Medium's TK app embeds AI in writing process
medium launches tk app with ai assistant to help writers, sparking debate on ai role in writing.
medium has launched a new app called tk, which brings ai assistance directly into the writing process. the app allows users to ask for help by typing @tk followed by their request or prompt, and can assist with tasks such as answering questions, providing editorial feedback, and matching drafts to style guides. the move may be seen as controversial in the publishing industry, where concerns exist about the role of ai in writing and the potential for ai-generated content. medium is addressing these concerns by allowing authors to publish notes that transparently explain how ai was used in their writing. the app is available on the web, with a desktop app on the roadmap.
