Current Focus: Sudowrite
Amit launched Sudowrite in August 2020, an AI writing tool to help creative writers beat writer's block.1 The company is profitable, growing, and hiring.45
Sudowrite's goal is to create a story engine that makes it easier for anyone to tell stories and write novels.1 The company is talking to authors of nonfiction to understand their writing process as well.7
Amit is also an optimistic speculative fiction writer himself, with his work appearing in publications like The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Wired.36
Highlights
"Sudowrite has genuinely transformed my approach to writing. Six months ago, if you had told me I’d complete not one, but two YA science fiction novels, I would have laughed.
If you’d told me one of those novels would hit #1 on Amazon for a week, I’d have begged for the secret."
