What Marker does
Marker is a reimagined word processor for the thinking and drafting phase of writing, aimed at writers who see writing as a process of discovery rather than pure output. Its AI tools are designed to write with the author rather than for them, supporting ideation, drafting, revision and collaboration on rough material before it's ready to share. It was co-founded in 2026 by Jon Steinback, formerly DeepMind's brand and creative lead, and Ryan Bowman, who has spent two decades building platforms for writers at literary agencies and publications including Nature and the Financial Times. The company is based in London.
