Popular AI Tools for Writers
Let’s check out some of the top tools that are must-try for every writer:
ChatGPT / Gemini
They both are considered best for idea generation and drafting. However, one should always remember to use such tools wisely and not misuse them.

Grammarly is one of the most common and famous tools among writers across the globe. The reason is the ability of this tool to detect grammatical mistakes along with punctuation errors, ensuring the content is free from all mistakes.
Quillbot
Another one is Quilbot, which, unlike Chat GPT and Gemini, is not an AI tool specifically, however, it has its uniqueness. Besides checking the grammar of the content, it also has other options like paraphrasing in different styles (some are free), AI detection, translation, and many more.
Claude AI
Claude AI is a tool with a lot of similarities to other tools like ChatGPT. However, a few things that make it different from the Open AI tool include different writing styles and, most importantly, being more creative than other AI tools.
