Strut

We envision a future where the complexities of writing and project management dissolve into a seamless flow of creativity and productivity. Strut was created to unify the essential tools that writers, creators, and teams rely on, enabling a focused and collaborative environment powered by intelligent assistance.

Driven by the belief that technology should amplify human potential rather than replace it, our platform integrates note-taking, document editing, and project management with AI that acts as a thoughtful partner—offering insights, inspiration, and support that keeps ideas moving forward.

Our mission is to clear the noise and deliver clarity through innovation, crafting a workspace that adjusts to the needs of creators and teams alike, empowering them to move from ideas to impactful outcomes with ease and focus.

When we first explored Strut's AI-powered writing workspace, we were immediately struck by its ambitious vision to be the "everything app" for writers and creative teams. The platform stood out for its clean, distraction-free design and clever integration of features that typically require multiple apps.

A Fresh Take on Writing Tools

What impressed us most was how seamlessly Strut combined note-taking, document editing, and project management. Instead of jumping between apps, everything lived in one thoughtfully designed space. The AI integration felt more like a helpful writing partner than just another automated tool - offering suggestions and inspiration without taking over the creative process.

Where It Really Shined

The platform's strength lay in its unified workspace approach. We particularly appreciated how it handled the transition from quick notes to full documents, making it easy to develop rough ideas into polished content. The collaboration features were smooth and intuitive, perfect for teams working on shared projects.

The Bittersweet Reality

Despite its innovative approach and solid execution, Strut's journey was cut short. After launching in September 2023, the platform struggled to grow its user base fast enough to sustain operations. While its $8-20 monthly subscription model seemed reasonable, the company ultimately couldn't achieve the scale needed to survive in the competitive AI tools market.

Strut represented an exciting experiment in reimagining the writing workspace. While its time was brief, it showed us what's possible when you combine thoughtful design, AI assistance, and seamless collaboration tools. For those who got to experience it, Strut offered a glimpse of how future writing tools might evolve.
