I love the workflow! This is how I'm writing articles now with ChatGPT's GPT-4, just with less copy-pasting and all in one place, and fewer Markdown problems.

The two things I'm missing, or didn't find how to use:

1. GPT-4 :) I know the API isn't public yet, but the reasoning abilities of GPT-4 are so much better that I'm having a hard time arguing with GPT-3.

2. I have a long prompt I give to GPT-4 (context on our product, writing style guidelines, text examples for style, words to avoid, etc.). It's about two pages long, in addition to the request for the specific article or paragraph I'm writing. How should I incorporate that into Type's UI?

3. How do I import/export a whole article, or paragraphs, as Markdown? EDIT: Copy-paste. Lol, simpler than I expected.

Glad you're liking it and thank you for the feedback!

1. GPT-4 is definitely on our radar and is something that we are planning to support as an option. There are trade-offs though as it's a lot slower and as people have mentioned, a lot more expensive.

2. You can use the built-in chat the same way you would use ChatGPT. With that said I know that is not the ideal way to achieve what you're looking for. We have some ideas around features that will address this specific problem. If that is something important to you and you'd like to chat about it feel free to email me and we can talk about it: stefan AT type.ai.

GPT-4 is way too expensive atm for anyone to offer it in their products, unless they're charging _a lot_, or are delegating to the user's API key. It's also very slow and unreliable for any production app.

$29/mo is more than my ChatGPT Plus subscription, which does include GPT-4 :)

ChatGPT Plus GPT-4 is heavily rate-limited, as well as slow for this use-case. As of now.

This is almost certainly operating off of <=gpt3.5-turbo.

They could have a button "think for more time" or something and allow a certain number of those per day. This is how Wolfram Alpha works used to work, for example.
