OpenAI API PlatformWRITER
Likelihood to Recommend
For smaller organizations that run lean and would like to get to deploy a solution quickly. This is a solution that is easy and quick to develop. It has a good amount of customization. However, for advanced customization this might not be a good solution. I suggest experimenting with OpenAI API and then if the experimentation is successful then it is a good idea to optimize and try other LLM models.

I think Writer is perfect for marketing professionals who need to draft copy about dense topics and subject matter, such as within tech and product companies. It bridges the gap of knowledge between marketer and engineer and saves the former countless minutes to bring what the latter develops to the marketplace

Pros
  • The developer experience is top notch. Their SDKs are super easy to use
  • Organization and project billing separation. You know where everything was consumed.
  • Playground. The playground is super useful to prototype without writing a single line of code

  • Rewrite tool is incredibly helpful; both in the Writer environment and the Google Chrome extension. Not buggy or laggy like other extensions I've tried.
  • Ask Writer allows me to engage with documents in a conversational manner, instead of spending time crafting and sharpening my prompts.
  • Quality responses from Ask Writer. Unlike other GPTs that are riddled with mistakes and hallucinations, I can use Writer confidently without being paranoid about triple-checking my work. I've used Writer for one year now and only found one error in that time.

Cons
  • Restrictions are sometimes too strong

  • i do find the organisation a bit confusing, like the functions available in 'ask Writer' being separate to the main window. there were lots of functions i wasn't able to find intuitively that we needed a support call for
  • asking for a summary of key points doesn't always pick up the main points

Usability
Easy to setup, develop and deploy. The payload for the API is simple and has all the inputs required for simple projects. There are a good number of options of LLM models to optimize for speed, cost or quality of the answers. A larger token input might improve the overall usability.

Anthropic is only the best for coding and its really really expensive. So, if you're not making a coding app, I would stay away from it. On the other hand, Gemini models are dirt cheap but come with a bit of performance limitations, so i would use it for big volume non sofisticated use cases. The OpenAI API platform excels at providing best in class performance models, at not outrageous anthropic-like pricing.

I tried to find the learning platforms on your search bar but nothing returned. It's basically a contest on who can implement our company's training point of view in all of their training assets/workflows. None of the 5 companies can match what WRITER did. This is because we would be needing a blank canvass to paint our vision of what a perfect training looks like; the other platforms may or may not be open to some of the suggestions that we might IMMEDIATELY need; since WRITER is just a regular Full-Stack AI platform and we already pay for it; we did not need to find another solution for this and potentially saved hundred thousand dollars

Return on Investment
  • Big question about functionality
Read full review
  • For its part Writer has built-in drawing tools, facilitating my work on new basic technological creations.
  • It also has a complete equation editor when quantifying any report.
  • But it has a limited group of Fonts and at the same time has a slow processing speed
