Built for humans.
Powered by AI.

We think tools should adapt to the way your team works, not the other way around. Welcome to your new work day with Pencil: Smart, joyful, and always learning with you.

Our goal is not to replace you with AI, but give you superpowers that lets humans do more of the things we love (and less of the things we don't).
