What is CleverType?
CleverType is a cross-platform AI-powered keyboard for iOS, Android, and desktop browsers (Chrome, Edge, and Firefox extensions). It helps users write correct, clear, and context-aware English anywhere they type—messages, emails, social media, documents, and browsers. Unlike traditional writing tools that work only inside specific apps, CleverType integrates directly into the keyboard layer, providing AI writing assistance system-wide on mobile and inside browsers on desktop.
Key features include Smart Grammar Correction that detects grammatical errors, spelling mistakes, and awkward phrasing in real time with one-tap fixes; Tone Change & Paraphrasing with 15+ built-in tones (Professional, Casual, Polite, Friendly, Romantic, Empathetic, Funny, Sarcastic, Angry, Flirty, Witty, Gen Z, Poetic, Concise); Clever Reply for automatic contextual message and email responses; 20+ AI Writing Assistants for rewriting, summarizing, expanding, humanizing AI text, generating captions, and emojifying; Next Sentence Suggestion that predicts the next sentence based on typed content; and AI Translation supporting 40+ languages with context-aware translation that preserves tone and intent.
CleverType is designed primarily for non-native English speakers, professionals who write frequently on mobile, users who want Grammarly or Wordtune-like features directly inside their keyboard, and people who want fast one-tap rewriting without switching apps. The keyboard supports 40+ languages, works offline for standard typing, and includes privacy-first architecture that does not store keystrokes.
The tool is available as mobile apps for iOS and Android, plus desktop extensions for Chrome, Edge, and Firefox. It integrates with most apps where typing is enabled, including WhatsApp, Instagram, Gmail, Outlook, and chat conversations.
