Can I post about my writing tool here?
Only in the weekly product post. Rule “Share your Product/Tool in the weekly product post ONLY” allows promotion in that thread and nowhere else.

Works well
- A post sharing an AI-generated draft plus your own written commentary on what worked and what failed
- A discussion post asking the community how they handle a specific writing workflow problem with AI
- A lesson learned post where you show before and after text and explain the choices you made
- A question post asking how others structure prompts or edit machine output, asked in good faith
- A post exploring the ethical side of AI writing with your own honest take and an invitation to disagree
- A resource share where you explain the context of the resource and why it helped you
Avoid
- Posting raw AI output with no commentary, which rule 8 defines as spam
- Promoting your product in the main feed instead of the weekly product post
- Asking for tool recommendations outside the pinned weekly tool thread
- Posting a humanizer question outside the humanizer megathread
- Dropping a link or story and never returning to reply to comments
- Being dismissive of people who write with AI, since the rules ask for open mindedness
What r/WritingWithAI Is For
This is a community for people who write with machines. The description says writers, programmers, and AI enthusiasts gather here to talk about machine based writing, how to create AI generated text, and the ethics that come with it. People share resources, discuss what AI writing could mean for the future, and compare notes on the tools they use. The rules tell me the community is organized around weekly threads, one for tool requests and one for sharing products and tools, so a lot of the practical traffic funnels through those pinned posts. Rule 8 gives you the strongest signal about the culture here. Raw AI output dropped with no commentary or context is spam, and the rule tells you to engage with the community rather than just drop your story and go. That tells me this room wants discussion, not dumping.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
Three rules decide most outcomes here. “Raw AI output without commentary or context is spam.” means any text you share needs your own thinking wrapped around it, so a story or sample posted cold gets removed. “Share your Product/Tool in the weekly product post ONLY” is the promotion rule, and the policy brief confirms promotion is banned everywhere except that weekly post. “Looking for a tool? Ask ONLY in the weekly Tool thread (Pinned to top)” means you cannot ask for tool recommendations in a regular post. Two more shape the vibe. “Be nice and open-minded” sets the tone, and “Be active, that's how you'll get most of it” tells you the community rewards participation over drive by posting. There is also “Looking for a Humanizer? Check the Humanizer Megathread (highlighted in the sub)”, which funnels a very common question into one place.
What To Post
A good post here is a conversation starter, not a broadcast. Share an example of AI-generated writing and wrap it in your own commentary, meaning you explain what you were trying to do, what the tool did well, and where it fell short. Ask questions about workflow, ethics, or technique, because the description says the sub explores applications, implications, and ethical considerations. If you built something for writers, you can talk about the problem you solved as a story with context, but the actual promotion of your product belongs in the weekly product post and nowhere else. If you want to ask which tool people recommend, that question lives in the pinned weekly tool thread. Rule five says be active, so the founders who do well here show up regularly, reply to comments, and act like members first.
What To Avoid
Do not drop raw AI output with no commentary or context, because rule 8 calls that spam and the moderators say they remove it. Do not promote your product or tool anywhere except the weekly product post, because that is the only place promotion is allowed. Do not ask for tool recommendations in a regular post, because that is restricted to the weekly tool thread. Do not post looking for a humanizer outside the humanizer megathread. Do not be unkind or dismissive, because rule 1 asks for niceness and open mindedness. And do not post once and vanish, because rule 5 and rule 6 both point at being an active, contributing member.

Common questions about r/WritingWithAI
Can I share a story or text my AI wrote?
Yes, AI content is allowed, but rule 8 says raw output without commentary or context is spam. Add your own explanation, takeaways, or questions around it.
Where do I ask people to recommend a tool?
In the weekly tool thread, which is pinned to the top of the sub. Rule “Looking for a tool? Ask ONLY in the weekly Tool thread (Pinned to top)” makes that the only acceptable place.
What if my product is a humanizer?
The sub has a humanizer megathread highlighted in the community, and rule 4 directs humanizer questions and shares there.
Is AI generated content banned here?
No. The whole community is about AI based writing. The restriction is on context free dumping, not on the content itself.
