What is Lex?
Lex is an AI-augmented word processor for web-based writing and collaboration. It functions as a minimalist document editor integrated with selectable AI models, which can be accessed programmatically via a simple Developer API. The system addresses draft refinement and idea generation with features like "AI Feedback" for critiques, "Versions" for saving iterations, and direct integration with the Kit (formerly ConvertKit) newsletter platform. Users can also build and save custom instructions using the "Prompts" and "Prompt Builder" functions to streamline specific writing tasks, while "Knowledge Bases" give the AI persistent background context. The platform is built for marketing teams and content creators managing recurring campaigns. Its daily application involves using dedicated templates to produce long-form articles or social copy while maintaining a consistent brand voice via the "Style Guides" feature. Writers utilize the built-in readability scoring and real-time keyword density optimization tools to refine content before sharing collaborative links for team review. While it accelerates drafting, generated technical arguments and numerical claims require manual human verification for factual accuracy before publishing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the benefit of upgrading?

Access to the biggest and best AI models (like GPT 4.1 and Claude 4 Opus & Sonnet). These make a surprisingly large impact on quality. Early access to new features, priority support via email.

Is Lex secure and private?

Yes! All data is privately and securely hosted on our own database. We have strict policies about when our team can access it and will always ask for permission.

Is my writing being used to train the AI?

No. Lex uses models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and TogetherAI through enterprise APIs. Lex is not training language models and has no immediate plans to do so. If we ever do, we will inform you via email and allow you to opt out.

Can I use Lex with my team?

Yes! It is totally free to share and collaborate on Lex documents. If you’re planning on doing a ton of work collaborating, you might consider adding Lex Teams to your subscription, which enables unlimited group use of Lex folders.

Are 'premium AI models' really that much better?

Yes! The difference between free and premium models is drastic. Advantages include higher intelligence and reasoning, better responsiveness to detailed instructions, and improved handling of large quantities of information. Lex lets you easily plug the latest best-in-class LLMs into your workflow.

What kind of writing is Lex designed for?

Anything that goes through an edit process that you want to make really good. For example, academic papers, customer-facing copy, emails that really matter, fiction writing that needs a second pair of eyes.

Do you offer refunds?
