Overview

HyperWrite is an AI writing assistant and browser-based AI agent built by OthersideAI, a New York company founded in 2020 by Matt Shumer, Jason Kuperberg and Miles Feldstein. It launched in July 2020 around TypeAhead, an inline autocomplete feature that suggests the rest of a sentence as gray text a user accepts with Tab.

OthersideAI raised a $2.8 million seed round in March 2023 led by Madrona Venture Group, bringing total disclosed funding to roughly $5.4 million, and later drew attention in the AI research community for releasing Reflection 70B, an open-source large language model tuned with a reflection-tuning technique.

The product has grown from a pure autocomplete tool into a fuller AI assistant spanning a web app, a Chrome extension, and an agent mode that can take actions in the browser on a user's behalf.

Key Features

TypeAhead autocomplete and an AI chat assistant work directly inside Gmail, Google Docs, ChatGPT and most other web text fields through HyperWrite's Chrome extension, so users do not need to copy text in and out of a separate app.

Custom Personas let users define a persistent tone, role or writing style the assistant should consistently apply, while a library of hundreds of pre-built AI tools covers specific use cases like SEO blog writing, email responses and academic research.

The AI Personal Assistant, or agent mode, goes beyond text generation: it can autonomously drive the browser through multi-step tasks, such as researching a topic, opening a document and pasting in a summary, without the user performing each step manually.

Pricing

HyperWrite runs on a freemium model. The free tier offers limited AI messages and basic TypeAhead access, while Premium costs $19.99 per month, or $16 per month billed annually, and includes 250 AI messages per month, citations with real-time information, three custom personas and unlimited TypeAheads.

The Ultra tier costs $44.99 per month, or $29 per month billed annually, and removes the AI message cap entirely, expands custom personas to ten, and grants first access to experimental features such as new agent capabilities.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Autocomplete works inline across most web text fields via the Chrome extension, not just inside a dedicated app.
  • Large library of pre-built, task-specific AI tools reduces prompt-writing effort.
  • Agent mode can complete multi-step browser tasks, going beyond pure text generation.
  • Backed by a funded startup with its own model research track record, including Reflection 70B.
  • Free tier lets users try TypeAhead and basic features before committing to a paid plan.

Cons

  • Free tier is limited compared to some paid competitors' free offerings.
  • Message caps on the Premium tier, 250 per month, can be restrictive for heavy users; unlimited usage requires the pricier Ultra plan.
  • Smaller company than category leaders like Grammarly, which may mean fewer enterprise features and integrations.
  • Agent and task-automation features are newer and less proven than the core writing assistant.
  • Pricing is per-individual-seat oriented, without clearly published team or enterprise plans on the main pricing page.
