Selected offerings — the AI products recorded here, not the vendor's full catalogue.

• Writer Platform Sold on its own

  Enterprise platform for building AI applications and agents on Writer's own models.

Inside Writer

• WRITER AI Studio Agent platform Included with the parent

  WRITER's build surface: business teams assemble agents on an interoperable platform while technology teams keep visibility and governance over what ships.

• WRITER Agent AI agent Included with the parent

  An agent that plans and carries out multi-step work across a customer's own data and tools, under enterprise governance controls.

• WRITER Playbooks Application Included with the parent

  Reusable, repeatable workflows in WRITER, so a piece of work done once can be run the same way again.

• WRITER Knowledge Graph Platform Included with the parent

  WRITER's retrieval layer. A specialised LLM reads a customer's own documents, spreadsheets, slides and PDFs and builds a graph of the semantic relationships between them rather than storing vector embeddings, so retrieval can follow multi-hop connections, break a broad question into sub-questions and return specific source citations before WRITER's Palmyra models generate the answer.

• WRITER Enterprise Brain Application

  Universal context layer that grounds AI agents in a company's Agent Memory (captured decisions and preferences) and Company Standards (brand, tone, compliance), listed in WRITER's own top-level product navigation alongside Models, AI Studio, WRITER Agent and WRITER for Slack.
