5 ways writers can use AI other than writing

If you are a writer and either don’t want to use AI to do your writing or don’t think anything spit out by a machine will be as good as your own uniquely human writing (and you are right!), there are still ways you can use AI in your writing process.

From generating text to identifying plagiarism, AI is increasingly being used by writers to enhance their productivity and create more engaging content. Think of AI as a helpful writing assistant or an intern who can assist with some of the tasks of writing that don’t necessarily benefit from a perspective or human experience.

Here are five ways you can use AI to improve your writing work:

  1. Brainstorming: One of the most challenging aspects of writing is coming up with new and creative ideas. AI-powered tools like Brainstormer can help writers generate ideas based on specific parameters such as topic, tone and audience. This tool can analyze existing content and generate new ideas that are unique and engaging.

  2. Outlining: Creating an outline is essential before starting a writing project, but it can be time-consuming and tedious. AI-powered tools like Outline Pro can help writers create a detailed outline in a matter of seconds. The tool can analyze the content and generate a comprehensive outline that is organized and easy to follow.

  3. Editing: Editing is a critical part of the writing process, but it can be challenging to identify grammatical errors, typos and inconsistencies. AI-powered tools like Grammarly can help writers to identify and correct mistakes, ensuring that their content is polished and error-free.

  4. Summarizing: Summarizing lengthy content can be a daunting task, but AI-powered tools like SummarizeBot can help writers to create a concise summary in a matter of seconds. The tool can analyze the content and generate a summary that is accurate and easy to understand. This is especially handy for summarizing blogs for social media or for creating podcast summaries you’ll need to publish.

  5. Optimizing: Optimizing content for search engines is critical to ensure that it reaches the right audience. AI-powered tools like MarketMuse can help writers to optimize their content by analyzing the content and providing insights on how to improve it for SEO.

AI-powered tools can be beneficial for writers in many ways, beyond just writing. By leveraging the power of AI, writers can improve their productivity, create engaging content, and reach a wider audience. Whether you're brainstorming new ideas or optimizing your content for search engines, there's an AI-powered tool that can help you achieve your writing goals.
