Sudowrite

San Francisco, CA, United States

Overview

Sudowrite is an AI writing tool built on GPT-3 that functions as a collaborative "creative partner," helping writers get unstuck, generate prose, and produce rote industry outputs like screenplay treatments. The product was developed by Amit Gupta with co-founder James Yu and grew initial traction via word of mouth. Prior to publication it had been in closed beta and now offers signups; the company reports roughly 300–400 paying users subscribing at about $20 per month. Sudowrite targets a broad set of use cases from novels and screenplays to newsletters, meditations, parables and roleplaying games, emphasizing inspiration provocation and time savings on repetitive tasks. The recent fundraise allowed the team to hire its first machine‑learning engineer, a developer and a lead designer and to cautiously expand the founding team. The company intends to continue experimenting with product features without the pressure of a traditional VC treadmill.
