourself. An AI checker can help.

Readability scores: It is important to match the complexity of your text to your readers. If your writing is too simple or complex, it will not have the desired effect.

Proofing Features

Proofreading involves reviewing text and correcting grammatical, structural, factual, and spelling mistakes. Here are some features that can aid the proofreading process:

Spell checkers : Running your writing through a spell checker that is personalized to your country, for example British vs US English, is an essential step before sharing your work.

Grammar checkers : Correct grammar ensures clarity and prevents miscommunication.

Consistency checkers : It’s important to check for consistency with hyphenation, quote usage, ellipses, capitalization, and more.

ProWritingAid

ProWritingAid is an all-in-one AI powered writing assistant designed for creative, business, academic, and technical writing.

The tool offers 20+ writing reports that help with every aspect of writing, from improving sentence length and structure, to adding transitions, to highlighting overused words, to correcting spelling, punctuation, and grammatical errors, and even providing suggestions to enhance dialogue.

In addition to this, you can also see in-tool articles, videos, and quizzes so you can learn and improve as you go.

With a Premium Pro license, you also get access to Sparks, which is an AI generative tool that provides more options than almost any other software on the market. With Sparks, you can improve fluency, summarize text, add sensory descriptions, expand from notes, change to present or past tense, add dialogue, quotes, emphasis, counterarguments, and so much more.

Integrations : Windows, Mac, MS Word (Windows & Mac), Google Docs, Scrivener, Final Draft, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge

Price : ProWritingAid has three pricing options: free, Premium, and Premium Pro. The free plan allows users to access 20+ reports with a 500 word limit. The Premium plan has an unlimited word count, and it costs just $10 a month. The Premium Pro plan comes with 50 rephrases a day and costs $12 a month.

Conclusion : If you want a writing assistant that can help you with every aspect of writing, including generative AI, then try ProWritingAid for free .

Claude is an AI writing assistant that is accessible through a simple chat interface.

It is designed for business professionals and can help with coding, content generation, customer support, editing, translation, summarization, and more.

One of the most popular features of the tool is the high level of security. Unlike many other generative AI tools on the market, Claude does not use user data to train its models. This makes it perfect for businesses who need help working with sensitive information.

Integrations : Zapier

Price : There are two options, Claude instant and Claude 2. Claude instant is good for lightweight requests at a reasonable price. Claude 2 is a more expensive and advanced version of the tool that is designed for complex tasks. Each plan is priced per million tokens, which are used to complete actions.

Conclusion : Claude is an excellent option for business professionals who frequently encounter limits and issues with other free generative AI tools. However, if you are a casual user, its functionality is probably more advanced than you need.

LanguageTool

LanguageTool is a paraphraser, text editor, and grammar checker.

It can fix punctuation mistakes, help with formatting, and allow you to set up your own style guide. Premium users also have access to unlimited rephrasings, whilst free users are limited to five per day.

Additionally, LanguageTool works in over 25 languages, including English, Spanish, French, and Italian —a lthough it doesn’t offer the option to translate any text.

Integrations : Chrome, Edge, Google Docs, Firefox, and more

Price : There are three plans: free, premium, and teams. The free plan offers basic features, with the advanced features behind a paywall. The premium plan offers four payment intervals with the cheapest being the two-year plan, and the most expensive being the monthly. The team plan is priced according to the number of users and offers additional features like team style guide and dictionary.

Conclusion : LanguageTool’s price is on the lower end, and it offers a fair selection of features. However, the lack of a plagiarism checker, tone checker, and structural reports means that academic and creative writers may need to carry out additional edits.

QuillBot is a writing assistant that is designed for students and working professionals.

QuillBot offers seven features: paraphraser, grammar checker, co-writer, plagiarism checker, summarizer, translator, and citation generator. The most well-known of these features is the paraphraser, which has a variety of modes, including standard, fluency, and creative.

The tool is available in over 20 languages, including English, Spanish, German, and French.

Integrations : Chrome, Google Docs, Microsoft Word, and more

Price : There are two plans available: free and premium. The free plan is limited and gives users an idea of what the tool can do. The premium plan includes all features and is available in three different payment plans: annual, semi-annual, and monthly. The annual plan costs $99.95 a year, and the monthly plan totals to $239.40 a year.

Conclusion : The plagiarism checker and citation generator make QuillBot a useful tool for students, although the pricing is on the higher end for academic aids.

Wordtune is an AI writing assistant designed for working professionals.

It helps to speed up the writing process with a variety of tools. “Rewrites and Spices” allow you to edit and fine-tune your writing. “AI prompts” allow you to create content from scratch. “AI summaries” give you an outline of anything, such as an email or an article.

Integrations : Chrome, Edge, Microsoft Word, and more

Price : There are four plans: free, plus, unlimited, and business. The free plan is limited and gives users an idea of what the tool can do. The plus plan costs $10 a month and has more rewrites and prompts than the free plan. The unlimited plan costs $15 a month and has unlimited rewrites, AI prompts, and summaries. The business plan has pricing on request and comes with enhanced security options.

Conclusion : It’s a competitively priced, rounded option for business professionals, but it isn’t designed for students or creative writers.

Rytr is an AI writing assistant designed for content creators.

It can create blog outlines, copywriting frameworks, emails, social media posts, SEO meta titles, product descriptions, job descriptions, and more.

The tool works in over 30 languages, and it has a built-in plagiarism checker, which ensures all copy is original. It also has an image generator, although this is limited on every plan, including unlimited.

Integrations : Chrome and desktop apps for Mac and PC

Price : There are three plans: free, saver, and unlimited. The free plan allows you to generate 10,000 characters per month. The saver plan costs $9 a month and allows you to generate 100,000 characters and 20 images. The unlimited plan costs $29 a month and allows for unlimited content generation.

Conclusion : It’s adept at generating short-form copy, such as social media posts and emails, but it isn’t as good at creating long-form content, such as reports and articles.

Like ProWritingAid, Grammarly is an AI and writing assistant tool that checks your writing in real time. It is designed to streamline the writing process and reduce writing errors.

It’s available for multiple different English dialects, including British English, American English, Canadian English, and Australian English.

Some of its most popular features are its spell checker, citation generator, grammar checker, synonym checker, readability score, writing style suggestions, plagiarism detection, tone adjustments, and writing assistant.

Integrations : Windows, Mac, MS Word (Windows & Mac), Google Docs, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge

Price : Grammarly offers four different subscriptions: free, premium, business, and enterprise. The free plan is simple and corrects written mistakes. The premium plan includes rewrites, plagiarism checks, and more. The business and enterprise plans are designed for teams and organizations, and they include enhanced security and customized integrations.

Conclusion : This is a generalized tool that is suitable for most types of writers. However, if you are looking for a targeted tool that offers customized writing options for creative, academic, or business writers, other tools may be better suited.

Copy.ai is a generative AI writing assistant software designed for marketing and sales teams.

It can be used to generate blog posts, social media posts, emails, and more. One of its top features is that it is available in over 25 languages, including English, Chinese, and Spanish.

Integrations : Zapier, Chrome, and desktop apps for Windows and Mac

Price : There are five pricing options: free, pro, team, growth, and scale. The free option is designed for individuals, so if you only need the tool for yourself, you are in luck. The other plan options are based on team size. For example, a pro license has up to five seats and costs $36 a month. The scale option has up to 200 seats and costs $3,000 a month.

Conclusion : Copy.ai is a suitable tool for single users because it’s free, but if you have a larger team, it can be prohibitively expensive.

There is no one master tool that is perfect for everyone because each writer has different requirements. Instead, here are a few questions you should ask in order to work out which tool is best suited to you.

What stages of the content creation process would you like help with? Do you need help with the ideation, drafting, editing, or proofing stages, or a mixture of them?

What level of help do you want? Do you want a tool that will lead the way and generate content using artificial intelligence, or would you rather have a tool that works with you rather than for you?

What features are important for you? Do you need writing suggestions, plagiarism detection, a summarizer, a translator, a consistency checker, or something else?

Which integrations are important? Do you prefer to write online, offline, in an app, or in your favorite tools?

What is your budget? Are you looking for a free tool you can use part time, or do you need an advanced tool for your company?

For writers who are looking for an in-depth tool that teaches you how to improve your writing rather than doing it for you, then ProWritingAid is a great option.

ProWritingAid helps you to perfect your writing skills and learn from your mistakes at the same time. It also offers over 20 reports that can do everything from improving the structure, to detecting inconsistencies, to improving written transitions, to highlighting repeats, and more.

The 16 best gpt-3 & gpt-4 tools (and how to use them).

Writing original content has never been easier. Learn about the best GPT tools you can use to automatically generate high-quality content.

Published on Jul 31, 2023

By Austin Distel

3 writing tools

Artificial intelligence that actually sounds, well, like a smart human being. That’s basically what GPT-4 (previously known as GPT-3) is in a nutshell. These last few years have seen the rise of many GPT-4 tools with their own unique set of features and uses. 

