What is TypeAI?
TypeAI is an AI writing assistant delivered as a browser extension, allowing users to generate and edit text directly within any website — Gmail, LinkedIn, Twitter, Google Docs and more — without copying content between tools. Highlight text or click the TypeAI icon within any text field to generate content, rewrite, summarise or adjust tone.
The browser-extension approach differentiates TypeAI from standalone AI writing tools that require switching tabs or copy-pasting. For users who write across many different platforms throughout the day, having AI assistance available wherever they're typing reduces friction compared to a separate writing tool.
