About
AI writing editor built for long-form content — write with GPT-4 autocomplete, generate text on demand, and maintain focus with a distraction-free interface.
In-Depth Review
Lex is a writing tool that integrates AI assistance into a clean, distraction-free editor. It is designed for people who write seriously — essays, articles, newsletters, and books — and want AI help that feels native to the writing process.
## The Writing Experience
The core interface is minimal: a clean editor with no sidebars and no clutter. AI assistance is available when you want it, invisible when you do not.
**AI Autocomplete**: As you write, Lex offers ghost text suggestions — like Gmail Smart Compose but for long-form prose. Press Tab to accept a suggestion, keep typing to ignore it. Suggestions are contextual to your document.
**Generation on Demand**: Hit a keyboard shortcut and Lex generates a continuation based on what you have written. It reads the full document before generating to maintain your voice and direction.
**Rewrite**: Select any passage and ask Lex to rewrite it — more concisely, more formally, more vividly, or in a different voice. Shows original and suggestion side-by-side.
## Document Organization
Documents are synced in the cloud with version history tracking every save. Share documents publicly with a Lex link for feedback without exporting.
## Collaborative Writing
Real-time collaboration lets multiple writers work in the same document simultaneously, with AI features available to all collaborators.
## Who Uses Lex
- Newsletter writers maintaining weekly publishing cadences - Essayists and bloggers who value the writing process - Journalists working on longer pieces - Professionals who write frequent long documents
## What Lex Is Not
Lex is intentionally minimal — not a full content marketing platform. No SEO tools, no keyword research, no publishing integrations. A writing tool first.
## Pricing
Free tier includes limited AI generations. Lex Pro (~$18/month) adds unlimited generations, longer documents, and collaboration.
