The honest brief

Lex

Frontier models inside a focused Google-Docs-style writing surface — pick premium models in the doc, not a sidebar.

  • Clean, distraction-free doc editor
  • Premium model choice (Claude/GPT)
  • Real-time collaboration + versions
  • AI feedback and rewriting inline
  • Web-only
  • Premium models behind Pro tier
  • Narrow long-form focus

Spiral

Goes deeper on voice-matching than generic AI writers — a stylometry-built profile of your prose keeps drafts in your register, not the model's.

  • Stylometry profile of your prose
  • Three parallel drafts to remix
  • Agent access via MCP, CLI, API
  • Built on Every's editorial standards
  • No free tier
  • Prose-focused; not a general assistant
