Share the byline.
A writing room for teams. Edit together, talk while you work, and let an AI assistant help along the way — with every version saved automatically.
Invite-only beta. We’ll be in touch.
Methodology
We propose a mixed-methods approach combining semi-structured interviews with quantitative survey data across three institutions.
The sample will comprise approximately 200 participants, stratified by career stage and discipline.
From blank page to published paper, in one place.
Start writing
Open a blank document or bring one you've already started. The editor is clean, focused, and stays out of your way.
Invite your co-authors
Share a link. Your team joins the document and you see each other's changes as they happen — no more emailing drafts back and forth.
Talk while you write
Start a voice call without leaving the page. Discuss a tricky paragraph, agree on a structure, or just think out loud together.
Let the assistant help
A writing assistant sits alongside your work. Ask it to draft a section, check your argument, find a citation, or rewrite for clarity. Every suggestion is yours to accept or ignore.
Every version, always saved
Byline automatically saves every meaningful change. Browse your history as a simple timeline, compare any two versions, or restore an earlier one. Nothing is ever lost.
Everything you need, nothing you don’t.
Write together, in real time
Voice calls, built in
An assistant, not an autopilot
The AI writing assistant can draft, rewrite, summarise, research, and suggest — but it never writes over your work. It lives in the margin, ready when you need it, silent when you don’t. You can also bring your own AI tools: Byline’s documents live in a local folder, so Claude Co-Work, Claude Code, or any compatible agent can work alongside you.
Version history that just works
The Reading Room
Bring your research, briefs, source material, and prior work into Byline’s shared reference space. Every co-author sees the same material, always up to date. The writing assistant draws on it too — so its suggestions are grounded in your actual sources, not generic knowledge.
Team leads can pin key documents, update shared references as thinking evolves, and set the direction for the project without interrupting the writing.
Clean by design
Who Byline is for
Research teams writing a paper
Three co-authors, two time zones, one deadline. Open a voice call, divide the sections, let the assistant pull together your references. Pin your methodology notes in the Reading Room so everyone works from the same foundation. Review each other's work in real time. Submit knowing every version is saved.
Grant writers assembling a proposal
Bring your team into one document. Load the funder's guidelines and your institutional template into the Reading Room — the assistant helps with structure and compliance language, grounded in the actual requirements. The voice call means fewer meetings. The version history means your programme officer can see exactly what changed and when.
Editorial teams polishing a report
Writer drafts. Editor comments. Writer revises. The whole cycle happens in one place, with a clear trail of who changed what. Pin your style guide in the Reading Room and the assistant will follow it. No more track-changes tennis across email attachments.
Pricing
Byline is currently in invite-only early access. Pricing will be announced when we open to the public. We’re committed to a generous free tier for individual writers and small teams, with team and institutional plans for larger groups.