If you’ve been thinking of reaping the benefits that a GPT-4 tool can offer you, this guide was made for you. Below, we go through some of the best GPT-4 tools you can start using to supercharge your workflows and get more done. 

What is GPT-4 and how does it work?

GPT stands for Generative Pre-trained Transformer and the three stands for third generation. GPT-4 is a machine learning model created with open AI and neural networks.

It’s specifically trained to generate all types of realistic human text that reads like something a human would write through the use of billions of machine learning parameters. It essentially intakes text and content across the internet and uses it to spot predictive writing patterns used in common language. 

As you can probably guess, its text generation features come with a lot of implications for businesses. Because GPT-4 can be used to generate anything from prose to dialogue to even news articles, its use is expansive and can be transformative for online publishing workflows . 

However, as GTP-3 evolves, some shortcomings can include: 

  • Limited learning due to being pretrained
  • Human biases are translated into the software
  • Can only take in a bit of input at a time

Let’s walk through some of the best GPT-4 tools you can use to start generating content.

What is GPT-4 in content? 

GPT-4 stands for Generative Pre-trained Transformer and is a type of language model that leans on machine learning and deep learning principles to create human-like copy and content through an API and natural language processing (NLP).

It’s part of the GPT-n series, forming the third edition of the language prediction model made by OpenAI, and more recently, the basis of the viral AI generator ChatGPT .

The model works by using pre-trained algorithms and automation to populate web pages and blog posts with well-written content that reads just like any other blog post or web page. The algorithms have been fed more than 570GB of text data through crawling the web and absorbing crucial information about a breath-taking amount of topics. 

For content creators and content marketers, a content generator is the perfect writing buddy, especially if you’re looking to scale your content creation efforts and build a bigger content network without blowing your budget on resources. 

How does AI help in content generation? 

AI uses semantic analysis to learn how to build language and create sentences that actually make sense. Every time it reads a new piece of text or analyzes the information on a page, it becomes infinitely more knowledgeable and flexible.

It goes one step further than simply looking at the words, and instead monitors how words are used in a contextual way and the intent behind them. 

While OpenAI’s GPT-4 can help actually put words on a page (great if you’re facing the dreaded writer’s block), AI, in general, can be hugely beneficial for content creation teams. 

  • Scale content creation efforts : perhaps the biggest benefit of AI is how fast it works. Unlike humans who are fairly limited in how much they can do in a given timeframe, AI tools are uninhibited in this regard and can therefore create huge amounts of copy, AI content, and AI art in a fraction of the time 
  • Come up with content ideas: stuck for blog ideas? AI can use its past learnings to suggest blog post topics and content ideas based on similar pieces in your industry and on the web
  • Enhance SEO efforts: AI can identify the most promising keywords for your brand and optimize landing pages, web pages, and blog posts based on those keywords
  • Personalize content: consumers today crave personalization–it shows a brand cares. AI tools are able to personalize content, from email marketing campaigns to landing pages so that each customer has a unique and individual experience 

Advantages of using GPT-4 for content generation 

While AI has many different uses in marketing , GPT-4’s specific purpose is creating content from set cues. It can help you scale content creation efforts and build out tons of content quickly for your digital marketing campaigns, and it also has plenty of other advantages. 

1. Most knowledgeable language predictor

GPT-4 has been plugged with so much data that it’s now the most trained language model available. It has a learning parameter of 175 billion parameters, which instantly makes it more knowledgeable and accurate than any other language model. 

2. Needs very little input

It would be pointless to use AI for content creation if it it needed a lot of input – you’d still end up being crunched for time and struggle to scale. Luckily, with GPT-4, you don’t need to provide it with much information for it to create great, unique content. It just needs minimal input and the pre-learned model does the rest for you.

Jasper’s Long-Form Content Assistant can either create content from scratch or build a blog post structure for you with input about your brand and the topic you want to write about. 

3. Versatile for all your content needs

Need to write articles, product descriptions, blog posts, landing pages, ad copy, social media updates, Tweets, emails, and more? GPT-4 has you covered. It can create content for a whole host of needs and uses intent and context to make sure it’s serving the right content for the right purpose. 

4. Create high ranking content 

GPT-4 not only produces human-like content, but it can also optimize it for SEO which can help push your website up the search results. It can generate high-quality, informative blog posts that are rich with keywords and are plagiarism free for a chance to rank in the SERPs. 

5. Generate multiple ad copy variations

Testing ads is crucial if you want to find the winning combination, but it can be a costly, time-consuming process. The GPT-4 helps you easily write and test hundreds of different copy variations that you can instantly run to increase sales and improve your return on ad spend (ROAS). 

6. Come up with winning content ideas

GPT-4 can generate ideas based on its complex learnings. It crawls the web to find content that’s popular and suggests ideas based on that and your chosen keywords to ensure you never run out of content ideas. 

7. Say goodbye to writer’s block

Tired of staring at a blank page? GPT-4 eradicates writer’s block by creating content from scratch so you don’t have to. Simply give it a few relevant phrases and a tiny amount of information and it can create thousands of words in minutes totally from scratch. 

8. Reach new markets

Language barriers can limit your reach in new markets – and, let’s face it, translation apps can be glitchy at best. GPT-4 can write creative and accurate content in more than 25 languages, unlocking new markets and destinations for your brand. 

How to generate unique content using GPT-4 

The way GPT-4 works means it pulls information from a database of articles from all over the web. This helps it decipher what words generally appear in a sequence together so it can form intelligible sentences based on fact. At its core, it’s a learning tool that thrives on being given input, but it helps to have a few things in place to really make the most of it. 

1. Understand your audience

Knowing who you’re talking to will help you feed the AI the right information so they can serve content that’s relevant and applicable to your audience’s needs. To do this, create customer personas that detail the demographics, interests, challenges, and pain points of each segment of your audience. 

2. Solidify your tone of voice

Your tone of voice will help you connect with your audience and build relationships and trust. With Jasper, you can select from a range of tones to ensure you’re hitting the spot with every piece of content you create.

The Video Script Outline template asks what tone of voice you would like to use. 

3. Refine your USP 

Jasper often asks you for a couple of sentences about your brand or product before it can generate content. Have your refined unique selling point (USP) ready, as well as a couple of relevant keywords and a short description of each product you want to write about. 

4. Teach the tool

AI learns from experience, so by giving it pre-written examples of content you like, you’re teaching it how you want to create your own content. The more information you plug into the tool, the more accurate its output will be. 

5. Edit your content 

While AI draws from millions of blog posts to find correct information, it will sometimes get it wrong. Avoid this by fact-checking everything the tool generates and editing out any awkward phrases or sentences that don’t make sense. 

6. Use it to scale

One of the biggest benefits of Jasper and other GPT-4 tools is that they can produce content at scale. Make the most of this by using it to produce content like product descriptions and ad copy that you need in bulk. 

Things to keep in mind when using GPT-4 

GPT-4 is a great writing assistant. Its incredible knowledge and learning capabilities mean that, over time, it can produce increasingly accurate content that hits the sweet spot every single time. But it’s worth remembering that it is a machine, after all, and it might require a human touch every now and again. 

The best way to use it is in tandem with copywriters or other humans to make sure you’re putting out the best quality content possible. 

Tap into Jasper’s library of templates to ensure you’re creating the right content for the right situation. For example, you can use the Blog Post Intro template along with the Blog Post Outline template and the Blog Post Conclusion template to build out well-structured blog content, or you can leverage the Google Ads Description template to make sure you’re producing accurate ad copy. 

This is only the beginning for GPT-4 tools

If one thing is for certain, is that the use of GPT-4 tools is here to stay. As we see a lot of useful tools being created for content creation, the adoption of writing assistants and AI generators is imminent. 

Today, natural language processing, algorithms, and open-source resources have come together to make the work easier for everyday marketers. If you’re ready to start using all that GPT-4 tools have to offer, get started with Jasper.

As an AI writing assistant, it’s one of the easiest tools to get started with and comes with plenty of features that’ll transform your writing with the click of a button.

What’s GPT-3?

Facts, considerations, and alternatives for enterprise use

Writer Team

The Writer Team

GPT-3 - facts, considerations, alts

By the time this article is published, it’ll already be outdated. That’s how fast the pace of innovation is for generative AI . It was only a few months ago that OpenAI’s large language model (LLM) GPT-3, was publicized as one of the major technological breakthroughs of the 21st century — and it’s already considered obsolete when compared to other LLMs.

But if you’re new to the world of AI, having a clear understanding of GPT-3 will help give you context on later generations, the business risks associated with using tools powered by GPT-3, and the landscape of generative AI technology beyond GPT-3 and ChatGPT.

