SEATTLE--()--Textio today announced the release of Textio Flow, a breakthrough step forward for augmented writing technology. With Textio Flow, your rough ideas are instantly transformed into powerful language with a single keystroke. Building on the words that you type, Textio’s data-fueled predictive engine generates highly effective writing that sounds like you. No more tortured minutes staring at a blank page, struggling to find the perfect turn of phrase—just jot down your thoughts, press the Tab key, and watch the words flow.

Tapping into Textio’s enormous proprietary data set of more than half a billion documents with real-world outcomes, Textio Flow can turn just a few words into complete paragraphs of text. Textio’s word processor helps the writer articulate the best version of the concept they want to get across, using the language that’s on brand for their company and most likely to get a response from the person for whom it’s written. No more guessing what words to choose—writing that used to take hours of concentrated effort now gets done effortlessly and effectively in minutes.

“Writing is the currency of business. In any company, the thing your team actually produces the most of every day is words,” said Kieran Snyder, co-founder and CEO, Textio. “Textio Flow moves beyond today’s simple word processors, which only provide basic tools to help you type what you were already going to write a bit faster. Textio Flow understands the underlying meaning in your rough ideas and expands it into rich and effective language that is perfect for the situation.”

When you write, you are broadcasting to the world what your company values. Whether you’re hiring, selling, marketing, or even communicating internally, not only are the words you choose literally the difference between success and failure, they also broadcast the underlying truth of what your business cares about.

"The first time I saw Textio Flow, I knew I was seeing the future," said Denise Reed Lamoreaux, Global Chief Diversity Officer, Atos. "Our organization includes nearly 125,000 people from all kinds of backgrounds and parts of the world. It's impossible to get your head around how many words get written here at Atos every day. Textio Flow makes sure that this vast and diverse community can communicate in a way that deeply reflects our values."

Textio Flow is the missing link between the company you are and the company you want to be. Up until now, there’s never been software to automatically propagate your company’s best storytelling across your entire organization. As Textio Flow taps into your most effective on-brand writing, not only do you get better business results, but you meaningfully change the culture of your company.

"When it comes to culture, how people communicate is everything," said Terri Coligan, Manager of Recruiting Enablement, Nestle. "The words you use reveal so much about who you are, and it's often subconscious. Textio Flow lets us get more intentional about the alignment between our words and our culture. And it's fast—going from a few rough ideas to the best expression of those ideas takes minutes, not hours."

Textio Flow is the core writing foundation of Textio Hire, the award-winning augmented writing platform for hiring. Textio perfectly tailors the text in job posts and recruiting messages for the specific role, location, company, and intended audience. Anyone can use Textio Hire to write a highly effective job post from scratch in five minutes flat.

“We’ve entered a new era of what it feels like to write,” said Jensen Harris, co-founder and CTO, Textio. “Textio Flow is the realization of the dream we had when we founded Textio: giving humans the power to write at the speed of thought. Once you feel what it’s like to experience the perfect words flowing effortlessly from your fingertips, in your own voice, you never want to go back to letter-at-a-time typing again.”

“Our job as Talent Acquisition professionals is to make the job of attracting talent efficient and effective,” said Michelle Burks, Director, North America & EMEA Talent Acquisition, Micron Technology, Inc. “Textio Flow will bring more creativity to my team’s writing by helping them meld their ideas for an open role, with the language that reflects our culture and will accelerate hiring.”
