How Lightkey's AI-Powered Predictions Work
Lightkey uses specially crafted neural networks that identify deep connections between text segments to improve text prediction and spelling correction accuracy while allowing to preserve full control over your content creation process.
The (Second) Rise of Artificial Intelligence
80 years ago (in the 1940’s) computer scientists started to develop the idea of creating artificial neural networks that try to emulate the human brain. As they made progress, there was great optimism about the potential breakthroughs this technology could achieve. "within ten years a digital computer will discover and prove an important new mathematical theorem“, said H. A. Simon and Allen Newell in 1958.

In practice, a real breakthrough was only achieved about 50 years later with the rise of computing power, as well as access to large data sets. In addition, highly efficient neural networks were introduced and quickly gained popularity by large companies such as Google and Microsoft.
How Lightkey Uses Artificial Intelligence
When you compose your content, Lightkey’s text prediction engine analyzes its contextual relevance. This analysis is powered by Lightkey’s neural networks and their ability to detect complicated relationships across text fragments.

In this example here-above, Lightkey is able to identify ‘SpaceX’ as a word indicating that the context is aerospace engineering, ‘launch’ as the action taken, and ‘unmanned’ as a word relevant to aerial objects. Therefore, the relevant prediction would be ‘spacecraft’. The same analysis could be further applied to the next predictions such as “to” and “Mars”. This is just one example, but in practice Lightkey’s AI technology can identify meaningful relationships in many areas (or content domains).
Please note that Lightkey is not a generative AI solution. Unlike tools designed to replace the content creation process, Lightkey’s goal is to enhance and accelerate writing through personalized, user-driven predictions. Once installed, Lightkey’s suggestions are intentionally minimal and non-disruptive, focusing first on learning each user’s unique writing style. Over time, as it becomes more familiar with the user’s tone, vocabulary, and context, Lightkey gradually increases the number of its suggestions and spelling corrections.
Behind the scenes, Lightkey operates using seven distinct language models. The core AI language model is static, meaning it provides a foundational understanding but does not learn or adapt. The other models are dynamic as they continuously evolve based on the user's typing patterns, allowing Lightkey to personalize predictions with increasing precision.
Importantly, Lightkey is an offline solution, which means that all processing occurs locally on the user’s device, ensuring that work and data remain completely private and secure at all times.
How To Activate Lightkey’s Artificial Intelligence
Lightkey’s artificial intelligence feature is available and enabled by default in all editions, Lightkey Free, Lightkey Professional and Lightkey for Business.
