writing assistant
Text creation aide
A writing assistant is software or a person that helps with composing, editing, or improving text.
The term now usually refers to AI-powered tools that suggest phrasing, correct grammar, or generate content: I ran the email through my writing assistant before sending it.
Human writing assistants—editors, copywriters, ghostwriters—predate the digital sense but are less commonly called this.
