Paperwork should be as easy as describing it.

It started with reward letters

At a previous job, our support team was hand-rolling "reward letters," the documents that tell employees about raises, promotions, and comp changes. They poured hundreds of hours into building Word templates by hand, one company at a time. So I built them a docx-merge tool: drop placeholders into a Word doc, upload a spreadsheet, and out come hundreds of finished, personalized documents.

That worked. But it also opened my eyes. People everywhere are still hand-making documents, templates, and forms for every part of life, and the problem was much bigger than reward letters. So I spent my nights rebuilding it for everyone: a merge engine on a Jinja2 templating system. That was EZdoc on day one.

The Friday night that changed everything

One Friday night I sat down to use my own tool exactly like a customer would:

"I'll build a template, upload a CSV, and watch the magic happen."

I knew every pitfall. I knew the templating language cold. I knew exactly what I was doing. Three hours later, I'd built one of the most mediocre templates I'd ever seen. I remember thinking, nobody is actually going to do this. So I had a choice: abandon it, or pivot.

So I pivoted

People needed templates ready to go, and I had no way of knowing what was in anyone's spreadsheet. So I started building generic templates of the most common documents, working alongside AI to produce them. To find the right model for the job, I ran 52 experiments across 7 LLMs (Claude, GPT, DeepSeek, Grok, Kimi, Qwen, and Llama). In each experiment, every model generated about ten documents, and I graded all of them on tokens spent, speed, and the actual quality of what came back. A week later I shipped a library of 150 documents.

I'd done it, I thought. Then it hit me. Forget the template library; it was still too rigid. What I'd really built was something more powerful: an AI engine that generates and edits beautiful documents from a plain description. That was the product.

What EZdoc makes today

I kept refining the engine until it could produce some of the best-looking documents I'd ever seen, in about 30 seconds. Then I made them convert into reusable templates. Then into forms you can e-sign. Then I started asking what else I could generate for people, and which pieces fit together. Today EZdoc makes:

• 80+ document types
• Forms with e-signatures
• Web pages with instant hosting
• Images & social graphics
• Animations
• Presentations
• PDF recreation & editing
• Brand kits for consistent output
• A powerful visual editor
• Custom flow for every type

And I've built a custom flow for every one of them, to meet you where you are. Bring reference material, a past document, something to copy, images to drop in, whatever you've got. Getting it all to this bar has meant generating and reviewing more than five thousand documents by hand, and I'm still at it.
