Lex

What Lex is
Lex is a collaborative document editor with AI tools for developing and revising writing. It can provide feedback on drafts, help with brainstorming and rewrites, respond to commands and suggest titles with one click. Documents can be shared for live collaboration, comments or read-only publishing; collaborators can join from a link without downloading an app. Teams can create reusable prompts and shared context tags to give the AI background about their voice, goals and past work. The Kit integration uses recent and high-performing newsletters to shape drafting prompts and subject-line ideas, and can send finished writing to Kit. Lex also offers a developer API. It is intended for writing that benefits from editing, including academic papers, customer-facing copy, important emails and fiction. Lex is available on the web and iOS, with mobile web collaboration and iOS access included in Pro. Free accounts are limited to 30 Ask Lex messages per day, five saved prompt runs per month and a low daily AI processing budget. Lex says it does not train models on customer content without explicit written permission.
