Purpose-built for the enterprise

For over ten years, WRITER co-founders May Habib and Waseem AlShikh have been hard at work solving complex enterprise problems with cutting-edge technology. In 2013, united by a passion for machine translation, they started their first company together to dynamically localize enterprise content. As they began experimenting with transformers, they saw an enormous opportunity to redefine how people work. In 2020, May and Waseem launched WRITER to bring the power of generative AI to the enterprise. WRITER’s teams have a single goal: to build AI that puts human potential and flourishing at the core. Today, hundreds of the world’s leading enterprises trust WRITER and its family of LLMs to bring together the best of AI and the best of their people.

Our promise

WRITER is building AI that compresses the time between “dream it” and “build it.” This means the barriers to innovation have begun falling away. Now, it’s clear that teams across enterprises can quickly create solutions that generate high-quality insights, answer important questions, and do important work — all in compliance with their company brand, laws, and regulations. With WRITER, organizations aren’t just transforming work to realize massive productivity improvements, democratize information, and accelerate time to market — but people within those organizations are learning more quickly, communicating more clearly, and elevating their own performance.

Starting with May’s and Waseem’s early vision, and now across the entire team at WRITER, our promise is to center people in all that we do, empowering them to create their own solutions, address their unique challenges, and solve problems faster than they ever thought possible. We’re hiring across every role, and if you share our vision of AI helping every human achieve their potential, join us.

Our values

Our success depends on the strength of our relationships. We strive to understand and respect each other on a human level. We listen actively to our customers, partners, and teammates, and we’re intentional about building shared understanding.

We challenge each other to do our best work. We hold each other to the highest bar. We don’t shy away from conflicting points of view, and believe diverse perspectives lead to the best outcomes.

Regardless of role, we’re all owners, which means we think big and bold. We’re not here for tactical solutions or quick band-aids. Sure, we’re action-oriented, but we act with an eye towards what’s best for the long-term.
