Questions.
Is Pagyra a good Ellipsus alternative?
Yes, if you write as a team for work. Pagyra adds a shared workspace with admin controls, electronic signatures and every version kept on Pro, and the screenplay layout.
Does Pagyra use my writing to train AI?
No. Your writing is never sold or used to train AI. Gyra, the AI assistant, drafts only when someone asks, changes nothing until you keep it, and an admin can turn it off.
Can I bring my Ellipsus documents into Pagyra?
Yes. Download them from Ellipsus as Word or Markdown files and upload them to Pagyra, where each one opens as a document.
