We hold these truths to be sacred and undeniable, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

Suggested edit

Two modes. One voice.

Socratic Mode

Highlight text, press a hotkey, and discuss it. Ask questions like "Is this too formal?" or "Make this more concrete." Have a conversation, then apply the refined version.

⌘ + ⇧ + S

Didactic Mode

Highlight text, press a hotkey, and tell Ada what you want. Speak the replacement directly. Ada transcribes, cleans up filler words, and shows a diff.

⌘ + ⇧ + D

Local & Private

Speech recognition runs entirely on your Mac. Your drafts never leave your machine. Only the text you're actively editing is sent to the AI for suggestions.

Comment Threads

Create multiple annotations on different passages. Each becomes a persistent conversation thread in the margin, just like comments in Google Docs, but voice-first.

How it works

1

Select text

Highlight the passage you want to edit or discuss.

2

Press & speak

Hold the hotkey and speak your question or replacement text.

3

Review & apply

See the suggested edit, accept or reject, and keep writing.

Your voice, amplified

Point Ada to your style guide. It learns your tone—direct, warm, technical, whatever—and keeps your writing consistent.

Multiple threads, one document

Work on different passages simultaneously. Each annotation becomes its own conversation—come back to any of them later.

The shift to remote work has fundamentally changed how teams collaborate. Companies report significant productivity gains while employees enjoy better work-life balance.

However, maintaining company culture remains a challenge. Leaders must find new ways to foster connection and shared purpose.

Collaborative Agents

A second set of eyes. Always.

You know that feeling when you're too close to your own writing? Create agents that watch as you type and flag what you tend to miss. Their suggestions appear in the margin—accept, dismiss, or talk it through.

Style Guide GLOBAL

Our Q3 results demonstrate a significant improvement over the previous quarter. Revenue increased by 23% while operating costs decreased.

The marketing team's new strategy contributed to higher engagement across all channels. Customer acquisition cost dropped by 15%.

Agents run in the background while you write. When they spot something, a note appears in the margin. You decide what to do with it.

Catch your blind spots

Arguments that need support. Transitions that don't land. The stuff you stop seeing after the third read.

Stay consistent

Your tone drifts. Your style guide gathers dust. An agent remembers what you forget.

Write your own rules

Tell Ada what to watch for in plain English. "Flag jargon." "Question unsupported claims." It's your agent.
