Type is an AI-first document editor that helps you write high-quality content quickly. Rather than writing important content from scratch, you can use Type to instantly generate drafts, rewrite content, and suggest what to write next.

📌Hi, Product Hunt!
Type is an AI-first document editor that helps you write faster (and better).
It's similar to NotionAI, but with a laser focus on a great authoring experience.
Unlike a lot of other AI writing products, Type encourages the human to play a central role in the writing and editing process.
We don't think great writing is a "one-shot" activity you can fully delegate to AI, we think it's something that a human should be deeply involved in!
So we've built a familiar-looking document editor that puts the author front and center. It's infused with helpful AI commands that understand the context of your document.
If you're writing landing page copy, for example, you can just hit cmd+k, select the "Generate content" command, and tell Type to write a call to action. You don't need to say anything more than "a call to action" – Type will pull the relevant context that's already in your document, take an educated guess at what you want, and insert it directly into your doc. It's a big time saver that helps you stay in flow.
We'd love for you to try Type and let us know what you think. It's most useful for longer-form writing, so maybe try to write an announcement blog post for the project you're working on.
Please, please reply with your honest feedback in the comments!
Thanks :)

💡 Bright idea
Type.ai has the best UI/UX of any A.I. text tool I have tested to date. The standout feature being that Type does not require hundreds of templates. Instead you learn to become a "prompt engineer" similar to A.I. image tools and focus on telling Type how to build your document.
Other things I love about Type:
The speed of text generation
It is very quick at generating text, while not restraining your input with multiple specific boxes or character limits.
The folder system
Type.ai has a folder system on the sidebar that easily allows you to work on and save FULL BLOG POSTS, so that you can create your content when the ideas are flowing and easily search up these documents later or take a look in the appropriate folders and sub-folder.
The "transform text" option
This allows me to copy down or type any relevant text right into the document editor, highlight said text, and tell Type exactly what I want to do with it. This really cuts down on having to retype things or copy pasting large articles into a tiny prompt box, where character limits cut off needed info for the prompt.
Mobile responsiveness of the platform
Finally, Type.ai is fully mobile responsive and allows you to install a PWA of the website to the home screen of your mobile device for quick access. You can do EVERYTHING on the mobile version that you can on a desktop, including navigate or add content within the folder system, run the "transform text" option, or format text as needed.
And Type is just getting started!

Chat with YouTubeHello,
Congratulations on your release. I am really excited to try this tool. However I have a technical question. Since you are using AI model and models usually have input size limit and you are using it for documents. So have you tried it on very large documents? how is it's performance on that?
Report
TypeMaker
@_salman we are subject to similar input limits as ChatGPT, so we do have to truncate the context we pull from longer documents. But many of our customers use Type for their longer-form writing. All of the commands still work in-line and they're usually able to generate useful content just based on the portion of the document that's closer to the cursor.

Looks great. Have got access to the platform since a few weeks back but haven’t used it yet. Where does Type fit in the competitive market of AI writing compared to CopyAI, Jasper, and others? Excited to try it out. Congrats on the launch!

TypeMaker
@cederlund thanks, Edward! Most other AI writing products ask users to navigate a large library of templates and seek to turn writing into a "one-shot" task where you give some input and the AI attempts to do 100% of the writing for you.
We're much more excited about building an experience where the human is a more active participant in the writing process, helping to sculpt and refine the writing that both them and our AI produces.
Hopefully, you'll notice a difference when you try out the product. Let me know what you think when you do!

SequoiaGood day everyone ! Congrats on the launch of Type on the Product Hunt! It looks simple and convenient, it all makes sense!
Can I ask two questions?
1. What ideas are you going to implement in the future?
2. How did you come up with this idea?
Report
TypeMaker
@ilyayaroshevichqa thanks for the questions!
1. For now, we only reveal the roadmap to paid customers. If you end up signing up for a plan, please shoot me an email at stew @ type.ai
2. This idea kind of just appeared. I had been trying out other AI writing products and felt like nothing really fit my workflow, so I started to tinker with a more flexible approach to leveraging AI in a document.

BloksLove this: "We don't think great writing is a 'one-shot' activity you can fully delegate to AI."
Honestly, as a writer by trade, it's been pretty hilarious to see people go from "people don't read anymore" to "look at this 1,200 word blog post that ChatGPT wrote in ten seconds, isn't it amazing?!"
Most of the time, it isn't.
It's cool to see other people tackling long-form writing in the space. The suggestions tab seems super handy for people who aren't writers by trade, especially when writing longer blog posts, so what comes out isn't totally homogenous.
I also like the clean design—it looks like a hybrid between Notion and Word but without the fluff.
What does Type have in terms of editing? Are you able to take a piece of long-form content and adapt it to different writing styles (like professional vs. casual, etc.) and reading levels?
Report
TypeMaker
@matthew_ritchie well said, I feel the exact same way. Type can do generic style rewrites pretty well ("professional", "conversational," etc.), but we have a lot of work to do to match the more subtle, nuanced range of styles that writers have.
If you just highlight some text in Type, run the "Transform text" command, and ask Type to rewrite the text in a specific style, you should get a feel of its current range.
And thanks for the kind words!

ViewCoder@stewartfortier Congratulations on launching Type. The ability to generate drafts, rewrite content and suggest what to write next is sure to save time and improve writing quality for users. Great job!
QA: What kind of businesses or individuals could benefit the most from using Type?
Report
TypeMaker
@oe_zheng thank you, Zheng! Type is most useful for anyone who does long-form writing that doesn't fit neatly into a template. A lot of marketers find Type helpful for writing blog posts, for example. But we also have a long tail of other customers: lawyers, operations people, and solo creators.
