Wordtune is an AI powered reading and writing companion capable of fixing grammatical errors, understanding context and meaning, suggesting paraphrases or alternative writing tones, and generating written text based on context. [1] [2] [3] It is developed by the Israeli AI company AI21 Labs. [4] [5] [6] [7]

History

Wordtune was released in October 2020 by AI21 Labs. It was released just as the company came out of stealth mode. [8] [9] Wordtune can be used as a standalone editor, or added as an extension for the Chrome browser. Users can use the tool to paraphrase text being composed on services like Gmail, Google Docs, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. [10]

On November 14, 2021, AI21 released Wordtune Read — an AI-powered Chrome extension and standalone app designed to process large amounts of written text from websites, documents, or YouTube videos, and summarize them into short and easily digestible pieces of text. [11]

In January 2023, AI21 released Wordtune Spices — a generative-AI toolkit designed to help writers write faster. [12] Wordtune Spices [13] [14] can generate sentences or whole paragraphs in tune with whatever the user is writing. [15] [16] [17] [18] VentureBeat compared it with AI-powered Grammarly while The New York Times and some other media called Wordtune a rival to ChatGPT. [19] [20]

A chatbot is a software application or web interface that is designed to mimic human conversation through text or voice interactions. Modern chatbots are typically online and use generative artificial intelligence systems that are capable of maintaining a conversation with a user in natural language and simulating the way a human would behave as a conversational partner. Such chatbots often use deep learning and natural language processing, but simpler chatbots have existed for decades.

OpenAI is a U.S. based artificial intelligence (AI) research organization founded in December 2015, researching artificial intelligence with the goal of developing "safe and beneficial" artificial general intelligence, which it defines as "highly autonomous systems that outperform humans at most economically valuable work". As one of the leading organizations of the AI spring, it has developed several large language models, advanced image generation models, and previously, released open-source models. Its release of ChatGPT has been credited with starting the AI spring.

Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3 (GPT-3) is a large language model released by OpenAI in 2020. Like its predecessor, GPT-2, it is a decoder-only transformer model of deep neural network, which supersedes recurrence and convolution-based architectures with a technique known as "attention". This attention mechanism allows the model to selectively focus on segments of input text it predicts to be most relevant. It uses a 2048-tokens-long context, float16 (16-bit) precision, and a hitherto-unprecedented 175 billion parameters, requiring 350GB of storage space as each parameter takes 2 bytes of space, and has demonstrated strong "zero-shot" and "few-shot" learning abilities on many tasks.

Generative pre-trained transformers (GPT) are a type of large language model (LLM) and a prominent framework for generative artificial intelligence. They are artificial neural networks that are used in natural language processing tasks. GPTs are based on the transformer architecture, pre-trained on large data sets of unlabelled text, and able to generate novel human-like content. As of 2023, most LLMs have these characteristics and are sometimes referred to broadly as GPTs.
