AI platform for business process optimization

About Writer

Writer.com provides a platform that uses artificial intelligence to enhance business processes for various clients, including major companies. The platform integrates Large Language Models (LLMs), Natural Language Processing (NLP), and Machine Learning (ML) to tailor AI solutions to a client's specific brand and knowledge. LLMs generate human-like text, NLP helps computers understand human language, and ML enables learning from data. Writer's platform is built on secure, enterprise-grade LLMs called Palmyra, which are designed to be open and transparent, ensuring that client data is never used for training. This allows clients to self-host the models, giving them control and visibility over their data. The platform assists businesses in speeding up processes and generating customized outputs, such as summaries and insights, while adhering to legal and brand guidelines. Writer.com operates on a subscription-based model, where clients pay a recurring fee for access to its features.
