Wordtune

Wordtune platform architecture and generative reading-writing assistant

Wordtune (accessible at wordtune.com, developed by AI21 Labs, founded by Yoav Shoham, Amnon Shashua, and Ori Goshen) is an artificial intelligence reading companion, contextual rewriting assistant, and document productivity workspace. Powered by AI21 Labs’ proprietary Jurassic and Jamba language models, Wordtune helps professionals, students, and non-native English speakers communicate with clarity.

Unlike basic spelling checkers, Wordtune understands semantic context to suggest natural sentence rewrites. Wordtune features Rewrite Modes (Casual, Formal, Shorten, Expand), Wordtune Spices (generating counterarguments, examples, statistical analogies, and historical facts), Wordtune Read (summarizing lengthy PDFs, YouTube videos, and research papers), and cross-platform extensions for Chrome, Edge, and Microsoft Word.

Core writing capabilities and AI21 Spices tools

Wordtune delivers features for contextual rewriting and reading synthesis:

• Contextual sentence rewriting: Rephrase sentences to improve flow, tone, and grammatical elegance without altering original meaning.
• Tone switching & length adjustment: Toggle between Formal and Casual tones or instantly Shorten and Expand sentences.
• Wordtune Spices creative cues: Generate supporting arguments, historical facts, counterpoints, and analogies directly into paragraphs.
• Wordtune Read document summarizer: Summarize long PDFs, web articles, and YouTube videos into structured key takeaway snippets.
• Multilingual translation rewrite: Type in Spanish, French, German, or Hebrew; Wordtune translates and rephrases into fluent English.
• Everywhere extension integration: Works seamlessly inside Gmail, Google Docs, LinkedIn, Slack, Microsoft Word, and browser text fields.
