WRITER

A desire to elevate people

For CEO May Habib and CTO Waseem AlShikh, language has always been at the core of what they do. Both grew up in non English-speaking households, and it shaped their belief that the language you were born speaking shouldn’t impact the kind of life you end up leading. If they could help people be more effective communicators, they figured, they could help them unleash their full potential.

Early to generative AI

For over ten years, May and Waseem have been hard at work on complex language problems. In 2013, they started a company that built software to localize content dynamically. It’s in the machine translation world where they first started working with transformers.

In 2020, May and Waseem combined this experience with their knowledge of natural language processing and enterprise customer requirements to start Writer. Writer’s research, applied engineering and AI, and GTM teams have a single goal: to build AI that puts human potential and flourishing at the core.

Today, the Writer platform is the easiest, fastest way for enterprises to build generative AI applications, and Writer has helped over 1 million users adopt AI in their daily work.

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.
