Bring expert content review into every Mac app

Content creation doesn’t happen in a single window. One moment you’re drafting a proposal in Microsoft Word, the next you’re crafting a marketing email in Mail, and later you’re finalizing a design in Adobe InDesign. For enterprise content teams, this scattered landscape presents a significant challenge: How do you maintain brand consistency and content quality when your work is spread across a dozen different applications?

Traditionally, the solution has been to copy text from your working application and paste it into a separate tool for review. This workflow is clunky, inefficient, and disruptive. It breaks your focus and slows you down. But what if you could bring the quality check directly into every application you use?
