QuillBot is an AI-powered writing platform on a mission to reimagine writing.
QuillBot Brand provides over 59 million monthly active students,
professionals, and educators with online writing and research tools to help

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