By the end of this article, you’ll have a better understanding of what GPT-3 is, what considerations you should keep in mind for business use, and how enterprise-ready alternatives like Palmyra help companies become content powerhouses with generative AI.

Summarized by Writer

  • GPT-3 is a deep learning autoregressive language model that can generate human-like text when given a prompt
  • Businesses are using GPT-3 for a variety of tasks, such as content creation, copywriting, predictive abilities, and programming
  • Risks associated with GPT-3 include false and biased output, lack of critical thinking and creativity, insufficient understanding of context, lack of knowledge about the brand, and data and security concerns
  • Alternatives to GPT-3 include GPT-4 and Palmyra, which offers its own proprietary LLMs with integrated writing experiences, third-party application support, and claim detection to protect the brand’s reputation
  • For companies looking to use generative AI, they should consider solutions with specific use cases and ensure they are aware of potential risks and pitfalls.

What is GPT-3?

GPT-3 (Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3) is a deep learning autoregressive language model. That’s a mouthful of tech-speak for “a machine learning model that predicts the next word based on past context and words.”

Simply put, GPT-3 can generate text that sounds natural and human-like. When a user inputs a prompt or request, the model uses the power of artificial intelligence to generate a response that’s the most accurate and fluent.

This is possible because GPT-3 uses a language learning model trained on 175bn parameters . In other words, GPT-3 is trained on over eight years worth of data collected from a variety of sources, including the English version of Wikipedia, and a repository of web crawl data called Common Crawl . GPT-3 is trained on data collected up to 2021. So don’t even try to ask it about the series finale to The Walking Dead , unless you want a made up answer (a problem we’ll discuss later in this article).

ChatGPT question: How did the walking dead tv series end?

This vast amount of training data allows GPT-3 to detect data patterns and generate sentences that are convincingly human, and mostly accurate. A version of GPT-3, GPT-3.5, is the model that powers OpenAI’s chatbot, ChatGPT .

How are businesses using GPT-3 today?

As a commercially available API, GPT-3 allows developers to build their products on the GPT-3 framework for a licensing fee.

Developers are using GPT-3 to build tools that’ll help people save time, improve their content creation, and harness internet information to optimize task roles.

Companies are using GPT-3 powered tools for myriad reasons. Here are a few:

  • Content creation: from blogs to ebooks to social media, GPT-3 can curate text in seconds
  • Copywriting: website content and product descriptions
  • Predictive ability : search and data analysis
  • Programming and coding : finding and fixing bugs in code, or translating between programming language

In short, businesses are relying on GPT-3’s capabilities to increase efficiency in all their operations and optimize processes that’d otherwise require significant manual effort and resources.

What are the risks associated with GPT-3?

In the words of OpenAI founder, Sam Altman , GPT-3 “has serious weaknesses and sometimes makes very silly mistakes… AI is going to change the world, but GPT-3 is just a very early glimpse.”

Sam Altman Tweet: "The GPT-3 hype is way too much. It’s impressive (thanks for the nice compliments!) but it still has serious weaknesses and sometimes makes very silly mistakes. AI is going to change the world, but GPT-3 is just a very early glimpse. We have a lot still to figure out."

Generative AI has become the “new thing.” It’s the recurring conversation held in every company’s coffee corner and every LinkedIn feed.

What once was cutting-edge technology for the tech-savvy few has piqued interest from even the most mainstream enterprise companies looking to understand generative AI and explore use cases for adoption .

But any enterprise looking for AI generative solutions needs to be aware of the risks and gaps that exist in current solutions.

False and biased GPT-3 output could tarnish a brand’s reputation

Your company’s digital presence relies on its reputation and authority on industry topics. Relying too heavily on GPT-3 could put your brand’s reputation on the line as it can’t fact-check and accurately represent information.

It all comes down to “garbage in, garbage out.” The vast datasets GPT-3 is trained on contain pretty much everything published on the internet up until 2021, including misinformation, outdated material, and content containing biases regarding race, gender, and other demographic factors. As a result, outputs from GPT-3 powered tools have the potential to spew inaccurate, harmful content that perpetuates discrimination.  

There have been many cases where GPT-3 has been accused of showing a bias in its responses. 

For example, a researcher at the University of California, Berkeley’s Computation and Language Lab reported that ChatGPT (powered by GPT-3.5) proposed that people deserve to be tortured if they were from North Korea, Syria, or Iran.

A study by the University of Santa Clara that found GPT-3 had a “brilliance” bias against women.

As GPT-3 is a “black box”, there’s no real way to quality-check training data inputs. It means any content generated by GPT-3 could be inaccurate and misrepresented. When this content is linked to a brand, it can negatively affect the brand’s reputation, which can be extremely damaging.

GPT-3 lacks critical thinking and creativity for thought leadership

Since GPT-3 is based on algorithms, it simply mimics patterns. It lacks the ability to provide fresh insights informed by experience or creativity. It relies on the quality of your inputs and cannot apply original ideas to new contexts.

As such, if a company relies on GPT-3 to advocate for their thoughts and opinions, it risks finding roadblocks or inaccurate content.

This could be problematic when it comes to marketing or other creative endeavors, as content created with GPT-3 may lack the necessary human touch or creative flair.

GPT-3 has an insufficient understanding of context

GPT-3 is also limited in its ability to understand the context of a given situation. It relies heavily on data and input from the user, which, if incorrect or missing, can lead to inaccurate results.

For example, GPT-3 may be unable to distinguish between a humorous comment and a serious one, or may fail to grasp the subtleties of a complex situation.

It’s essential to monitor the quality of the content produced and be aware of the potential for tarnishing a brand’s reputation, lack of creativity, and insufficient understanding of context.

GPT-3 doesn’t know your brand

Content that represents your brand is instrumental for the success of a company’s online presence and recognition.

Ultimately, GPT-3 isn’t an employee at your company who has been trained to understand your company’s values and product offerings. The lack of training means GPT-3 doesn’t understand how to echo your brand’s mission in its content, and it can create bottlenecks to creative efforts.

As the output of GPT-3 is based on a generic algorithm, it’s not aligned with your brand. As a result, GPT-3 limits your brand’s strength and growth. 

Using GPT-3 for cross-departmental collaboration is complicated

Cross-department collaboration can become a challenge quickly, as departments have different ideas on how best to use GPT-3 or how much autonomy it should have when making decisions.

And due to the nature of GPT-3 requiring single prompts, scaling content across an organization is tricky. As each new content starts from scratch with a different prompt. This means there’s no straightforward way to repeat common use cases for each team’s needs.

For companies looking to use generative AI, they need to be on the hunt for solutions that have specific use cases for their teams. As this will empower teams with tools to support their content goals as a whole, and not as single prompts.  

GPT-3 poses a risk to data and security concerns

When using GPT-3, the prompts and information you input don’t magically disappear as your content is generated. They’re stored and used later as training data for the foundation model, which generates content for millions of ChatGPT users every day. This means any tool built on OpenAI’s LLMs has the right to store, access, and use your data.

To put this in perspective, if anyone at your company creates a prompt disclosing confidential company or customer data, then that data is stored and part of the OpenAI’s database. That means all your work towards confidentiality and adhering to customer privacy practices goes out the window.

This poses significant risks for privacy laws, IP risks, and your company’s proprietary information is stored and accessed by OpenAI.

Alternatives to GPT-3

GPT-3 started a tsunami of hype. It got the momentum of generative AI rolling and raised awareness about the possibilities it could provide businesses.

While GPT-3 and ChatGPT might be the first to reach a mass market scale, there are alternative solutions appearing.

On one hand, we have OpenAI’s newest release–GPT-4. It’s a more powerful, flexible, and accurate version of its predecessor.

GPT-4 also uses NLP to generate text, but it comes with an increase of 40% in factual accuracy and a 25,000-word limit (previously the limit was 3,000). Not only is there a higher output and accuracy, but GPT-4 can use images as inputs for prompts. 

That said, security experts still warn that GPT-4 retains and even enhances some of the security risks associated with GPT-3 and ChatGPT. 

On the other hand, the Palmyra model from Writer is one of the few non-GPT generative AI platforms. Instead, Palmyra offers businesses their own proprietary LLMs that avoid hefty security and privacy issues.

Palmyra LLM from Writer

What’s the difference between GPT-3 and Palmyra?

While both GPT-3 and Palmyra are both deep-learning autoregressive language models. The biggest difference is that Palmyra acts as a company’s own proprietary LLM.

Palmyra gives enterprises their own LLM

Palmyra LLMs are built on their own proprietary language model and trained with layers of your brand’s content, writing style, guidelines, terminology, and company facts.

As May Habib commented in a recent press release , “We give customers all the benefits of an application layer without any of the risks of other AI applications and commercial models. Enterprise leaders want to invest in solutions that will essentially give them their own LLM.”

Therefore, your content outcomes are significantly smarter and tailored to your business. 

This allows for a holistic extension of your brand for every interaction, creating a consistent and memorable brand experience.

