Case study

Text prediction software for boosting enterprise productivity

scroll down

Typewise was co-founded by Janis and David in 2019 with a vision to address text prediction challenges through innovative technology. Their journey began with the development of an award-winning keyboard app, which has garnered over 2 million downloads. Over time, Typewise shifted its focus towards serving enterprise customers.

Typewise gained support from Y Combinator and partnered with ETH Zurich to continuously improve their AI technology. The company currently offers three products: a smartphone keyboard app, an AI writing assistant, and an API. The Typewise keyboard is a mobile application available for both iOS and Android smartphones and it provides innovative features for efficient typing, offering users two keyboard layouts: the conventional QWERTY keyboard and their self-invented hexagonal layout (“honeycomb layout”), specifically designed for fast thumb typing.

The Typewise writing assistant is a browser-based text prediction tool tailored to boost speed and quality of written communication, which is particularly important for customer support and sales teams. The company asserts that this tool can boost productivity by 2-3 times. Furthermore, Typewise released an API that allows developers to integrate Typewise’s AI capabilities into third-party platforms, expanding the reach of their technology beyond their native applications.

Typewise’s journey showcases their commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology to revolutionise text prediction, improving written communication experiences for various users and industries.

Challenge

One of the significant challenges that Typewise encountered during their journey was the task of finding and hiring individuals who were not only skilled but also genuinely dedicated to the vision and objectives of the project. As a start-up founded in Zurich, they began their journey by assembling a small team of passionate and talented individuals from the local talent pool. However, as their innovative keyboard app gained traction and their aspirations grew, they realised the need to expand their workforce to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving market.

After conducting thorough research and analysing various potential collaborations, Typewise arrived at a strategic decision to join forces with Holycode. Typewise recognised the excellent opportunity to extend their developing capacities with skilled engineers at Holycode who share their passion for cutting-edge technology and commitment to excellence.
