Textio
Bias-aware writing guidance for feedback, job posts and interviews
Overview
Textio is a Seattle HR software company whose AI guides managers writing performance feedback (Textio Feedback) and recruiters writing job posts and outreach (Textio Recruiting), flagging biased or vague language. Its newer Lavalier platform structures and transcribes interviews and builds evidence-based debriefs. Textio pricing is quoted; Lavalier lists a free plan.

Textio's most useful product is now Feedback: in-the-moment guidance that flags biased, personality-based or vague language in performance reviews and peer feedback, which general writing assistants do not attempt. Recruiting still scores job posts and outreach, though that use case has more cheap alternatives, and Lavalier adds structured interviews with a free plan to try.
Against that, Textio has cut staff three times since 2023 and changed chief executive in January 2026, and its own prices are not published beyond a two-week Feedback trial. Worth a demo for organisations that want consistent, defensible performance feedback at scale.
What we found
Textio is a Seattle software company, building AI writing guidance for HR since 2014, and it now sells three products. Textio Recruiting, previously marketed as Textio Loop, scores job posts, sourcing emails and careers pages, predicts who will apply, and flags language that skews by gender or age. Textio Feedback, previously Textio Lift, coaches managers while they write performance reviews, self-assessments, peer and upward feedback and informal notes, highlighting biased or vague phrasing and offering rewrites. Lavalier, launched in 2026, is a structured-interview platform that builds interview plans, transcribes phone, video and in-person interviews, and assembles evidence-based debriefs.
The company has been shrinking and refocusing. GeekWire reported layoffs of 15 people in 2023, 14 in March 2024 and 15 in January 2025, when Textio said the Feedback side of the business was the one growing. In January 2026 the board named chief operating officer Colleen Gallagher as chief executive, succeeding co-founder Jensen Harris; Textio's about page now lists Harris and co-founder Kieran Snyder as founders emeritus, and the company added HR software executive Meg Bear to its board in July 2026. Textio is still independent and venture-backed, having raised $42.5 million from investors including Emergence Capital, Scale Venture Partners and Bloomberg Beta, according to GeekWire.
Textio does not publish its own prices. Textio Feedback has a two-week free trial and everything else goes through sales. Earlier versions of this page quoted entry prices of about $15,000 a year and $200 to $300 a month; neither figure appears on any Textio page, so both are gone. Lavalier is the exception: a free plan gives unlimited users 100 credits a month, Pro Starter is $499 a month for 500 credits, and enterprise pricing is on request.
The headline figures are Textio's own: more than a billion HR documents behind its models, a quarter of the Fortune 500 as past users, and over 100,000 managers on Textio Feedback. Named customers include Bloomberg, Cisco, Samsung and Spotify. Its strongest case is feedback, where generic writing assistants offer no bias guidance.
