The platform has already attracted AI-first companies such as Grammarly, BeReal, and BiggerPockets, showcasing its effectiveness. just words is also targeting the Indian market with solutions for platforms like Naukri and Jeevansathi.

The AI engine of just words refines messaging based on user behavior and market trends, optimizing content across emails and push notifications. This enables businesses to test various messaging approaches simultaneously, combat content fatigue, and enhance engagement and conversions. With its focus on scalable, personalized content, just words is set to lead in the AI-powered optimization space.
