Features

AI-First Document Editor

Type.ai is built from the ground up as an AI-native editor — the AI is not a bolt-on assistant but the core of the editor, with inline generation woven into the writing flow.

Inline Generation Within the Document

You can request AI suggestions, rephrase paragraphs, or generate new sections mid-writing without losing keyboard focus or your flow.

Multiple Models to Choose From

Type.ai gives users a choice between different AI models (GPT-4, Claude) for different writing tasks — balancing quality needs and speed.

Templates for Various Writing Formats

Ready-made templates for blog posts, landing pages, emails, social media posts, and reports help you get into the writing flow quickly.

Document Collaboration

Type.ai supports collaborative writing, enabling teams to work on documents together and share AI features across their workflow.

Web Research in the Editor

Type.ai can conduct web research directly within the editor and integrate current information into the text without switching between apps.

In Detail

What Is Type AI?

Type AI is a minimalist document editor where AI suggestions appear directly as so-called "ghost text" within the document. No separate AI panel, no copy-pasting between windows — suggestions appear seamlessly inline and can be accepted with a simple Tab press. Type is built for writers who value distraction-free focus while still benefiting from AI assistance.

Ghost Text: AI Without Interruption

The heart of Type is the ghost text system: as you write, the AI anticipates the next sentence or paragraph and displays it greyed out in the editor. Pressing Tab accepts the suggestion. Continuing to type dismisses it and resumes your own text. This principle is familiar from Copilot in code editors — Type brings it to natural language prose and professional writing. The result: a writing flow that feels more natural than classic "generate and paste" workflows.

Slash Commands for Targeted AI Actions

Beyond passive ghost text, Type offers slash commands for active AI interventions: /rewrite rephrases a selected passage. /expand extends it with more detail. /summarize condenses long passages. /translate translates selected text into another language. Commands appear as a context-sensitive menu and keep the workflow within the editor — no window switching required.

Pricing and Target Audience

Type AI costs $29/month and targets writers, journalists, researchers, and anyone who regularly creates long documents and values a distraction-free editor. There is no free plan — but a free trial is available to try before committing.
