iA Writer 7

How can you tell if a text was written by a human being?
With iA Writer 7 you can manually mark ChatGPT’s contributions as AI text. AI text is greyed out. This allows you to separate and control what you borrow and what you type.

We suggest using AI’s ability to replace thinking not for ourselves but for writing in dialogue. Don’t use it as a ghost writer. Because why should anyone bother to read what you didn’t write? Use it as a writing companion.

iA Writer is where all written copy begins, and it also serves as my project management system and PKM. I have over 25 Markdown documents that begin with the word "Mattebox," ranging from to-do lists to marketing copy.