Get peace of mind with Palmyra

As Writer is one of few generative AIs that isn’t built on GPT LLM, the data put into the model isn’t stored openly and used to train the model. 

The strong privacy and security policies that Writer follows mean that all data, from internal communication to website copy, is used for your own company and protected from open-source and third-party leaks. And Writer is the only LLM company certified in both SOC-2 Type II and HIPAA.

Support your brand’s growth from every angle

Maintaining your brand’s writing style within a department is challenging enough, imagine trying to maintain a voice when the LLM isn’t built to understand your writing style.

Palmyra can support companies maintain their own writing guidelines , style, and data. Partly because the LLM is trained on your data, and because it can understand multimedia inputs like text, audio, video, and images.

And, you don’t have to worry about tarnishing your brand reputation due to misinformation. Palmyra checks that for you with claim detection , a little highlight that pops up when Writer can’t verify a fact.

How GPT-3 writing tools work & 4 Things To Be Careful With When Using Them

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Trending articles.

Since the emergence of GPT-3 there is a flood of startups battling for the attention of users selling AI copywriting services for various formats.

Emails, blog posts, landing pages, ad copy, sales communication...

Remember when most of the translation and proofreading work was still done by humans?

Then arrived DeepL, Google Translate, and Grammarly.

Democratizing and accelerating literacy and language for everybody.

Guess what?

What happened there is now happening with text creation.

The source layer of the whole value chain.

Let’s discuss what is happening with AI copywriting, why GPT-3 is just the beginning , and how most of these AI copywriting tools are not doing much beyond building some pretty face on top of the same core.

Jarvis, Copy AI, CopySmith, CopyShark, Writesonic, Anyword...

They came, saw GPT-3, and now are trying to win you as a prospective user.

Some AI copywriting tools have grown incredibly fast, building strong revenue runways, and raising from fancy investors.

Often overpromising with hundreds of templates that do not really deliver what they was said  to be and when boiled down they are all the same having no power to influence and improve on their very core text quality.

They all are dependent on...

GPT-3 from OpenAI.

Capable of a lot, a true generalistic powerhouse of artificial intelligence and a lighthouse for many curious minds who have now flocked to the field of natural language generation.

But GPT-3 is only the beginning of an incredibly fast-developing technology branch.

Suddenly there was GPT-3 and the danger became an opportunity. The history of OpenAI

Bare with me for a short technical introduction. Let me tell you more about the meaning of those seemingly secretive letters.

G P T - 3 stands for Generative Pre-trained Transformer v3 .

Let me walk you through it - word by word.

Starting off easy “generative” means that the AI model is meant to create.

With “transformer”, we are not talking about Autobots the size of a 3-story building as we know them from movies.

Transformers are a relatively new development in the field of deep learning and artificial intelligence.

A technique giving a machine the capability to learn the patterns of the human language and continuing it by creating sentences word for word.

A transformer model alone is like a newborn not able to do much up until it learns from its parents.

Transformers learn by reading through billions of examples to become creative.

That’s why it is called “pre-trained” on a large body of human language.

We talk about trillions of words.

I will also talk about models here and there.

We are not doing high fashion here, hence, try to think of a model as a snapshot of something.

Including all experiences, learnings, and developments it went through.

Think about how you woke up this morning, this single moment reflecting and including your whole life full of experience and learning which made you the person you are today.

Imagine you take a snapshot of this moment with all the previously influencing events. This is a model pre-trained on your experiences.

Let me know if this made the GPT-3 model a little bit more understandable to you in the comments or in a DM.

We are TextCortex an AI startup that takes away 80% of your writing work.

The history of OpenAI

Why is OpenAI important in this context?

They were the lighthouse capable of gathering crucial interest in the field.

Drawing people from all background into the space from inquisitive academics, serious corporations, creative entrepreneurs all the way to single individuals who all want to be part when transformer technology makes history.

Let’s start this storyline with those who have created GPT-3.

End of 2015 - The story starts as with so many innovative developments we see today with the technoking himself, Elon Musk.

Together with Sam Altman and a few other investor buddies, they pledged a whopping US$ 1 billion to build a non-profit organization that would freely collaborate with the research community and spearhead the ethical development of AI.

2019 was a truly eventful year for OpenAI.

After Elon Musk left the organizationM icrosoft got involved with another billion USD transforming the company into a commercial-driven for-profit organization.

While OpenAI got ready to market, one of their models started to make waves -  - back then proclaimed of being too dangerous to release to the world.

open-ai-news

Sidenote: The dangers mentioned above was one of the reasons for me to move to space while I was still studying machine learning at university.

linkedin-dominik-lambersy-post

In 2020 they released GPT-3 to the world.

An AI model almost 116 times larger than its predecessor with 175 bn. parameters *.

Initially, only a few handful of selected institutions had access to experiment with it up until recently when they opened GPT-3 up to everybody willing to pay the expensive buck for its capabilities.

  • think about parameters as the size of the AI brain complementing and helping you.

The emergence of AI copywriting

GPT-3 has motivated a lot of product builders to create a pleasantly looking user interface on top of GPT-3. I just mentioned a few of them in the beginning.

However, we observe new launches of the ever so identical product on a weekly basis.

After seeing the 40th tool, I stopped collecting information about them to my knowledge base...

I saw some of them claiming they are differentiating themselves by being the better “communicator to the API of GPT-3”.

What does that mean? Is it an actual point of differentiation?

API is short for an application programming interface.

Sounds complex, but do you remember how the big oracles in movies always had a gatekeeper talking for them?

The API is such a thing for computers.

All these AI copywriting companies are making a pilgrimage to the gatekeeper of GPT-3 to send their user’s desire and receive an answer to it.

Back to the point of being the best communicator to the gatekeeper API of GPT-3.

While communication is crucial, it doesn’t effect the process of the oracle when creating.

Only OpenAI can improve the artificial intelligence creating for you.

However, GPT-3 is not the only oracle on the block anymore.

With the increased interest, there is a variety of different oracles available and at TextCortex it is our daily bread to train them on our own data to achieve their best for their respective purpose.

4 things to be careful with when using GPT-3 writing tools

As I said we have seen those AI copywriting tools pop up like mushrooms on a rainy forest floor.

Most of them with the single motivation - make quick money.

That becomes a problem, when you are regarding the stability of the company behind the software.

We made some estimations and taking an example in our power users, their operations would cost around 100 USD per month for a single user.

My condolences to the ones who have started lifetime deals only to realise that GPT-3 doesn’t come for free.

Sad for the customers who bought those to now stand in front of the shut door with software that is not answering back.

Also, large AI companion companies like Replika AI with their 7 million users have moved away from GPT-3 because of the limitation of not being able to influence quality while simultaneously paying a high operational cost for the sake of being locked in dependencies.

1. Don’t jump on the cheapest (lifetime) deal

As with many things in life buying cheap is expensive.

So are lifetime deals.

I have seen many users reach out to us because at one point the software they used to work with either shut down customer support or in itself wasn’t working anymore because it had a fundamental operational flaw.

Be Careful... with paying the quick buck to somebody with dollar signs in their eyes.

2. Don’t fall for the # of templates trick

Many advertised templates are mere placeholders in order to get an idea of what you might be interested in.

This is a common complaint we observe. A bad “instruction to creation relevancy” or an ever-repeating creation pattern.

We actively ask our users in close conversation within our communities what they want.

When we see enough interest in a format, we dig deep, we gather data, we train our own AI transformer models and offer our communities something sustainable.

3. When everybody uses the same it can hurt your rankings

ai-generated-content-google

As we are speaking, all these rule-based software which claim to be AI but ultimately just push and spin your inputs through a cookie-cutter process are getting hit.

Even though modern AI technologies like GPT-3 feel incredibly creative and natural, it gives you a sense of security assuming detecting their creations would be a challenge.

However, if too many people are using a single pattern to create it can be reverse engineered.

We see providers running GPT-3 offering you to write 10.000 Blog articles per month.

Those bad actors will just spiral out more trace to come up with a solution.

Currently, we think that a relevancy through content (RTC) metric might be leveraged to detect usage of AI generated content.

Let me give you a comparable situation in the market for mobile phones.

3 writing tools

If you were to offer a service, build an app or attack a system for which one would you go?

Apple’s iOS with apx. 27.5% or Androids 71% global mobile operating system share?

So think about what Google’s first target will be when tackling AI-generated content.

It will come to your advantage to use purpose-driven models which are experts in their field.

Next to it you should look for as much customisability as possible. We for example offer you to leverage different creativity engines.

4. Instability when the infrastructure updates

Those large language models are developing continuously.

Any update and training the underlying infrastructure effects the output of the text quality.

As most AI copywriting tools are reliant and dependent on the many variations of GPT-3 a change in their infrastructure disrupts the quality.

