Show HN: Personal AI Writing Assistant for Mac
- kamban 4y agoHi, I am Kamban. I have launched a beta version of the Mac productivity app called Elephas. It can do different tasks, say, it can fix grammar mistakes, rewrite a sentence, turns short instructions into an email, and write an outline for a topic. It works across different applications, say Pages, Notes, Gmail, Mail, Outlook, and more. Elephas uses OpenA as the AI engine. I would appreciate your feedback.
- midenginedcoupe 4y agoWhat suggestions does it come up with for your post? I'd be interested to see if it spots the same gramattical errors I can ;)

- lagrange77 4y ago> Elephas uses OpenA as the AI engine. Does it mean, that you're using the OpenAI GPT-3 API?
- kamban 4y agoYes, users need to input their own OpenAI API keys.
- almostdigital 4y agoI wish davinci-002 wasn't so damn expensive to use :(
- this_is_eline 4y agoCan you please explain, what is the point of 14 seconds autoplaying video of a girl typing on a laptop, on the top of the main page??
- peterbraden 4y agoThis seems to violate many of the OpenAI release guidelines (I am currently working on guiding a project through them, so am painfully aware of their stringency). Notably it: - Anthropomorphises the AI agent - Claims 'actual' intelligence
- kamban 4y agoI will probably remove the "actual" intelligence part and make it clear it uses OpenAI.

- hit8run 4y agoWhy should one use this and not the OpenAI Playground itself? As far as I'm concerned I'm fine with having a website open. One does need an API key anyways.
- wongarsu 4y agoGPT has to figure out which of the tasks they advertise it's supposed to do right now. Should it fix your grammar mistakes or convert it into an excel formula? I imagine they did some prompt-engineering to get OpenAI to give good results for their use cases, pattern match your input to find a good prompt from that list and prefix your input with it.
- sixhobbits 4y agowhile I think "Nicer wrapper around OpenAI API" is definitely a gap in the market right now, it feels kind of shitty to hide the fact that this is all this is in the small print of the small print (bottom of Gumroad 'purchase' page) -- and that you have to pay for both. > You need to use your own OpenAI account keys, which means you will be charged by OpenAI every month. They offer $18 free credits for the first three months. After that, you will be billed for the usage, but it should be a minimal amount for average use cases.
- sixhobbits 4y ago'minimal' also seems misleading to me, as OpenAI charges per word, including input/training words, so it's pretty easy to run up a fairly high bill with 'average use cases'
- kamban 4y agoI will rewrite it. Thank you.
- kamban 4y agoI have added the OpenAI information on the landing page. It should be clear now.
- hoppyhoppy2 4y agoI would suggest getting someone to proofread your website for grammatical errors and clunky phrasing, especially since this software is being sold as a tool that can fix grammar mistakes.
- kamban 4y agoThank you, I will work on this.
- kebsup 4y agoThe "sales meeting summary" example takes a nice overview of the information and converts it into hard to read needlessly long text. The others are cool though.
- kamban 4y agoI have added more features that let users expand text in different styles, such as professional, friendly, and polite.
