This is really cool. I saw someone share snippets behind the scenes when they were just making this!

I cannot be the only one that gets away with only knowing:

  git pull
  git merge x
  git checkout [-b] foo
  git commit
  git push

Windows does not have Raycast? I don't know what I would do without it!

That must be a pretty huge opportunity. I don't use Windows, so not for me, but why no one has built something like it?

An SRE in a company I worked used to say that naming something temporary ___ is the best way to ensure that no one touches that code.

I've tried using it for generating articles based on provided fact sheet, and it somehow managed to invent a bunch of facts while referencing the fact sheet, without directly mentioning anything in the fact sheet. This is just so bad compared to OpenAI 4 or even 3.5.

How is that possible given that some of the smartest people work for Google?

In principle, I agree with you.

I spent a lot of time thinking about this subject and it boils down to: I can try to do this in such a way that creates the best possible outcome or I can wait for someone else to do it in such a way that makes it worse for everyone.

Take something like https://writesonic.com/ as an example. It is backed by Y Combinator and claims to have 5M+ users using it to write articles. They do exactly what you described – they use your topic to generate an article cramming unreferenced/unattributed facts into whatever they claim to be "SEO optimized" article structure. In fact, one of the reasons for developing AIMD is because I saw a substantial uptick in copywriter submissions of what is very clearly Writesonic generated content. They don't care about factual accuracy or attribution.

In contrast, what I am building towards is a fact checked, properly referenced way of writing articles. Every borrowed fact, citation, quote, etc is properly attributed. You could obviously choose to remove those references, but part of what I want to achieve is educating that keeping those references actually increases the legitimacy of the content.

One way or another, a variation of this is going to dominate the vast majority of content writing. The best possible outcome is that someone creates tools that reward good behavior/good actors.

Suppose you are hired as a copywriter to write a blog post for my website about doggy daycare. You are tasked to write about "cold-weather workouts for dogs", but you have little to no knowledge about the subject. So you have to research. You open Google and search what existing articles come up related to this topic. You read them, write down interesting facts, and then propose an outline to the employee. Employee approves it and you write the article based on everything you've discovered. So we are on the same page, this workflow describes the absolute vast majority of copywriting jobs.

So that's basically what AIMD does. You enter the topic, it searches for interesting facts and citations, it analyzes the structure of articles that already rank well on the subject, and proposes an outline. You [the human] edit/approve the outline, and AIMD writes the article for you.

It will cost USD 16/month.

I am prioritizing developing core features over adding billing, etc. However, I can see how not knowing what it will cost can be a turn off. I will add a pricing page just to set the expectations.

> I'd also maybe mention something like save X hours vs doing this yourself.

I am not a fan of saying "this will save you X time" or "write article in 5 minutes". It cheapens the product in a way. After all, I don't know how much time it will save you... it depends on how good of a job you were doing before.

Maybe I could add a section that outlines what activities this will do for you?, e.g.

* Finding authoritative articles and quotes * Writing an outline * Writing most of the article itself * Finding articles on your own website to reference (interlinking)

You will still need to do a fair bit of editing if you want high quality output... or you could just wing it.

Will work on these points. Thank you!

> I like the comic book design of the website. Looks very cool by the way.

Thank you!

Thank you!

I am building a writing tool and this serves as an inspiration. So beautiful!
