Write, then refine.
Use AI commands directly in your document, or explore an idea in chat. Keep writing and editing in one place.
About Type
A writing partner
for your best ideas.
We’re building an AI-first document editor that helps individuals and teams express brilliant ideas.
Our mission
Less friction.
More room to create.
Good writing takes more than a prompt. It takes a person with something to say, and the space to develop, question, and refine it.
Type brings AI into the writing process itself. Familiar documents, precise editing commands, and an integrated chat make it easier to move from a first idea to work that sounds like you.
The writer stays at the heart of the process. AI helps you realize your vision, one thoughtful revision at a time.
Built around the way you write
A better place to do your best work.
Keep your voice.
Bring your expertise and judgment to every draft. The goal is to help you express your ideas, with you guiding the work.
Stay in your flow.
A familiar editor, offline access, and useful keyboard shortcuts make the everyday work of writing feel natural.
