About us

QuillBot is an AI-powered writing platform on a mission to reimagine writing. QuillBot provides over 58 million monthly active students, professionals, and educators with free online writing and research tools to help them become more effective, productive, and confident. The QuillBot team was built on the idea that learning how to write and use that knowledge is empowering. They want to automate the more time-consuming parts of writing so that users can focus on their craft. Whether you're writing essays, social media posts, or emails, QuillBot has your back. It has an array of productivity-enhancing tools that are already changing the way the world writes. In the most recent series of events, CourseHero, a 15-year-old Ed-Tech unicorn based in California that is now known as Learneo, also acquired us.
