Alex is a natural language processing tool designed to catch insensitive, inconsiderate, or offensive writing in text, such as gender-biased, ableist, or profane language. It helps developers and writers maintain inclusive and respectful communication in documentation, code comments, and other text-based content by flagging problematic phrases and suggesting alternatives.
