Orchard
Orchard is a copywriting and research assistant that combines chat, web search, uploaded files, and saved links in one workspace. You ask questions in plain language and Orchard pulls answers from your documents, connected sources, and live web results inside the same thread. It is built for people who need grounded writing help, not a blank chat box.
Most AI chat tools treat your files as one-off attachments. Orchard builds a tailored search layer over your workspace data, then layers real-time web search on top when a question needs fresh facts. It also supports multiplayer chats and a smart text editor that suggests edits based on what is already in your workspace, which is a different bet than solo prompt-and-paste workflows.
Orchard fits analysts, researchers, and small teams who live in documents and need shared context. Writers drafting blogs, essays, or newsletters can use the editor for continuations tied to project files. Teams can collaborate in chats and documents instead of emailing drafts back and forth.