It takes time until they have found “their communication to the oracle again”. ;)

Why GPT-3 is only the beginning of natural language generation and how we do things differently at TextCortex

I was spoiling it quite a few times now already and you can guess my answer to whether we achieved the Olymp of natural language generation with GPT-3?

It’s a no, we haven’t.

With no hesitation, I say it again GPT-3 was the bold step that made waves calling individuals, academics, businesses, and governments to the field.

Nonetheless, it is the beginning of a new era. Currently we see an arms race in creating AIs with ever more parameters, ever-bigger brains.

AI-gpt-3-future

Coming back to my transformers (the movie) narrative Microsofts Megatron-Turing model.

A model with a brain 3x the size of GPT-3.

Using its 530 bn. parameters to write a description for your product or your blog article is like building a coal power plant for the only purpose of charging your smartphone.

It doesn't stop there.

Rumours emerged that GPT-4 will be in the trillion parameters.

Google announced to have achieved a model in the trillions already.

The Chinese Wu Dao model is there as well.

Does that mean they are 10x better than GPT-3?

Does greater parameter size come with better creation?

Does great power come with great responsibilities?

One thing is sure: with great parameter sizes certainly comes great power consumption.

Building, training, and operating such large language models are a disaster for the environment.

Remember how I talked about “pre-trained” models earlier? It doesn’t help to create a brain that outsizes the amount it can learn from. The smartest toddler is limited to learning what it can observe from its environments.

robot-and-human-learning-from-book

We have huge respect for the OGs of the NLG space from OpenAI to DeepMind to EleutherAI to AI21 Labs.

All pouring massive efforts and resources into bringing humanity a step forward.

We are looking to join them in their quest and despise those who are thirsting the quick buck from the merits of their work.

At TextCortex we like to do the hard work.

Because no lasting and competitive value is built by taking the shortcut when it regards your very core.

The quality of creation.

And while GPT-3 is a generalist, a true jack of all trades, it is already immense in size for the use case of AI copywriting.

Like humanity has gone from generalisation to specialisation to develop and arrive where we are today.

This will come to natural language generation as well.

That’s why at TextCortex we are not developing a one size fits all model. We build small purpose-driven models establishing and orchestrating a network.

Because a “ one size fits all ", simply doesn’t fit all.

Instead of one massive trillion parameter AI model we build a network of 100s and 1000s of models which serve you as an expert AI writing companion.

We are training, building, testing, developing, experimenting and deploying our own AI models on our own carefully selected knowledge and data.  

Teaching them to become specialists in a world of generalists.

Instead of offering 100s of pre-writing templates which often miss the relevance to your needs we are releasing templates that we specifically explored, gathered knowledge, and trained our AIs to master.

Choose the proper AI writing tool for yourself

It is a simple question of what would you prefer?

A professional with one year of experience or one with 10 years of deep knowledge in the field you need?

man-training-in-shape-and-skinny-man

Does a lawyer who should write reliable contracts also needs to know how to write the most engaging blogs about chocolate chip muffin recipes?

With our smaller purpose-driven AI models methodology, we can teach them why, how and what certain formats and writing styles look like.

For example our long-form model was trained on more than 10 million highly engaging blogs.

numbers-of-engaging-blogs

They understand that long-form content consists of an engaging intro to an informative main part with a conclusion bringing everything to a point.

Adapting AI models to our user needs is our daily bread.

Every day we strive for enlarging this network of AI experts and we bring them into every text box you need them to be.

We Tested 5 GPT-3 Tools For Content Writing (2023 Updated)

Image of Aditya Singh Rajput, Content Writer

Table of contents

The evolution of AI-enabled content marketing and SEO tools is a prime example of how technology is changing the marketing landscape. 

One of the most significant developments in this arena is the advent of GPT 3 AI writers. These cutting-edge language models create high-quality content in a matter of seconds. From the initial auto-correct in Microsoft Word to generating entire blogs, we have come a long way.

But which one should you use?

With so many options available on the market, it can be challenging to find the best and most cost-effective one for your marketing activities. 

This blog post will break down the strengths, weaknesses, and overall usefulness of the top 5 GPT-3-powered AI-writers that are currently available so that you can make an informed choice.

How GPT 3 works? 

OpenAI made a language model called GPT-3, which stands for ‘Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3.’ It is based on neural networks. It uses a deep learning technique called ‘unsupervised learning’ to generate human-like text.

The model is trained on a massive dataset of text, which allows it to learn patterns and relationships between words and phrases. During training, the model is shown a lot of small pieces of text and told to guess what the next word will be.

Once the model is trained,  the GPT-3 AI text generator can be used for a variety of natural language processing tasks, such as text completion, translation, and summarization. When a prompt is given, GPT-3 creates text by taking a sample from the probability distribution of the next word in the sequence, i.e., what the model says will happen.

The GPT-3 model is one of the biggest natural language processing models because it has 175 billion parameters that help the AI create insightful and engaging content that sounds like it was written by a person based on the user’s inputs.

Benefits of using AI and GPT-3 tools for content writing?

There are several benefits to using AI and GPT-3 writing tools for content writing in the business world:

  • Efficiency: AI-powered writing tools can generate high-quality content quickly, which can save time and resources for businesses.
  • Consistency: AI-powered writing tools can ensure that all content produced by a business is consistent in tone, style, and messaging.
  • Scaling: GPT-3 can handle a large amount of content generation and can scale with the growing needs of a business.
  • Personalization: GPT 3 writers can generate personalized content for different audiences, which can help to increase engagement and conversions.
  • Cost-effective: AI-powered writing tools can help to reduce the costs associated with content creation and editing by automating many tedious tasks.
  • Multi-language support: GPT-3 has the ability to generate text in multiple languages, which can help companies to reach a global audience.
  • Versatility: GPT-3 can be used for a wide range of natural language processing tasks, such as text completion, summarization, and translation, which can help businesses to improve their communication and marketing efforts.

GPT-3 tools help every user create content at scale without worrying about the quality of that content. These are helpful for marketers who are trying to build a brand in a world that is getting more and more competitive. 

Now that you understand the benefits of using a GPT-3 tool, let’s take a look at some of the best GPT-3 tools out there. 

We tested the top 5 GPT 3 tools, and here is what we found 

During our tests, we tried to focus on the quality of the GPT 3 writing produced and the ease of using the platform.

Scalenut AI writer 

The Scalenut AI Writer is a content generator powered by GPT-3 that can  produce content that is both insightful and interesting. With its exhaustive SEO features and AI-content templates, users get a streamlined workflow for researching, structuring content briefs, and generating content. 

Who is it for? 

  • Content writers

Type of content it can write: 

You can create a variety of content with Scalenut. The AI writer has more than 40 AI copywriting templates that can be used to generate high-quality content for things like social media posts, video scripts, meta descriptions, and captions. 

You can also create long-form content such as ebooks and blogs with the help of features like Cruise Mode article writer and the SEO Editor. All you have to do is provide a few basic inputs, and the Scalenut AI writer will produce high-quality content for you. 

Sample content: 

Let’s take an example of creating a sales email for a promotional offer. To do this, head over to the ‘Templates’ section of the Scalenut AI Copywriter and click on the ‘Sales Email Generator’ template. 

Once you do that, Scalenut will ask you to share some basic details, such as the brand name, a short description of the company, and the context of the email. 

After that, all you have to do is click on ‘Generate,’ and the AI will produce a few sales email templates for you to use. 

Here is a screenshot of the output for a sales email from ABC Corp, an IT development firm that is rolling out a "New Year's" offer that gives businesses a free consultation on their IT development needs.

3 writing tools

Pros and Cons: 

Let’s take a look at some pros and cons of using Scalenut as an AI writer. 

Pros of using Scalenut AI Writer:

  • The platform has over 40+ copywriting templates that help marketers create highly targeted content for the most common use cases, such as meta descriptions, social media posts, and emails.
  • The AI writer uses a combination of many advanced language generation models in addition to GPT-3, making the outputs better than many other options. 
  • Users can conduct in-depth competitive research with the help of Scalenut SEO Docs, which analyzes the top-ranking web pages for any given keyword. 

Cons of using Scalenut AI Writer

  • Since the platform gives greater control over the GPT-3 output, things like giving context may seem a stretch but are necessary for generating good quality content. 

Our final take:

Scalenut is a great choice if you want to develop high-quality SEO content for your website, keep a strong social media presence with short-form content, or boost your content marketing outreach campaigns. 

Copy.ai is another GPT-3 writer for creating content with AI. It can be used to create marketing blogs, articles, online advertisements, and more. Additionally, it works with posting on social media. It can be used to automate ads on social media sites like Facebook, LinkedIn, and Google.

Additionally, Copy.ai can assist business owners in coming up with fresh concepts. Copy.ai will automatically come up with new ideas for the same product if the user just gives it a short description.

Who is it for?

