Witty - your inclusive writing assistant door Witty Works

Witty is an AI-powered assistant for inclusive language and behavior. With Witty, you not only create a more inclusive culture through language but also mitigate the risks of organizational bias that could lead to legal challenges in compliance with EU and US discrimination or AI regulations. Whether you’re communicating internally or externally, Witty empowers you to write and behave in a way that includes everyone, fostering an inclusive corporate culture.

How Witty Works:

• Detecting biased wording: Witty highlights words or phrases that may exclude, deter or stereotype certain groups.
• Micro-learning content: Witty provides micro-learning bites to explain the bias behind the word/phrase.
• Real-time inclusive alternatives: Witty suggests alternatives that are more inclusive, without disrupting your workflow.
• Spelling and grammar check: Maintain professionalism with built-in spelling and grammar correction.

Corporate Features:

• Corporate vocabulary management: Store your organization’s inclusive language or corporate vocabulary in Witty. Ensure every team member writes with consistent language by making your vocabulary available to all users.
• Bias detection across 50+ diversity dimensions: Witty analyzes language across over 50 diversity dimensions, including ethnicity, gender, age, and more. Organizations can configure which dimensions to focus on and the depth of analysis for each one.
• Statistics on bias traps: Witty provides detailed analytics that highlight patterns of unconscious bias in your organization’s communications. This helps you detect and address bias early, reducing legal risk in compliance with both EU and US anti-discrimination regulations. Also, with Witty you can monitor outputs from LLMs such as ChatGPT or MS Copilot and detect biased wording therein. In Human Resources, this protects you against legal issues in relation to the 'EU AI Act' or AI guidelines in the US. Finally, these statistics can be used for reporting in compliance with the EU Corporate Social Responsibility Directive (EU CSRD), section «ESRS S1 Own Workforce», in effect from January 2025 for all organizations larger than 250 employees.
• Languages: Witty is used by many international organizations. That’s why it is available in English, German, and now French, with Spanish and Italian coming soon.
• Compatibility: Witty works wherever you work. It’s a browser extension that integrates with any web-based application like CMS, ATS, Social Media, or project management tools. It’s also a Microsoft Word Add-in for Desktop (Microsoft Outlook coming soon). And we are working on a ‘wittified’ Copilot extension.
