Where the market went
The first wave of AI writing tools were template libraries built on GPT-3. Once ChatGPT and Claude could write as well on their own, the best-known names moved somewhere else.
Copy.ai → sales workflows
Repositioned as a go-to-market AI platform for sales and revenue teams, dropped its free writing tier, and was acquired by Fullcast.
Writesonic → GEO
Rebranded as an AI search visibility platform that tracks how brands appear in ChatGPT, Perplexity and AI Overviews.
Grammarly → Superhuman
The company took the Superhuman name and bundled Grammarly with Coda and Superhuman Mail into an AI productivity suite.
