What they are

Wordtune

Wordtune, from AI21 Labs, is an AI rewriting tool that offers multiple alternatives per sentence with tone control, surfacing sharper, more formal, or more casual versions instantly. It is favoured by ESL writers and professionals who want to sound more natural. It deliberately skips grammar checking and chat, so it covers less ground than all-in-one rivals.

Swell AI

Swell AI ingests podcast episodes, YouTube videos, or audio files and generates transcripts, show notes, blog posts, social clips, and newsletters from a single upload. It targets podcasters and video creators who want to repurpose content without hiring a writer. The output quality is solid for first drafts but typically needs editing before publishing. A free tier exists with limited monthly credits.
