New course coming September 2026
We train writers to reliably cut their drafting process by 50%. Our new Think, Write, Edit + AI module shows writers how to integrate AI into that process. This creates more thoughtful, precise documents and often cuts even more time.
This training walks you through a step-by-step workflow to:
clarify your audience and purpose and how best to serve them
discover gaps in your thinking
analyze issues more deeply
create a strong, readable structure
write more quickly and clearly
assess and perfect the tone
edit and proofread thoroughly and quickly
We also cover where to avoid using AI and rely on your own judgment and expertise instead. This guidance prevents AI from creating confusing text, wasted time, and hallucinations.
Wordsmith’s AI apps (in testing)
We have a bank of over 45 years worth of before-and-after content from clients in every industry. This means we’re uniquely equipped to train AI in what quality writing looks like.
We’re busy testing and developing a few AI apps that—if they work as we intend them to—our clients will be able to use to transform the quality of their documents and review process.