  • Social media managers

Copy.ai supports a wide range of writing tasks, including the creation of LinkedIn ad copy and meta descriptions for blog posts and web pages. Product descriptions, Instagram captions, blog ideas, blog introductions, and value propositions are the most common ways that people use the platform.

Sample Content:

CopyAI created this sales email to promote a "New Year's" offer for IT development company ABC Corp, giving customers a chance to receive a free consultation regarding their specific IT requirements. 

3 writing tools

Pros of CopyAI:

  • Copy.ai's design team clearly cares about the user experience, as evidenced by the user onboarding tour and the user-friendly user interface.
  • The designers' realistic expectations regarding the capacity of the AI to produce high-quality outputs are another thing we admire; they assert that the more context you can give the AI—such as user role, industry, and target audience—the better the outputs the AI produces.

Cons of CopyAI:

  • The pricing plans are a little on the costlier side, which makes it difficult for many marketers to use this tool.

Our final take: 

If you are looking for an AI writing tool for short-form content, CopyAI could be an ideal choice. However, if you are looking for a variety of content, you may be better off selecting a more advanced tool. 

Writesonic 

Writesonic is a GPT-3 writing tool for copywriting. It can create quality content for social media and websites. Users can create ads, blogs, listicles, article summaries, and YouTube titles on Writesonic. Users can choose from Writesonic's pre-designed templates. It saves time in creating marketing themes.

  • Content marketers
  • Enterprise marketing teams

Marketers, sales professionals, content developers, authors, and even social media influencers can use Writesonic to quickly create interesting material. With Writesonic's pre-made templates, smart features, and easy-to-use interface, the process of making content can be automated.

When we tried creating an outreach email for an IT development firm called ABC Corp promoting their “New Year” offer, this is what the tool produced. 

3 writing tools

Pros of Writesonic:

  • Writing content with Writesonic is simple; it takes you through each step.
  • For each copywriting task, the app produces as many as five different versions of the text so that you may choose one.

Cons of Writesonic:

  • The pricing plans are word-based, which does not account for the outputs that you do not use; this makes it difficult to justify the pricing. 
  • The output at times is limited and average.

Writesonic looks like a promising tool, but as soon as you start using it, you will realize that the per-word pricing is not good. We would recommend using another GPT-3 tool with a better pricing model. 

Rytr is an AI writing tool that helps you produce content more quickly. Rytr is built on OpenAI's GPT-3 API, which is an open-source machine learning project like most of its competitors. You simply provide instructions, and Rytr begins developing material based on them.

  • Freelancers

With Rytr, it's easy to make responses for automated chatbots, customer reviews, emails, and customer support questions. This streamlines your customer service process. The platform comes with an easy-to-use plugin that can be added to Shopify and WordPress. This makes it easy for users to access and use. Rytr also features an API that allows for seamless integration into your existing applications and workflows, offering a cohesive and streamlined experience. 

Here is an example of a sales email produced by Rytr for ABC Corp, an IT development company, advertising a "New Year's" offer for a free consultation regarding the recipient's specific IT requirements.

3 writing tools

Pros of Rytr:

  • Rytr's user interface appears to be extremely modern and well-organized. On both online and mobile platforms, it appears clean and welcoming.
  • Rytr is an easy-to-use application for beginners that isn't crammed with lots of functionality that will overwhelm users.
  • The best feature of Rytr is its multilingual support. As of now, you can create content in 29 languages.

Cons of Rytr:

  • Rytr should have an option for inputting target keywords when generating SEO information. The SEO metadata should be created based on the desired term. Though not a major issue, the input option would have greatly aided in fine-tuning the material.
  • Like the AIDA framework, it does not necessarily include all of the inputs that we have provided for a use case. Changing the tone can also drastically alter the material, making it irrelevant to the topic.

The tool is easy to use and gets an A, but sometimes the AI results are just average. In our testing, we found that Rytr is ideal for freelancers. But if you are a marketer looking to scale your content marketing with precise brand guidelines, you are better off with another tool. 

Copysmith is a great tool for e-commerce teams that want to write content like product descriptions and landing page copy more quickly.

  • Performance marketers
  • eCommerce startups

Like Copy.ai, Copysmith offers a wide range of content types, such as blog writing, ad copy, brand messaging, and press releases.

The following is a sample of a sales email created by CopySmith for ABC Corp, an IT development company, advertising a "New Year's" offer of a free consultation regarding the recipient's specific IT requirements.

3 writing tools

Pros and Cons:

Here are some advantages of using Copysmith:

  • A wide range of templates is accessible.
  • Templates for well-written landing page copy
  • The interface is extremely user-friendly.
  • There are tutorials accessible for new users.
  • Templates for well-written ad copy
  • Plagiarism detector
  • Copysmith substantially simplifies the copywriting process.

Here are the disadvantages of utilizing Copysmith:

  • The blog post generator generates material, but it is unethical.
  • Not the ideal tool for content creation; only for short-term content requirements.

The output is average, but the tool is intuitive and has many great features. As it didn't ask for email context, the input fields were very limited when creating our sample content. This is a good GPT-3 starter tool, but if you want more content control, try another tool. 

It’s time to start creating content using AI and GPT-3 tools 

In conclusion, the future of the industry lies in the use of AI and GPT-3 tools to make content. Businesses can make it easier and faster to make high-quality content by using the power of new technologies to streamline their content production processes. 

This not only saves time and money but also makes communication with customers and audiences more effective and powerful. The opportunities for creativity and innovation are endless with AI and GPT-3 writers, and it's time for businesses to start embracing these technologies to stay ahead of the curve.

For professional and hobbyist users alike, generative AI tools, such as  ChatGPT , offer advanced capabilities to create decent-quality content from a simple prompt given by the user. 

Keeping up with all the latest AI tools can get confusing, especially as Microsoft added  GPT-4 to Bing  and renamed it to Copilot,  OpenAI added new capabilities to ChatGPT , and Bard got plugged into the Google ecosystem  and rebranded to Gemini.

Also: Microsoft Copilot Pro vs. OpenAI's ChatGPT Plus: Which is worth your $20 a month?

Knowing which of the three most popular AI chatbots is best to write code , generate text , or help build resumes is challenging, so we'll break down the biggest differences so you can choose one that fits your needs. 

Testing ChatGPT vs. Microsoft Copilot vs. Gemini

To help determine which AI chatbot gives more accurate answers, I'm going to use a simple prompt to compare the three: 

"I have 5 oranges today, I ate 3 oranges last week. How many oranges do I have left?"

The answer should be five, as the number of oranges I ate last week doesn't affect the number of oranges I have today, which is what we're asking the three bots. First up, ChatGPT.

You should use ChatGPT if...

1. You want to try the most popular AI chatbot

ChatGPT was created by OpenAI and released for a widespread preview in November 2022. Since then, the AI chatbot quickly gained over 100 million users, with the website alone seeing 1.8 billion visitors a month. It's been at the center of controversies , especially as people uncover its potential to do schoolwork and replace some workers.

 width=

The free version of ChatGPT, which runs on the default GPT-3.5 model, gave the wrong answer to our question.

I've been testing ChatGPT almost daily since its release. Its user interface has remained simple, but minor changes have improved it greatly, like the addition of a copy button, an edit option, Custom Instructions , and easy access to your account. 

Also: How to use ChatGPT

Though ChatGPT has proven itself as a valuable AI tool, it can be prone to misinformation . Like other large language models (LLMs), GPT-3.5 is imperfect, as it is trained on human-created data up to January 2022. It also often fails to comprehend nuances, like it did with our math question example, which it answered incorrectly by saying we have two oranges left when it should be five. 

2. You're willing to pay extra for an upgrade

OpenAI lets users access ChatGPT -- powered by the GPT-3.5 model -- for free with a registered account. But if you're willing to pay for the Plus version, you can access GPT-4 and many more features for $20 per month.

GPT-4 is the largest LLM available for use when compared to all other AI chatbots and is trained with data up to April 2023 and can also access the internet, powered by Microsoft Bing. GPT-4 is said to have over 100 trillion parameters; GPT-3.5 has 175 billion parameters. More parameters essentially mean that the model is trained on more data, which makes it more likely to answer questions accurately and less prone to hallucinations.

 width=

ChatGPT Plus, which runs using the GPT-4 model, did answer the question correctly. 

As an example, you can see the GPT-4 model, available through a ChatGPT Plus subscription , answered the math question correctly, as it understood the full context of the problem from beginning to end.

Also: I tried Microsoft Copilot's new AI image-generating feature, and it solves a real problem

Next up, let's consider Microsoft Copilot (formerly Bing chat) , which is a great way to access GPT-4 for free, as it's integrated into its new Bing format. 

You should use Microsoft Copilot if...

 width=

1. You want more up-to-date information

In contrast to the free version of ChatGPT, which is limited to being an AI tool that generates text in a conversational style with information leading up to early 2022, Copilot can access the internet to deliver more current information, complete with links for sources. 

