Introduction

AI Editor uses latest machine learning algorithms to help you write. Try to type anything in it. It can intelligently predict what you want to write next. If you have spelling problems, you will appreciate the suggestions generated. It understands what you are trying to express and gives word suggestions that are both meaningful, and grammatically correct.

You can also choose not to type, but simply select words in the list that fit. AI Editor comes with machine learning model that only supports English for now.

Give it a try, and send us feedback and suggestions.

Technology

Natural Language Processing, NLP

Recently, machine learning has achieved impressive breakthroughs in NLP on multiple fronts. AI Editor is based on GPT-2 model by OpenAI. GPT-2 generates coherent paragraphs of text, achieves state-of-the-art performance on many language modeling benchmarks. With the help of this model, writer can have immediate hints of what words would be appropriate.

Electron and VSCode

VSCode is an open source editor developed by Microsoft for Windows, Linux and macOS. It is powerful and loved by many software developers. Authors and technology writers can benefit from it too. AI Editor is a customized version of VSCode that focuses on creative writing.

Limitations

For every key stroke, Numathic Write and eWriter search through hundreds of thousands word entries to find suggestions. They both use optimized algorithm specifically designed for such purpose. So, the suggestions pop up really fast. However, the amount of compute needed for machine learning inference is multiple orders of magnitude larger. Newer Mac should be able to run AI Editor relative fine, although not as snappy as the other two tools. Mac computers with weaker CPU might take longer to prepare next word suggestions. We are active working on exploring the possibility of GPU inference on Mac.
