# Humanly reference

Humanly is a configurable writing environment that records the writing process inside Humanly. Writers can inspect and share process evidence; educators, researchers, and reviewers can use that evidence alongside their own rules and judgment. Humanly is the writing product at [writehumanly.net](https://writehumanly.net), not a recruiting product or an AI-text rewriting service.

## Start using Humanly

Open the [Humanly app](https://app-cloud.writehumanly.net) to sign in. Read [the product overview](/reference/product) before choosing a personal writing workflow or joining a publisher's task.