Also: How to use Copilot (formerly called Bing Chat)

There are other benefits, too. Copilot is powered by GPT-4, OpenAI's LLM, and it's completely free to use. Unfortunately, you are limited to five responses on a single conversation, and can only enter up to 2,000 characters in each prompt. 

 width=

Copilot's Precise conversation style answered the question accurately, though other styles fumbled.

Copilot's user interface isn't as straightforward as that of ChatGPT, but it's easy to navigate. Though Bing Chat can access the internet to give you more up-to-date results compared to ChatGPT, I've found it is more prone to stall at replying and altogether miss prompts than its competitor. 

2. You prefer more visual features

Through a series of upgrades to its platform, Microsoft added visual features to Copilot, formerly Bing Chat. At this point, you can ask Copilot questions like, 'What is a Tasmanian devil?' and get an information card in response, complete with photos, lifespan, diet, and more for a more scannable result that is easier to digest than a wall of text.

When you use Copilot, you can also ask it to create an image for you. Give Copilot the description of what you want the image to look like, and have the chatbot generate four images for you to choose from. 

Also: How to use Image Creator from Microsoft Designer (formerly Bing Image Creator)

Microsoft Copilot also features different conversational styles when you interact with the chatbot, including Creative, Balanced, and Precise, which alter how light or straightforward the interactions are.

Both the Balanced and Creative conversation styles in Microsoft Copilot answered my question inaccurately.

Finally, let's turn to Google's Gemini, formerly known as Bard, which uses a different LLM and has received some considerable upgrades in the past few months.

You should use Gemini if...

1. You want a fast, almost unlimited experience

In my time testing different AI chatbots, I saw  Google Bard catch a lot of flack for different shortcomings . While I'm not going to say they're unjustified, I will say that Google's AI chatbot, now named Gemini, has improved greatly, inside and out.

Also: How to use Gemini (formerly Google Bard): Everything you should know

Gemini is speedy with its answers, which have gotten more accurate over time. It's not faster than ChatGPT Plus, but it can be faster at giving responses than Copilot at times and faster than the free GPT-3.5 version of ChatGPT, though your mileage may vary. 

 width=

Gemini answered accurately, like GPT-4 and Copilot's Precise conversation style.

The previous Bard used to make the same mistake as other bots on my example math problem, by incorrectly using the 5 - 3 = 2 formula, but Gemini, powered by Google's new Gemini Pro, the company's largest and latest LLM. Now, Gemini answers the question accurately.

Also: Apple's new AI model edits photos according to text prompts from users

Gemini is also not limited to a set amount of responses like Microsoft Copilot is. You can have long conversations with Google's Gemini, but Bing is limited to 30 replies in one conversation. Even ChatGPT Plus limits users to 40 messages every three hours. 

2. You want the full Google experience

 width=

Google also incorporated more visual elements into its Gemini platform than those currently available on Copilot. Users can also use Gemini to generate images, can upload photos through an integration with Google Lens , and enjoy Kayak, OpenTable, Instacart, and Wolfram Alpha plugins.

But Gemini is slowly becoming a full Google experience thanks to Extensions folding the wide range of Google applications into Gemini. Gemini users can add extensions for Google Workspace, YouTube, Google Maps, Google Flights, and Google Hotels, giving them a more personalized and extensive experience.

Chatgpt vs. gemini: which gives the better answers.

Gemini is bringing ChatGPT some much needed competition

The rise of generative AI models in the tech industry has been swift and undeniable. The trend started with Microsoft-backed OpenAI's announcement of ChatGPT-3 in late 2022. The introduction of ChatGPT took the world by storm and forced Google to release an early version of its AI model on March 21, 2023. That's how we got Bard, Google's first publicly available chat-based generative model.

ChatGPT and Google Bard received frequent updates throughout 2023 with better availability, language support, and advanced features. OpenAI released its most advanced chatbot version with ChatGPT-4. Bard received its biggest upgrade with Gemini Pro. With the arrival of the Gemini app on Android phones , Google officially rebranded Bard as Gemini .

Considering the fierce competition, a key question comes up. Can Google Gemini keep up with OpenAI? To find out, we compared ChatGPT-4 and Gemini to see how they performed in different tasks.

The evolution of ChatGPT

Following the success of ChatGPT-3, OpenAI released GPT-3.5, a better-trained conversationalist capable of engaging in topics from science and technology to art and literature. But it was the subsequent GPT-4 that revolutionized the game.

Available to subscribers at $20 per month, GPT-4 boasts an impressive processing power with a context window of around 25,000 words, a significant leap from GPT-3.5's 3,000-word limit. This upgrade in GPT-4 allows for a more accurate understanding of contextual prompts and a better handling of lengthier conversations.

Google Gemini

Gemini is both a multimodal large language model (LLM) and the new branding for Google's chatbot formerly known as Bard. As an LLM Gemini is the successor to LaMDA and PaLM2. In December 2023, Bard received its biggest upgrade with Gemini Pro. It was the first sign of Google moving away from Bard with Gemini branding. The search giant expanded it to more than 170 countries, added support for other languages like Japanese and Korean, and integrated closely with other Google apps like Gmail, Docs, and Drive.

What are large language models?

With the launch of Gemini Ultra 1.0, Google officially dropped Bard branding in favor of Gemini and launched it on the Android platform. It is available as a standalone app. For some users, Gemini has replaced Google Assistant.

If you want to try out Google's most powerful AI model, Ultra 1.0, upgrade to the Gemini Advanced plan at $20 monthly. It offers better performance for highly complex tasks, 2TB Google Drive storage, and other benefits from Google One .

Fictional plot summarization

One area where AI could replace human writers faster than expected is simple summarizations and newswire-based journalism. This kind of writing usually shortens and simplifies longer existing texts, which is something that generative AI has become good at. Finance stories about the stock market and that juggle a ton of numbers are written by AI.

We asked ChatGPT-3.5, ChatGPT-4, and Gemini to give us 300-word summaries of Frank Herbert's classic Dune novel.

In this comparison between Gemini and ChatGPT, both models deliver promising results. Bard lagged GPT-4 in our previous comparisons, this time around. However, Gemini is up there with GPT-4 in providing a well-rounded and comprehensive summary. If you're unfamiliar with Dune , read the summaries created by Gemini and GPT-4.

GPT-3.5 offers richer detail, while GPT-4 balances outlining the plot and getting into the deeper themes, giving readers a panoramic view of the story. Gemini's summary presupposes some familiarity with Dune . It overlooks key details like the initial control of the planet Arrakis by the Harkonnens and their eventual reclaiming of it with the emperor's aid.

Purchase recommendations

Many people use Google for purchase recommendations, be it for a new washing machine or a pair of earbuds to wear while working out . Since there's an overwhelming amount of information online about the latest and greatest products, generative AI models should have an easy time giving recommendations. We asked ChatGPT and Bard which new phone you should buy.

In this comparison, the data limitations of GPT-3.5 from 2021 become evident, especially when stacked against GPT-4 and Google Gemini, both of which have web browsing capabilities. Google Gemini offers a detailed list of top phones on the market, including specifications and pricing. GPT-3.5, due to its constraints, provides generalized buying advice. ChatGPT-4 aligns closer to Google Bard by suggesting specific phone models. However, it fails to provide pricing details and detailed specifications.

ChatGPT and Google Gemini stress the importance of individual preferences, budgets, and desired features when making recommendations. In this matchup, Google Gemini takes the lead with its comprehensive list of top phone models, as well as specifications and prices.

Excel formulas

Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets are powerful tools that assist with many tasks, including tracking stock prices , project management using Gantt charts , and analyzing data trends. Many of us only use a fraction of the available features, particularly when it comes to advanced formulas. That's where natural language AIs come in handy. They can recommend which formulas to use to achieve your goal with a given spreadsheet.

In this face-off, ChatGPT-4 and Gemini take the lead. GPT-4 and Gemini efficiently addressed the query. Gemini offered detailed explanations that are user-friendly, even for those unfamiliar with Google Sheets. GPT-3.5, while less detailed, provided essential information complemented by an example.

Tourist travel itineraries.

Planning a trip can be tedious, and finding a good place to start is sometimes difficult. That's where informative travel plan apps and chatbots come in handy. We pitted ChatGPT and Gemini against each other for a two-day weekend trip to New York City.

Based on our analysis of the itineraries, Gemini offered balanced suggestions with relevant web sources and tips at the bottom. However, the chatbot misrepresented the connection between the Statue of Liberty, Liberty Island, and Ellis Island, calling for an unnecessary return to Battery Park. GPT-4 went beyond creating itineraries and offered additional travel tips. In contrast, ChatGPT-3.5 adhered strictly to the itinerary task.

The ChatGPT and Gemini versions presented more balanced days, factoring in meal breaks and suggesting ideal neighborhoods for meals. They highlighted popular attractions and adopted a holistic travel experience, adding logical activity sequences and unique cultural experiences, like Broadway shows.

