Everyone writes, whether it’s a blog post, book, social media caption or a quick text.
That doesn’t mean it’s easy. Even after years of writing, I still struggle to put words on a page at times, whether it’s because I can’t find the right words to use or I’m having trouble coming up with a structure for a piece I’m working on. Then after hours of writing, it’s difficult to switch my brain from ‘writing mode’ to ‘editing mode’ (or editing as I write, which wastes a lot of time).
You can spend hours thinking of what you want to say, then developing your voice and expressing yourself clearly. What if you want to take a blog post and turn it into a video script or LinkedIn post? You have to start from scratch every time.
AI helps give you your time back. Whether it’s tools to check your grammar, spelling, and tone, or templates that write all of your content for you from scratch, AI writing tools can save you time and budget so you can focus on the creative part of writing. Here are the best AI websites we’ve tried for all kinds of writing.
22. ChatGPT
If you haven’t used ChatGPT before, it’s the most popular large language model (LLM) chatbot. It understands natural questions and can generate all kinds of written content including tables of data and even code. GPT-3.5 is free for everyone, but paid subscriptions give you access to GPT 4 with a higher level of language understanding and priority access.

29. Notion AI
If you already use Notion to organize your life, Notion AI can take it one step further. Use the AI writing tool in any new or existing page.

You can even ask it to check grammar or summarize the important points.

23. Wordtune
Use Wordtune to tighten up your writing and find better ways of saying what you mean. It’s a Chrome extension that works anywhere you write online (I use it in Google Docs the most).

If you’re struggling with writer’s block, Wordtune can inspire clearer writing.
