QuillBot provides over 35 million monthly active students, professionals, and educators with free online writing and research tools to help them become more effective, productive, and confident.

QuillBot already has an array of productivity-enhancing tools, and we wish to extend that suite to include an editor that helps any writer have the assistance that professional writers enjoy.

and writers, to create cohesive and innovative design solutions.
