Writer is a privately held enterprise AI company that provides a full‑stack generative AI platform, combining its proprietary Palmyra large language models, a graph‑based Knowledge Graph, and an application layer of chat interfaces, templates, and agents. Founded in 2020 by May Habib and Waseem AlShikh and headquartered in San Francisco, Writer focuses on helping large organizations embed AI directly into business workflows rather than offering a single-purpose content tool. en.wikipedia.org
Since launch, Writer has grown to serve over 250 leading enterprises, including brands like Accenture, Intuit, L’Oréal, Salesforce, Uber, Vanguard, Mars, Marriott, and others across financial services, healthcare, retail, technology, and media. The company has raised approximately $326M in venture capital across Seed, Series A, B, and C rounds, most recently a $200M Series C in November 2024 at a $1.9B valuation, backing its ambition to be a category leader in agentic enterprise AI. businesswire.com
Writer’s product has evolved from an AI writing assistant into an end‑to‑end platform for “agentic work.” Core components now include AI HQ for orchestrating fleets of AI agents, AI Studio for no‑code and low‑code app and agent building, Palmyra domain‑specific and multimodal models, and a Knowledge Graph that connects to enterprise data sources for high‑accuracy retrieval‑augmented generation. The platform includes more than 100 prebuilt agents for common workflows across finance, healthcare, retail, and technology, while enabling IT and business teams to co‑create custom agents with strong observability and governance. businesswire.com
Security, compliance, and governance are central to Writer’s market positioning. The company is SOC 2 Type II audited (including HIPAA), PCI compliant, and, as of 2025, certified against the ISO 27001, 27701, and 42001 standards, with a public Trust Center for auditors and customers. Its platform offers granular admin controls, content guardrails, claim detection, and enterprise deployment options, making it especially attractive to regulated industries that need both powerful AI and rigorous oversight. businesswire.com
