In many professional environments, writing and editing remain among the most time-intensive and repetitive aspects of daily work. From legal documents to internal reports, the process often involves multiple revisions, fragmented collaboration, and tools that were not designed for the complexity of modern workflows. According to Artur Sapek, founder of Revise, this gap presents an opportunity to rethink writing tools at a foundational level rather than simply layering new features onto existing systems.
Revise is positioned as an AI-native word processor built to support content creation, editing, and large-scale revision in a more integrated way. Rather than treating artificial intelligence as an add-on, the platform is designed to function as a collaborative system that works alongside users over extended periods. Sapek explains that the goal is to create an environment where AI can assist with meaningful document changes while keeping users actively involved in the process.
From his perspective, many current tools focus heavily on generating text but devote less attention to how documents evolve over time. He notes that professional writing often involves refining structure, maintaining consistency, and managing changes across lengthy documents.
“The focus should be on how a document improves over time, especially when working through complex revisions across many pages,” he says. “It’s about supporting the full lifecycle of a document in a way that keeps changes consistent, intentional, and aligned with the original objective.”
This philosophy is reflected in how Revise handles AI workflows. The platform is designed for corporate professionals, academics, and anyone working with reports, manuals, or multi-page documents that require sustained attention and ongoing updates. According to Sapek, Revise can interpret broad user objectives, gather relevant context, and make targeted changes throughout a document. The system can be configured for quick edits or more extended, agentic workflows.
“The AI agent in Revise is designed to help users make high-quality edits at scale while remaining in control,” Sapek says.
Sapek describes the platform as “agentic,” meaning it can carry out tasks in a more autonomous and iterative manner. Instead of executing a single prompt, the system continues refining a document until it reaches a defined goal.
“You can define what you want to achieve at a higher level, and the system works through the steps needed to get there,” he explains. “It carries that process forward through multiple iterations, so the outcome is shaped by the goal rather than constant manual input.”
At the same time, Sapek emphasizes that the intent is not to replace the writer. The platform is designed to maintain a collaborative dynamic between user and system, ensuring individuals remain engaged with the material they produce.
“This is particularly relevant in academic or professional settings where understanding the content is as important as producing it,” he says. He adds that the platform can assist with proofreading, restructuring, and consistency checks while preserving user control.
Revise also incorporates a tiered model, allowing users to access core functionality for free, with more advanced AI capabilities available through paid plans. This approach is intended to balance accessibility with scalability, reflecting the different ways people use writing tools—from quick edits to ongoing document development.
The idea for Revise emerged from Sapek’s observations of how documents are handled in professional settings, where workflows often involve multiple versions, inefficient copying between chat applications and word processors, and limited visibility into revision history. These challenges highlighted the need for a more cohesive system that integrates editing, collaboration, and automation within a single environment.
Looking ahead, Sapek acknowledges that the role of AI in writing continues to evolve, with uncertainty around how workflows will change in the coming years. However, he maintains that writing itself will remain central to professional and academic life.
“People will always need to communicate ideas clearly—whether in a report, essay, or structured document—and tools should support that process in a way that improves both quality and efficiency,” he says.
By emphasizing collaboration, autonomy, and long-form revision, Revise represents an effort to rethink how writing tools are designed and used.
“As document workflows become more complex, the real advantage will come from tools that let people stay in control while doing more with less effort,” Sapek says. “The emergence of LLMs creates an opportunity to redesign writing and editing tools, helping people accomplish more without compromising quality or integrity.”
