The backstory
INK combined an AI writer with a real-time SEO scoring engine, which felt advanced in 2021. Since then the scoring layer has become a commodity — Surfer, NeuronWriter, Rank Math and half a dozen WordPress plugins do it, several for free — and the writing layer is strictly worse than a frontier chat model. Two commoditised halves do not add up to a premium product.
