Description

Growing at an amazing speed in the hottest SaaS category of our generation,We’re on a mission to revolutionize how marketers, writers, and innovators create their marketing content. Anyword is creating the world’s leading GenAI content performance platform, based on 10 years of experience working with the biggest publishers and brands globally.

With tools like ChatGPT and Gemini 🤖 taking the world by storm, it’s clear that the spotlight is now shining on the Generative AI space. However, its ultimate hurdle is now a self-compounding problem: with infinite options for messaging now available to all marketers… How do we know what will actually work?

Your words matter, and Anyword was built to ensure that they resonate. Since 2021, we’ve been building a platform to help both the world’s largest brands and its next rising stars actually move, inspire, and drive their audiences forward.

We’ve built the brain behind all marketing messaging, no matter where it lives and how you create it (with AI or not). And now we’re looking to you to help change the world with us!

Our supporters and believers

Marketers and writers create their best, record-setting work across companies like Amazon, Red Bull, the New York Times, Ted Baker, Sony, and more

We’re backed by Innovation Endeavors, founded by former CEO of Google, Eric Schmidt, and Dror Berman. In 2022, we raised our Series B for $21 million and are on track to continue significant growth across all parts of our business.
