Medium launches TK writing app with built-in AI assistance

Medium has released TK, a new writing application that incorporates AI assistance into the core writing workflow. The app allows writers to leverage AI tools as they draft and edit content, positioning the platform as betting on human-AI collaboration for content creation.

The launch comes amid ongoing industry debate about AI's role in publishing, with concerns from writers, publishers and creators about attribution, originality and how AI-generated or AI-assisted work should be disclosed and valued. Medium is moving forward with the tool regardless of these tensions.
