Writer.com provides a platform that uses artificial intelligence to enhance business processes for various clients, including major companies. The platform integrates Large Language Models (LLMs), Natural Language Processing (NLP), and Machine Learning (ML) to tailor AI solutions to a client's specific brand and knowledge. LLMs generate human-like text, NLP helps computers understand human language, and ML enables learning from data. Writer's platform is built on secure, enterprise-grade LLMs called Palmyra, which are designed to be open and transparent, ensuring that client data is never used for training. This allows clients to self-host the models, giving them control and visibility over their data. The platform assists businesses in speeding up processes and generating customized outputs, such as summaries and insights, while adhering to legal and brand guidelines. Writer.com operates on a subscription-based model, where clients pay a recurring fee for access to its features.

Writer’S New Ai Model Aims To Fix The ‘Sameness Problem’ In Generative Content

Join our daily and weekly newsletters for the latest updates and exclusive content on industry-leading AI coverage. Learn More. Writer, the fast-rising enterprise AI startup recently valued at $1.9 billion, has launched Palmyra Creative, a specialized AI model promising to change how businesses tackle creative tasks. Unlike traditional AI models—often criticized for their rigid, predictable outputs—Palmyra Creative introduces a new approach aimed at fostering originality and breaking free from the sameness that has begun to plague AI-generated content.“All the AI models sound remarkably similar,” said Writer’s chief technology officer Waseem AlShikh in an interview with VentureBeat. “What’s surprising is how quickly humans have learned to spot AI-generated text—not just specialists, but everyone can now identify it almost instantly.”By addressing this “sameness problem,” Writer is positioning itself as a key player in the $1 trillion generative AI market, offering enterprises a tool that combines creativity with domain-specific expertise—a balance that few competitors have managed to achieve.Writer’s Palmyra Creative model shown in a product demo, with customization controls for tailoring AI outputs to different business needs.

Orchestrator Agents: Integration, Human Interaction, And Enterprise Knowledge At The Core

Join our daily and weekly newsletters for the latest updates and exclusive content on industry-leading AI coverage. Learn More. There is no doubt AI agents will continue to be a fast-growing rend in enterprise AI.But as more companies look to deploy agents, they’re also looking for a way to help them make sense of the many actions these autonomous or semi-autonomous, AI guided bots will take, and avoid conflicts. To combat the potential sprawl of different AI agents deployed by users, service providers and enterprises alike have been building another type of AI agent: the orchestrator agent.Enter the orchestrator: these type of agents function as managers of other, more specialized agents, understanding each one’s role and activating each based on the next steps needed to finish a task. Most orchestrator agents, sometimes called meta agents, monitor if an agent succeeded or failed and choose the following agent to trigger to get the desired outcome.Good orchestrator agents exhibit certain features that make these work different from other agents, and for enterprises, elements make them work much better. IntegrationAgentic ecosystems would eventually bring workflows together, even if the task involves talking to an agent outside the current platform. Orchestrator agents need to have robust integrations with other systems

However, there can be pitfalls when building an AI agent workflow. May Habib, co-founder and CEO of full-stack AI platform Writer, said there are four things enterprises should consider when thinking about autonomous AI and the automated workflows that AI agents enable. “If you don’t focus on the capabilities that are right for you to create self-sufficiency, you’ll never get to a generative AI program that is scaling,” Habib said. For Habib, enterprises need to think about these four things when approaching AI workflows that offer value to them:.
