Some things are worth writing down.

01 / PALIM AT WORK

See Palim at work.

See how a request becomes a suggestion, a plan becomes a draft, and a revision gets reviewed. These are read-only demos; Palim AI is not yet available to purchase.

01 / ASK FOR A CHANGE

Tell Palim what needs changing.

Select a passage and describe the change. Palim AI works with your draft and relevant project material to prepare a suggestion for you to review.

  • Bring the relevant project material into the request
  • Review the suggestion before applying it
  • Compare it with the original

02 / PREPARE A DRAFT

Turn the plan into a first draft.

Set out the plan and target length. Palim AI drafts against your project requirements. Follow its progress, pause the task, then review and edit the result.

  • Start from a plan you have approved
  • Follow drafting, review and polish
  • Pause when needed and take over the writing

03 / REVIEW THE CHANGES

Read the change beside the original.

Read the original, the suggestion and the reason for the change. Accept or skip suggestions one at a time, or handle the whole set together.

  • Compare without switching between views
  • See why each change was suggested
  • Choose which changes to keep
