Textio for Chrome is the in-browser companion to Textio, an AI writing platform aimed at recruiters and people managers. Instead of asking users to draft job posts, candidate emails or performance reviews in a separate editor, the extension injects Textio's guidance directly into the systems where that writing already happens. When a recruiter opens a job requisition in Greenhouse, Workday Recruiting, iCIMS, Taleo, SAP SuccessFactors or Oracle Recruiting, the extension highlights phrasing choices and shows a live Textio Score for the draft. When a manager writes performance feedback in Workday Performance Management, Lattice or SAP SuccessFactors, it shifts to equitable-feedback guidance instead.
The product is deliberately narrow: it is a guidance layer, not a full writing suite. It flags language patterns statistically associated with narrower candidate pools, marks key phrases worth keeping, and scores drafts against Textio's models. Because the extension piggybacks on integrations, it only works when the underlying Textio subscription includes the integration for that particular platform.
The extension is free to install from the Chrome Web Store, but it is not a free product: an active Textio subscription is required for it to do anything. For teams already standardized on Textio, it removes the copy-paste step between the writing tool and the applicant tracking or performance system that most organizations already treat as their source of truth.
