Turned 'I want to write about Jevons Paradox and AI jobs' into a researched, cited, 700-word article with multiple drafts, revisions, and social posts, all in one conversation.
The research integration is killer. Fed it a blog post halfway through and it immediately understood how to incorporate that angle. This is what AI writing tools should be: actually collaborative, not just prompt-and-pray.

Another notch in the @every toolchain, and a solid re-launch at that.
Spiral used to be a tool for collecting prompts, but now it's a writing assistant, akin to @Lex .
You might be aware that taste becoming a differentiator when it comes to using generative AI — as it's one of the harder and more subjective aspects of getting good results from these bottled intelligences. But that's what Spiral is attempting to tackle, and I'm ready to put it through its paces.

Hey Product Hunt 👋
Most AI writing tools are slop machines.
At Every, we write for a living and use AI daily. None of the tools on the market hit the mark. So we rebuilt our product to be an actual writing partner.
The features we're most excited about:
Collaboration-first: Chat comes first. Spiral interviews you with clarifying questions, then presents three distinct drafts so you can explore angles and refine.
Taste built in: Spiral is opinionated about good writing—built on Every's editorial standards. It pushes back when your message isn't clear and won't let you settle for weak writing.
Writing Styles: Upload your writing or connect Twitter/LinkedIn, and Spiral matches your voice exactly. Or tell it to write like someone you admire.
Workspaces: Give Spiral context about your project, company, or brand so every draft is grounded in what actually matters.
We use it daily for everything from tweets to landing pages to long-form essays. It's the single-purpose writing tool we always wanted.
It's what we wanted: a tool that helps you think through what you're saying and then say it well.
Would love to hear what you write with it.
@dannyaziz97 As a heavy user of LEX, I wonder if this means that the development of LEX is now canceled? It has become silent around it the past weeks. I also don't know where Spiral fits in the Every stack? Is Spiral just for short content and LEX stays for longform? It's important for me because I will start writing my next book soon and don't want to ride a dead horse. Thanks!
Gave it a go, was better than most AI writers and I like the concept of a style guide though I wish it let me tune that more but maybe it will in future versions.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say, like many LLMs its concept of time and dates isn't great. Received this email on the 26th, that my trial was ending in 5 days:
And then my credit card was charged and I received this email on the 28th, 2 days later:
So I think it really meant 2 days instead of 5 days.

I got 500k impressions on X in last one month. Spiral helped me organize my brain dumps. Now, I have a proper writing partner.
I love products from Every, but frankly was skeptical of this one. I'd invested a ton of energy into a Claude project to work as a writing coach and thought it would take too much time to get Spiral up to speed.
Wow, was I wrong! The quality with minimal setup was so so good. It pushed me a lot harder, especially on narrative arch and thoughtful phrasing. I'm really excited to see it continue to evolve.

I've been using Spiral the last few days - I'm still getting a feel for how/where/when it works best, but have to say I've been genuinely impressed thus far. Great work on this.

@azzam_aijazi Thank you!
it looks but the design and the fonts reminds me mymind.com 😅
