Writer
Enterprise AI platform for agentic content and workflow automation
Last reviewed 2026-06-18
Writer is a full-stack enterprise AI platform built around its in-house Palmyra family of large language models, a graph-based RAG knowledge layer, and configurable guardrails. Beyond generating on-brand content, it lets companies build and deploy AI agents that follow business rules and execute multi-step workflows. As of 2026 it ships 100+ prebuilt agents, an agent Skills creator and Playbook builder that let non-technical staff describe a workflow and get a production-ready agent, and event-based triggers that fire agents off signals from Gmail, Gong, Google Calendar, Google Drive, SharePoint, and Slack without manual initiation. Writer targets large, regulated enterprises (its customer base reportedly includes Vanguard, KPMG, Qualcomm, and Intuit) that want self-hosted-grade control, compliance, and a single platform for both content generation and agentic automation rather than a consumer writing tool.

FAQ
Is Writer just an AI writing tool?+
No. It started as enterprise content generation but is now positioned as a full agentic AI platform: it runs its own Palmyra LLMs, a graph-based RAG knowledge layer, guardrails, and tooling to build and trigger custom agents and workflows.
Does Writer act autonomously?+
Its agents perform multi-step work and can be fired by events, but they run inside configured playbooks and guardrails with human review of consequential output, so in practice it operates as a supervised agent.
