Spencer Lanoue

We’ve been building software for over a decade. Our CEO was on the early team at one of the pioneering remote-first SaaS startups—long before remote work became the norm. That experience showed us just how essential great documentation is for doing meaningful, collaborative work. In a world where more teams are distributed and more work happens online, clear writing isn’t optional—it’s foundational.

Then, he went on to build AI-powered productivity tools, and saw a major gap: traditional document editors weren’t designed for the way we work today. So we set out to build a document platform built from the ground up for the AI era.

Our CTO brings deep AI expertise from his role as lead AI engineer at a $10+ billion market cap, publicly traded top 100 SaaS company. He’s built advanced AI copilots and agents for some of the world’s most complex enterprise environments—and now we’re bringing that same level of power and precision to help everyone write better, faster, and more effectively. With Spell, we want to help people communicate at their highest level and do their best work in a fraction of the time.
