What it does

Moonbeam is an AI writing assistant aimed at long-form content such as essays, articles, blogs and guides. You pick a template, including technical guide, product update, help desk article, how-to guide, essay, blog, newsletter, lesson plan, discussion post, personal story and Twitter thread (beta), or give its AI, Luna, a single phrase and get a first draft back. The Wizard takes jumbled notes and turns them into an outline, then turns the outline into paragraphs. Smart Chat sits inside the editor and is described as GPT-4 powered: you can ask about your document, highlight text to have it refined, or generate posts from the conversation. A content cluster tool produces 10+ ideas from a prompt or keyword and can create outlines and full posts from them, kept in folders. The editor can paraphrase or improve text, apply a Boss Mode transformation, embed links and images, and share drafts publicly. Collaboration Mode lets teammates work on one document in a Google Docs-like way, and a custom style generator writes in the manner of named authors, comedians or politicians. The site offers a Free Plan and a Pro plan, and Pro is backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee. Prices are not shown on the page.
