Lex
Word processor with an AI editor built in
Minimalist word processor with AI feedback on demand. Ask for checks on clarity, structure, or style; the draft stays yours. Free plan includes 30 AI checks a month; Pro at $18/mo adds unlimited checks and premium models.
What it does
Lex is a web-based word processor built around the idea that AI should behave like an editor, not a ghostwriter. You write; when you want feedback, you run checks that flag unclear passages, weak arguments, or style problems, or open a side chat about the draft.
The free plan includes 30 AI checks a month on smaller models. Pro at $18/mo (about $12/mo billed annually) unlocks unlimited checks and premium models, plus an iOS app and priority support. Discounted Pro pricing is available for students, academics, and nonprofits on request.
Lex raised a $2.75M seed round in 2023 and has kept a deliberately small feature surface: documents, comments, checks. It is aimed at people who write for a living and want assistance without surrendering the drafting.
AI stack
Multi-model: checks can run on GPT-4o, Claude Sonnet-class models, or open-weight models such as Llama 3, selectable per check.
From the AXIS Launch team
We like that Lex treats AI as an editor rather than an autocomplete — the draft stays the writer's, and the 30-checks-a-month free tier is a clean freemium line. If you're the maker: what share of your active users run AI checks weekly versus just writing in it?
