AI writing with an editorial standard? Yup.
Most AI writing tools race you to a first draft. unwrite gets you to a finished one: written to a real editorial standard, and ready to publish under your name.
One free credit. No card required. Citations checked against their sources.

The productivity machine assumes your problem is discipline. It isn't.

Endless em dashes. The “It’s not just X, it’s also Y” patterned writing. The paragraph that opens broad, lists three parallel examples, and restates itself on the way out. Readers spot these AI tropes in seconds, and so does every editor. Generic assistants write that way because they lack the guidance needed to generate quality, well-defined prose specific to your guidelines. unwrite’s Editorial Engine bans AI phraseology and writing patterns, enforces real structure, and audits every draft, automatically.
The sample on the left was generated by a generic AI assistant. The other is real unwrite output from a short brief about lessons learned running a small business.
Generic AI writing tools
There are many lessons that come with running a one-person business, but one of the most valuable is learning when to say no. In the early days, it’s tempting to accept every client that comes your way. Over time, though, you realize that saying yes to everything means saying no to the work that actually moves the needle. Setting clear boundaries isn’t just good practice — it’s essential for sustainable, long-term growth.
unwrite, created from your tone and materials
Nobody warns you that going solo means becoming your own bottleneck. When I worked in an office, there was always someone else to blame for the delay: a legal review, a manager’s inbox, a queue I wasn’t at the front of. Alone, the delay is just me, and saying “No” is a skill you have to learn… and quickly. Early on, I said yes to work that paid poorly, to timelines that made no sense, and to clients who treated my calendar like a suggestion. Individually, these challenges felt reasonable. But stacked together, they were overwhelming, and my passion for my business started to wane.
Start from a brief, bring an existing draft you already have to improve, or start from scratch... even an entire book, unwrite writes in your voice and cites only what you provide.
Paste one to three paragraphs of your real writing, or reuse a saved profile. unwrite calibrates to your register, cadence, and rhythm, then holds that voice from the first line to the last, even across a full book/ebook.
Tell unwrite what your piece covers, who you are, what you're arguing, and who your audience is. unwrite handles the prompt engineering, so quality doesn't ride on prompt craft.
Long-form drafts section by section against an outline you approve, in the right shape for the format. It cites from sources it can verify and flags what it can't support, and it researches and checks the sources you don't have.
Your draft arrives audited against a fixed editorial standard, the AI tells already stripped. Fix anything in place, undo anything in a click, run a one-click source check, send it for an independent Second read on Pro or Team, then export it clean.
unwrite Teams
Your whole team on one plan, one pool of credits, and one editorial standard. Press releases, thought leadership, contributed articles, and more.

“This closes a gap our communities have felt for years,” said chief executive Rosa Alvarez.
Most tools generate text and hand it over. unwrite runs every draft through a proprietary Editorial Engine, a fixed process refined over years of editorial work that writes to a standard and proves it held. No prompt to wrangle, no rules to learn. On every piece, it:
Editorial Review
3 flags · 6 clean⚑Citations: “studies show” has no source
Fix: cite a verified source, or cut the claim. unwrite can research and verify one for you.
⚑AI phrasing: “not just a trend, it’s a transformation”
Fix: a stock AI construction. State the point directly, once.
Clear the flags, then send it for an independent Second read on Pro that marks what it would cut.
Generic AI only sounds confident. unwrite writes in your voice with you, and validates sources you can see and review.

Yes. The sample above is real output, and the free tier gives you one complete piece written by the same flagship model paying customers use. Read the actual writing, run the audit, export it, then decide. The free version is the real product, not a watered-down demo.
Non-fiction books/ebooks, white papers, and reports; long-form articles and essays; blog posts; email sequences; and conversion web copy. unwrite writes non-fiction, and it tells you before a fiction-shaped brief spends a credit. Each format is handled on its own terms, not one generic template: books/ebooks get chapters plus, on Pro, a Continuity read that re-reads every word and flags where a term, a promise, or the voice drifts; reports get an executive summary written last; web copy is built around page type and funnel stage.
Absolutely! Add your existing draft (from short-form content to an entire multi-chapter book), and unwrite loads it into the editor and runs it through the proprietary Editorial Engine every piece gets, in your voice, marking what reads as AI and what to tighten, so you fix in place rather than rewrite it out from under yourself. Built for anyone who works from existing drafts: a ghostwriter polishing a client's pages, a PR specialist tightening a release, a marketer sharpening a post. Add your own facts, background, or a voice sample alongside it, and only the sources you provide are ever cited.
A piece is one document on one brief, from first draft to finished. A credit is what creating it spends from your monthly balance: short-form costs 1, web copy 2 (every page arrives as two versions to compare), a narrative article 2, a white paper or report 3, a book/ebook 5, because long-form is drafted section by section. Those are the base costs. A piece run well past its usual length, or one where unwrite researches extra sources for you, costs more, and setup shows you what it adds before you generate. Revisions are included: 3 passes a piece on Free, 10 on paid plans. A new document or topic spends a new credit.
It is built not to. unwrite cites from sources it can verify, whether you provide them or it researches and checks them, and flags what it can't support instead of inventing it. No sources of your own? It researches them, checks each citation against the source it came from, and shows you what it found, rated for authority, to approve. The Source check covers up to 200 claims a piece, and tells you when a draft holds more. The facts stay grounded.
You do, completely: your voice samples, your sources, and every word generated. We use your material only to produce your drafts, and we never train models on your work.
Claude from Anthropic powers unwrite, with models chosen per task and wrapped in our proprietary Editorial Engine.
No. unwrite has no model-training pipeline of its own, and it never trains or fine-tunes any model on your writing. The model behind unwrite is Anthropic's Claude, used through Anthropic's commercial API under terms that forbid training on your content: Anthropic's Commercial Terms state that Anthropic may not train models on customer content from the services. Your material is used only to produce your drafts and run the features you invoke.
It is private to your account. What you bring (sources, briefs, voice samples, and drafts) is used only to help you, and is never pooled into a shared model or a shared dataset across customers. One customer's material never informs another customer's output. On a Teams plan, material is shared only inside the one organization that owns the workspace, and only with the roles that organization grants.
Your account and saved work live in a managed Postgres database in a United States region, encrypted at rest, and every connection is served over HTTPS with HSTS. Passwords are stored only as a salted argon2id hash, and sessions live in a secure, HTTP-only cookie. unwrite runs on cloud providers that maintain their own SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certifications; unwrite does not yet hold its own SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification. The full statement is at unwrite.ai/security.
Because a chatbot hands you a draft and a shrug. unwrite hands you a draft in your own voice, with your claims checked against real sources, AI prose stripped, and an editorial audit that tells you what to fix before it ships under your name. Pro adds an independent Second read, and on books a Continuity read that re-reads every word and marks where a term, a promise, or the voice drifts.
Yes. Billing is monthly or annual, and canceling is self-serve from your account. You keep your paid features through the end of the period you've paid for; after that your account drops to the free tier. Your work stays put either way: every piece and its version history remains in your account to open and export, your saved voices stay in your account and follow you to any device you sign in from, and any top-up credits you bought never expire. Only the monthly plan credits stop refreshing.
The next thing you publish can carry your name and stand up to scrutiny. Sourced, in your voice, and checked before it ships.
