Symbiance has released a new tool that helps medical researchers auto-write clinical study reports.
Dubbed ZYLiQ, the software automates the majority of the writing needed for a clinical study report — about 60-70% — according to the company.
Says Ilango Ramanujam, CEO, Symbiance: “These days, everyone is racing to transform clinical research into digital so that time to market the drug will be faster.
“But without automation playing a key role in this process, this is simply difficult.”
Adds Farha Freoze, a product manager at Symbiance: “The use of advanced technologies such as AI, ML (machine learning), NLP (natural language processing, NLG (natural language generation) — is paramount to how things are done.
“No one wants to be left behind when it comes to this transformation.”

*In-Depth Review: Copysmith: One of a plethora of new auto-text generators on the market, Copysmith snagged a four-of-five star rating in a review on TechRadar.
TechRadar likes Copysmith for its:
~user-friendly interface
~ability to auto-generate copy in seconds
~customer service
But TechRadar was less impressed with the realization that copy generated by Copysmith often had to be tweaked.
It also disliked Copysmith’s limitations on the number of times it will rewrite the same blog post.
Like many auto-text generators, Copysmith offers users a number of templates they can leverage to auto-create ads for social media networks, landing pages, captions, blog posts and more.
Observes Liam Barker, a writer for TechRadar: “The process of trying out templates is straightforward — even if you have no marketing/copywriting experience.
“You simply select the templates that you want to use, then type keywords and short descriptions about your service, product, or brand into the fields provided.
“After that, the AI technology speedily generates the corresponding copy.”
Copysmith starts at $19/month.
*New Contender Elbows-In on Auto-Writing Market: Yet another auto-text writer has joined dozens of others vying to make writing easier: ContentBox.
The new tool promises writing services similar to auto-writers that use supercomputer-driven writing engine GTP-3.
Specifically: Auto-generation of blog posts, product descriptions, emails, video scripts, ads in formats for various social networks and more.
Interestingly, the makers of ContentBox say all the content it produces is accurate — a claim that some other GPT-3-based writers cannot make.
Proof of that claim, of course, will be in the pudding.
ContentBox starts at $49/month.
Another AI Writer Joins the Army of New Auto-Text Writers: Add Copywriterpro.ai to the wide variety of choices you now have for AI-generated writing.
Like many of its competitors, Copywriterpro.ai promises to automatically produce social network ads and posts, product descriptions, seed writing for blog posts and Web sites, paraphrased writing and more.
*AI-Generated Writing and the Gaming Industry: AI writing pioneer Narrativa offers an up-close look at how its software is helping auto-generate articles for sports gamblers visiting the gaming Web site Sportsbet.io.
One example: Narrativa’s AI-generated writing tool auto-produces articles on upcoming matches in English Premier League Soccer.
Those articles come complete with the latest stats on the teams and its predictions for the game — info gamblers crave, according to the company.
*Phrasee: Profile of an AI-Generated Advertising Provider: BBC News serves-up an interesting look at automated advertising firm Phrasee in this piece.
Observes BBC writer Michael Dempsey: “Standard copywriting takes place through a process of editing, argument and approval.
“Mr. Malm says Phrasee does the same thing using a technique called deep learning — a vast network of parameters and pre-set limits that guide the program in the right direction.
“This allows it to bounce a slogan around, ranking its impact against raw data gleaned from many sources.”
But apparently, there are some who are wary of computer-generated advertising wit.
Says Rory Sutherland, vice chairman, Ogilvy UK: “My only reservation about using AI is that people will afford it more power and influence than it deserves in an attempt to automate things — to realize the Fordist dream of multiple copies rolling off an assembly line.”
Bottom line: This article is a good read for those looking to weigh the pros — and cons — of AI-automated advertising.
*Digital Apps Writers — Another Writing Genre Ripe for AI?: Digital apps writer Bobbie Wood says AI is already making inroads in her writing genre — but she’s not worried.
Observes Wood: “These tools will augment — and sometimes substitute for — the work of UX (user experience) writers and content designers.
“But AI is really, really dumb in some obvious ways.
“They only understand the nuance we can manage to predict and program.
“Human language is super-nuanced — we know this intimately as writers.
“Can all that nuance be reduced to rules and patterns?
“Probably a lot of it in the future.
“But I’d give it a minimum of 10 years (to get there).”
Wood is also founder of UX Writers Collective, a group of writers who specialize in creating writing for Web apps, mobile apps, chatbots and the like.
*Academic Papers on AI-Generated Creative Writing: An Exhaustive List: A pair of young computer scientists has put together a hefty directory of academic papers spotlighting some of the most interesting uses of AI-generated fiction writing.
Genres represented include apps that help with the auto-generation of:
~Fictional stories
~Metaphors
~Humor
~Idiom
~Poetry
*Adobe Cloud Docs Offer New AI Services: Adobe’s new .PDF Extract API enables users to grab PDF documents for digital auto-republishing.
Plus, a new Document Generation API enables developers to create Word and .PDF documents with ‘dynamic data’ — or data featured in a document that can be automatically updated as that data changes.
Observes Natalie Gagliordi, a writer for ZDnet: “The API includes an out-of-the-box integration with Adobe Sign.”
It’s “also available with the Adobe .PDF Services connector in Microsoft Power Automate — which lets Power Platform users automate document preparation for things like invoices and agreements,” she adds.
Opinion: AI Needs Scrutiny and Regulation: This opinion piece in The New York Times asserts public trepidation about the full impact of AI’s roll-out is warranted.
Essentially, the authors say the U.S. needs to follow the lead of the European Union by developing regulations that will enable AI to flourish across society — without stomping on the people.
“For example, if a machine is going to decide whether or not you are hired for a job, at the very least you deserve regulatory oversight to ensure that it is using proper data, that it has actually performed well and in a non-discriminatory way in the past and that you can appeal to someone if you can demonstrate it has made a mistake,” the authors insist.
They add: “AI developers should not simply ‘move fast and break things,’ to quote an early Facebook motto.
“Real technological advance depends on respect for fundamental rights, ensuring safety and banning particularly treacherous uses of artificial intelligence.”
