Writely is an open-source browser extension for Chrome, Firefox, and Edge that brings GPT-powered AI writing assistance to any editable webpage, positioning itself as a free alternative to Notion AI. It supports drafting emails and articles, replying on social media, and query translation to assist reading, activated by selecting text on any site.

Use cases

  • write emails with AI assistance directly in the browser
  • draft articles and stories on any website like Zhihu
  • reply to posts on Twitter or Weibo with AI-generated responses
  • get a Notion AI-like writing assistant outside of Notion
  • translate and summarize selected text while reading web pages
  • improve writing quality on any online editor

When to choose

  • you want AI writing help across all websites, not just one app
  • you prefer an open-source, free alternative to Notion AI
  • you use Chrome, Firefox, or Edge and have your own OpenAI API key

When to avoid

  • you need a fully managed service without supplying your own OpenAI API key
  • you want AI writing features inside native desktop apps rather than the browser
  • you require guaranteed long-term maintenance, as the project is in beta