We tested the same task using Delhi, India, as our next city. Gemini briefly introduced India's capital city and showed relevant places to visit in 48 hours. Google's chatbot also displays relevant pictures with web sources to learn more about the mentioned places. It even suggested additional options if you plan to extend your trip or have more time during your India trip. Tips are at the bottom to make your Delhi visit memorable.

GPT-4 also did a commendable job by dividing the entire trip between South Delhi and Old Delhi. However, it missed out on suggesting Qutub Minar, one of the city's popular attractions. GPT-3.5 also did a solid job of suggesting relevant places to visit on a two-day visit to Delhi. It divided the trip into morning, midday, afternoon, and evening and suggested more places to visit, which are hard to cover in a couple of days.

Bonus: How to find and join a US PhD program

To put Gemini and ChatGPT to work with a more complicated question, we asked them to guide us through the process of enrolling in a PhD program in the US, with the added twist that we didn't study in the US, but that we obtained our master's degree in the EU.

Gemini and ChatGPT-3.5 recognized that we graduated with a degree in the EU, yet neither looked into potential challenges, such as language certificates or visa requirements for non-US citizens. In contrast, GPT-4 explored deeper, addressing the application logistics and post-admission aspects like the visa process and tips for cultural acclimatization. Gemini discusses the research first and then shares tips to strengthen your profile.

When examining ChatGPT's responses, GPT-3.5 highlighted the role of advisors in the PhD process, recommending a research-focused approach to applications. GPT-4 provided a comprehensive view of the admission process, presenting a logical step-by-step guide.

The directness of Bard contrasts with the structured guidance of GPT-4 and the advisor-centric approach of GPT-3.5. Some of the most useful tips are buried at the bottom, which talk about connecting with current PhD students or alums and exploring research opportunities and life in the US.

A word on mobile apps

Google recently released Gemini on Android. The search giant plans to replace Google Assistant with Gemini on Android. Users can swipe up from any bottom corner and use Gemini for their queries. That gives Google's chatbot an advantage over OpenAI's ChatGPT. These generative AI models are trained on user data, and thanks to billions of Android users worldwide, Google is better poised to collect valuable info.

ChatGPT is accessible on Android and iPhone. While these mobile apps get the job done, Gemini feels modern and more intuitive compared to a bland ChatGPT app.

Gemini-Android-App

Generative AI has a lot of potential

Through our tests, ChatGPT-4 and Gemini go neck-to-neck. However, we still give a slight edge to OpenAI's chatbot. ChatGPT-4 makes the $20 per month investment worthwhile. The responses from GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 often provide greater context, and they excel in addressing follow-up queries. They also boast enhanced functionalities, such as crafting spreadsheet formulas. Neither solution is 100% accurate. For the time being, fact-check everything that these Generative AI tools suggest.

As for Gemini's paid plan for $20 per month, we would like to see Gemini's integration in Gmail, Docs, and other apps, which is currently missing from the Advanced plan.

Looking ahead, there's no doubt the landscape will change for the better. ChatGPT and Gemini are rapidly progressing, and it's foreseeable that these will become indispensable tools in different professions, along with simplifying numerous everyday tasks we might soon take for granted.

I know many of us are taught from a young age that we aren’t supposed to write in or mark up books, and while I do agree that should be the case with library books (as a librarian, please don’t do it!) or books you borrow from other people, I am a firm believer in marking up books you own — and not just for books you’re studying for school!

While I first learned about the joy of marking up my books when I was an English major, I think annotating books can be beneficial beyond educational or studying purposes! It can be a good way to experience what you read and a way to actively participate in the reading process by expressing yourself creatively.

While it’s true that all you need to get started is a book and a writing utensil, no fancy tools necessary, there are so many great tools to transform your books into colorful spreads of personal notes. And the tools out there aren’t just fluorescent highlighters and plastic tabs from your school days — there are so many kits and beautiful supplies, as well as smart tools like transparent sticky notes and stickers that simulate highlighters without having to actually highlight in a straight line.

OpenAI, Chat GPT creator, unveils Sora to turn writing prompts into videos: What to know

3 writing tools

OpenAI , the creator of Chat GPT , has unveiled Sora , the latest upgrade in generative artificial intelligence . It's a tool that makes short videos from prompts written by users.

The San Francisco-based company announced the news on Thursday and showed videos created by the new text-to-video generator on their website .

"We’re teaching AI to understand and simulate the physical world in motion with the goal of training models that help people solve problems that require real-world interaction," states OpenAI's website.

Footage of California during the gold rush, tiny pandas running around a petri dish and a gnome creating patterns in the zen garden of his snow globe enclosure are just some of the examples of what Sora , OpenAI's video creation tool, can make.

"We’re sharing our research progress early to start working with and getting feedback from people outside of OpenAI and to give the public a sense of what AI capabilities are on the horizon," states OpenAI on its website.

In an announcement tweeted by Sam Altman, OpenAI's CEO, he said a limited number of people will be able to use the new program right now. It's not publicly available just yet.

"We are starting red-teaming and offering access to a limited number of creators," said Altman in the post.

YouTube star puts Sora, new OpenAI tool, to the test

YouTube's biggest star, Jimmy Donaldson, AKA, MrBeast , replied to Altman's post the two engaged in some playful banter about the new tool.

To that, Altman said he'd make the YouTuber a video. He just needed to give Altman a prompt.

Donaldson asked for a video of a "monkey playing chess in a park," and Altman delivered .

How do I use Sora?

According to the announcement posted to OpenAI's website, Sora is going to be similar to OpenAI's text-to-image generator. Users just need to type out a prompt, and the program will give them a video of what they requested.

However, it can only be accessed by red teamers who will assess "critical areas for harms or risks" for the company and "a number of visual artists, designers, and filmmakers to gain feedback on how to advance the model to be most helpful for creative professionals."

It isn't available to the public, and there is no word on when the layman will be able to use it.

What can Sora do?

The program uses its "deep understanding of language" to interpret prompts and then create videos with "complex scenes" that are up to a minute long, with multiple characters and camera shots, as well as specific types of motion and accurate details.

The examples OpenAI gives range from animated a monster and kangaroo to realistic videos of people, like a woman walking down a street in Tokyo or a cinematic movie trailer of a spaceman on a salt desert.

Embedded content: https://cdn.openai.com/sora/videos/monster-with-melting-candle.mp4

"Animated scene features a close-up of a short fluffy monster kneeling beside a melting red candle," in the first sentence of the prompt that created the 3D video above.

According to OpenAI, the videos displayed on its announcement page were all created by Sora.

Challenges that Sora faces

OpenAI states the program may struggle with the following:

  • Accurately simulating the physics of a complex scene
  • Understanding instances of cause and effect. An example it gives is someone might bite into a cookie, but the cookie doesn't have a bite mark after.
  • Confusing spatial details of a prompt, like mixing up left and right.
  • Precise descriptions of events over time.

Embedded content: https://cdn.openai.com/sora/videos/grandma-birthday.mp4

One of the examples of what can go wrong is a video of a grandma blowing candles out on her birthday. But as she blows them out, the candles don't extinguish.

Prompt given for the video :

A grandmother with neatly combed grey hair stands behind a colorful birthday cake with numerous candles at a wood dining room table, expression is one of pure joy and happiness, with a happy glow in her eye. She leans forward and blows out the candles with a gentle puff, the cake has pink frosting and sprinkles and the candles cease to flicker, the grandmother wears a light blue blouse adorned with floral patterns, several happy friends and family sitting at the table can be seen celebrating, out of focus. The scene is beautifully captured, cinematic, showing a 3/4 view of the grandmother and the dining room. Warm color tones and soft lighting enhance the mood.

What's wrong with it? Well, according to OpenAI, "simulating complex interactions between objects and multiple characters is often challenging for the model, sometimes resulting in humorous generations."

Ethical and societal implications of AI

Folks have been bringing up the ethics behind AI since the program became popular. Situations involving high-ranking officials, like when AI mimicked the president in phone calls and encouraged people not to vote, have already happened.

But OpenAI says they're working on taking safety steps before Sora becomes available to the public.

“We are working with red teamers  —  domain experts in areas like misinformation, hateful content, and bias  —  who will be adversarially testing the model,” the company said in its statement. “We’re also building tools to help detect misleading content, such as a detection classifier that can tell when a video was generated by Sora.”

It says it's creating new techniques while also making sure existing safety precautions that already apply to its other program, DALL·E 3, are applicable to Sora.

For example, "our text classifier will check and reject text input prompts that are in violation of our usage policies, like those that request extreme violence, sexual content, hateful imagery, celebrity likeness or the IP of others," states the company. "We’ve also developed robust image classifiers that are used to review the frames of every video generated to help ensure that it adheres to our usage policies, before it’s shown to the user."
