Overview
Interface patterns for AI that assists without taking the pen.
Verse is a drafting tool for people who like writing. The founding constraint: the model may never type into the document. We designed a margin where suggestions wait — quiet, collapsed, dismissible with one key — and a review mode that shows the writer exactly what changed and why. The knot became our metaphor: ideas intertwined, never tangled.
Problem
Early testers described AI writing tools as a co-author who grabs the keyboard. Acceptance rates looked healthy while trust cratered — people shipped text they could not defend.
Solution
Suggestions live beside the text, not inside it. Each one carries its reasoning in a single sentence, and accepting is an edit the writer performs. Trust scores doubled, and the accept rate barely moved — which was exactly the point.
