Online publishing platform Medium on Monday launched a new app, called TK,<\/a> which aims to bring AI technology<\/a> deeper into the writing process. The idea behind TK is to make it easier to turn ideas into written words by incorporating an AI assistant into the editor itself, allowing users to ask for help by typing \u201c@TK\u201d followed by their request or prompt.<\/p>\n

In publishing and journalism, the term \u201cTK\u201d serves as a placeholder used to mark where missing information can be added later. The \u201cTK\u201d stands for \u201cto come,\u201d but uses a \u201cK\u201d instead of \u201cC\u201d as there are few English words where the \u201ctk\u201d letter combination exists, making it stand out more easily in written text where it could be caught by proofreaders.<\/p>\n

In Medium\u2019s app<\/a>, TK takes on a new role as it tries to help users fill in the blanks.<\/p>\n

The company suggests the AI assistant could help answer questions that you might normally have to switch to another tab to quickly look up, like how many days are in a particular month. The app<\/a> could also pull in bits of writing you had previously saved to the app when you were still fleshing out your ideas.<\/p>\n

In addition, Medium says TK<\/a> will ship with particular skills for editorial feedback, headline feedback, and others that could match your draft to the style guide for Medium publications. <\/p>\n

Medium\u2019s move to embrace AI in the early stages of writing could prove controversial at a time when the publishing and literary worlds have been reckoning with the role that artificial intelligence has played in the creation of new long-form prose. Multiple<\/a> authors<\/a> have lost book deals<\/a> over suspicions that they used AI technology to help them write, while other literary awards have come under scrutiny<\/a> after winners were suspected of writing with AI assistance<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While writers have long used automated tools for proofreading and light grammatical edits, there is growing concern across the publishing industry that an AI assistant\u2019s editorial \u201csuggestions\u201d can become the writing itself, instead of being reflective of the thoughts in the writer\u2019s own mind.<\/p>\n

But because AI models were trained on human writing, there are also questions around the reliability of AI detection tools<\/a> in terms of their ability to properly determine when something was written with AI, rather than with its assistance, versus not at all.<\/p>\n

TK leans into this debate, taking the side that these nuances will ultimately no longer matter in the end. Instead, the company celebrates what AI can bring to the world of writing, saying that \u201cartificial intelligence makes writing more important, not less,\u201d and proclaiming that \u201cAI is a technology that has the power to amplify human intelligence and it uses the written word as a foundation.\u201d <\/p>\n

Still, Medium concedes that AI does raise the possibility of low-quality content and blurring the line between what\u2019s human-written versus AI-written. To address these concerns, TK allows authors to publish notes that transparently explain how AI was used in their writing. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a start of what we believe is required to publish in the AI era, which is to make the provenance of writing clear, transparent, and inspectable, right down to the prompting and source material,\u201d Medium explained in a blog post about the launch.<\/a> <\/p>\n

In addition to writing assistance, TK will help users remember and organize what they had previously written and suggest writing prompts. The app can also optionally connect to your own AI agent through TK\u2019s MCP server or Claude skill, so the app can better understand your projects, your positions, and other ideas that could be stored in your agent\u2019s memory.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the new app incorporates human feedback in a social<\/a> layer, the company says, allowing writers to share their early drafts with others and get feedback. <\/p>\n

At launch, TK is available on the web, but a desktop app is on the roadmap, Medium says. The app can import and export Markdown, but it\u2019s not a Markdown app itself. The writing in TK is also not encrypted, as the app is designed for collaboration, but users will be able to set access control permissions on their work. <\/p>\n

Medium, which is profitable, says TK will be a free tool for those with a Medium account. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
