TextJam Debuts: A Multiplayer Writing Revolution Powered by AI
The official launch of TextJam signals a major step forward in how humans and AI work together, offering a multiplayer writing platform that transforms collaboration into something smarter, faster, and more creative. Built for writers, students, teams, and knowledge professionals, TextJam gives users a level of control over AI-assisted writing that has never existed before. With its innovative tools, it allows people to decide exactly what the AI should refine and what should remain untouched.
Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, TextJam introduces two core writing modes. The “pen tool” locks in phrases, thoughts, and ideas users want to preserve, while the “pencil tool” lets them draft freely, knowing the AI can step in to polish and shape the content. Both modes merge seamlessly, ensuring that while AI enhances the text, the meaning and voice remain true to the author. Adding to this, intuitive gestures let writers expand or condense their work effortlessly, giving them fluid control over pacing and depth without breaking their creative flow.
Another breakthrough lies in how TextJam integrates guidance directly into documents. Users can drop inline prompts and notes anywhere, providing specific directions for the AI, while collaborators can edit or add their own prompts. This shared input allows multiple contributors to influence the AI in real time, blending automation with genuine teamwork. For the first time, an editor features a dedicated group chat tied to each document, where ideas can be discussed, refined, and enhanced by AI suggestions shaped by the entire team’s thinking.
“TextJam reimagines the word processor for the AI era,” said Pete DeLaurentis, founder of TextJam. “We need to think carefully about how AI fits into our workflows. It shouldn’t replace human creativity—it should make it stronger.”
Completing the experience is “Time Traveler,” a feature that stores every version of a document, letting users revisit, experiment, or even watch their entire creative process unfold like a movie. In classrooms, this opens a window into how students brainstorm, iterate, and solve problems, proving that thoughtfully designed AI can enrich skills, collaboration, and creativity rather than diminish them.
