Tao House Partners with Smart Keys to Empower Our Creative Community

At Tao House, we’ve always believed that great stories start with the right tools and a spark of inspiration. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce our new partnership with Smart Keys—an innovative Mac and iOS app that brings AI-powered writing tools right to your fingertips.

Why This Matters for Writers, Students and Staff

Whether you’re drafting your next short story, polishing a grant proposal or crafting a workshop handout, Smart Keys makes complex tasks feel effortless. Here’s what you can look forward to:

  • Instant Proofreading and Grammar Checks
    No more second-guessing comma placement. Smart Keys catches common mistakes and offers clear suggestions so your prose shines without slowing you down.
  • Seamless Translation
    Collaborating with international artists or translating your own work has never been easier. One click, and Smart Keys converts your text into a polished draft in another language.
  • Custom AI Prompts
    Create your own “keys” to handle niche tasks—like generating writing prompts, summarizing research notes or brainstorming exhibition titles. All built to adapt to your style.

These features are available at no extra cost to every writer, student and staff member affiliated with Tao House. Simply download the app, sign in with your Tao House email and start creating.

A Partnership Born from Shared Vision

Smart Keys reached out to us because they share our passion for art, education and community. Their team saw how Tao House nurtures creativity through residencies, mentorships and awards—and they wanted in. By offering their premium AI toolkit to our network, they’re lighting a path for more impactful storytelling across every discipline we support.

“At Smart Keys, we believe technology should empower, not overwhelm,” says Diego Dotta from Smart Keys. “Partnering with Tao House lets us bring our lightweight AI tools to a dynamic community of artists and writers who can turn ideas into reality.”

Getting Started

  1. Download Smart Keys from the App Store or Mac App Store.
  2. Sign in with your Tao House credentials.
  3. Explore the built-in AI keys or create custom workflows that match your process.

If you’re new to AI writing tools, we’ll host a live demo on June 5 at 3 PM Pacific.

Look out for the signup link in our newsletter.

This partnership marks an exciting chapter for both organizations.

We can’t wait to see how you use these tools to push your work further. From polished manuscripts to multilingual collaborations, Smart Keys is here to help you write your next masterpiece—effortlessly.

Stay creative,
The Tao House Team
