Hi!

+

We're a group of students and one professor at Calvin University, a small mostly-undergrad school in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

+

We've been interested in how different kinds of AI affect what—and how—people write.

+

In this study, we will explore how AI writing tools influence your writing process and outcomes.

+

Thank you for helping us out!
