Botnik

Botnik Studios is a creative collective and technology company focused on human–AI collaboration in writing and design. Comprising writers, designers, and engineers, Botnik develops tools and runs collaborative projects that blend machine-generated text with human editing to produce experimental content.

Central to its approach is the predictive keyboard, a neural-language tool that suggests plausible next words or phrases as users input text. Contributors use the tool to generate options, which are then curated, rearranged, or rewritten to form humorous, surreal, or genre-bending pieces. In addition to the predictive keyboard, Botnik has experimented with other AI-assisted methods and templates to guide writing across media formats.

Projects often involve rewriting or extending existing works, creating parody or alternative takes, and producing original pieces in forms such as articles, scripts, and poetry. Botnik collaborates with media outlets, brands, and individual creators, sharing workflows and encouraging community participation through open calls and public demonstrations.

Impact and reception: Botnik's work has contributed to conversations about the capabilities and limits of AI in creative writing, highlighting the value of human judgment in editing and curation, and prompting discussion about authorship and originality in machine-assisted content.
